Adult Camberwell http://www.researchintorecovery. The adult Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN) is used to understand the
com/adultcan health and social needs of adults who have severe mental health problems.
Assessment of It covers 22 domains of an individual's life, such as accommodation, food,
Need (CAN) self-care, daytime activities, psychotic symptoms, childcare, money,
psychological distress, physical health and relationships.

There are four versions of the adult CAN for use in clinical work and in
research studies.

All versions of the adult CAN measure the need rating for each domain.
The need rating is either 'Unmet need' (a current serious problem), 'Met
need' (no problem because of help given) or 'No need' (not a problem).

Versions of the CAN include:

* Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule (CANSAS) - a

Outcomes Star http://www.outcomesstar.org.uk/ Outcomes Stars are designed to be completed collaboratively between the
client and key worker. Each Outcomes Star consists of a number of scales
based on an explicit model of change which creates coherence across the
whole tool and a Star Chart onto which the service user and worker plot
where the service user is on their journey. The attitudes and behaviour
expected at each of the points on each scale are clearly defined, usually in
detailed scale descriptions, summary ladders or a quiz format.

An Outcomes Star reading is taken by the worker and service user at or near
the beginning of their engagement. Using the ladders or other scale
descriptions, they identify together where on their ladder of change the
service user is for each outcome area. An example of the outcome areas for

from the COT tools to view results at an organisational level.
Alcohol Use http://auditscreen.org/ The AUDIT is used to identify persons with hazardous and harmful patterns
of alcohol consumption. The AUDIT was developed as a tool for screening
Disorders for excessive drinking and to assist in brief assessment. It can help identify
Identification Test excessive drinking as the cause of a presenting illness. It provides a
(AUDIT) framework for intervention to help risky drinkers reduce or cease alcohol
consumption and thereby avoid the harmful consequences of drinking. The

consequences of harmful drinking.

The tool includes 10 multiple choice items covering 3 domains - hazardous

alcohol use, dependence symptoms, and harmful alcohol use.

The tool can be administered by self-report questionnaire or interview.

Depression http://www2.psy.unsw.edu.au/da The DASS is a set of three self-report scales designed to measure the
ss/ negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and stress.
Anxiety Stress
Scales (DASS) Each of the three DASS scales contains 14 items, divided into subscales of 2-
5 items with similar content. The Depression scale assesses dysphoria,
hopelessness, devaluation of life, self-deprecation, lack of
interest/involvement, anhedonia, and inertia. The Anxiety scale assesses
autonomic arousal, skeletal muscle effects, situational anxiety, and
subjective experience of anxious affect. The Stress scale is sensitive to levels
of chronic non-specific arousal. It assesses difficulty relaxing, nervous
arousal, and being easily upset/agitated, irritable/over-reactive and
impatient. Subjects are asked to use 4-point severity/frequency scales to
rate the extent to which they have experienced each state over the past
week. Scores for Depression, Anxiety and Stress are calculated by summing
the scores for the relevant items.

In addition to the basic 42-item questionnaire, a short version, the DASS21,

decisions based on particular score profiles should be made only by
experienced clinicians who have carried out an appropriate clinical
examination.

GAS is not a proprietary tool but a method of scoring the extent to which an
individual's goals are achieved in the course of intervention. In effect, each
person has their own outcome measure but this is scored in a standardised
way as to allow statistical analysis. Traditional standardised measures
include a standard set of tasks (items) each rated on a standard level. In
GAS, tasks are individually identified to suit each person, and the levels are
individually set around their current and expected levels of performance.

The link provided presents information about use of GAS in rehabilitation

within a hospital setting. The process can be applied in a diverse range of
contexts.

Life Skills Profile http://www.blackdoginstitute.org. The LSP was developed to assess the life skills needed for successfully living
au/public/research/researchtools. in the community or institutional settings. While initially intended for
(LSP) cfm people with schizophrenia, it has also been used with people who have
other major psychiatric disorders and some organic conditions.

The tool comes in 3 versions:

* LSP-39, with 39 items, in 5 subscales - Self-care, Non-turbulence, Social

contact, Communication, Responsibility
* LSP-20, with 20 items, in 5 subscales - Self-care, Anti-social, Withdrawal,
Bizarre, Compliance
* LSP-16, with 16 items, in 4 subscales - Self-care, Anti-social, Withdrawal,
Compliance

The 16-item version is used extensively in Australian mental health data

sets.

The focus of the original version was on assessing what a person can do
rather than on what they cannot. This is reflected in the scoring of the items
and the names of the subscales in LSP-39.

The assessment is completed by a practitioner rather than the client.

nt_Coping_Scale.pdf intended for the evaluation of parenting support services where improved
Scale (PCS) parenting self-efficacy or improved self-perception of coping with parenting
is an overarching aim. The term impact is used to describe the sum of the
parts of multiple outcomes. Outcomes, by contrast, relate to changes over
time in specific domains of functioning or life circumstances (e.g., parents
methods of discipline, childrens behaviour, mothers mental health, etc.).

The PCS is a brief, single-item scale measuring parents self-reported ability

to cope with parenting. The PCS measures how parents assess their own
capabilities, rather than how parents behave.

The tool consists of five statements that together form a 5-point scale, from
coping very poorly to coping very well. Parents are asked to select which
statement best describes how they are coping with being a parent.

The tool takes 2-3 minutes to administer.
