Abstract

Results of randomly administering interview and a self administering form of the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire to two samples of outpatients are reported. One sample completed the questionnaire both at intake and 90 days later, while the other sample did so only at 90-day follow-up. Method of administration, sex, and test-retest effects were studied. Differences between outpatients at intake and follow-up, between clients at intake and the Denver nonpatient sample, and between client intake scores and the "minimum desired program outcome" score were also investigated. Results indicated troubling method of administration interaction effects at follow-up, minimal client at intake-public norm differences on most scales, minor but confounding practice effects, and prominent sex differences on several scales.
