[Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) early in treatment and disorder specific. Observational study into generic and specific questionnaires to measure the early change in depression treatment].

CONCLUSION: For clients and practitioners whose treatment focus is reducing depressive symptoms, a disorder specific questionnaire is preferable to monitor this. The measurement between 4 and 8 weeks is important for, if necessary, adjusting the treatment, and to improve the treatment outcome. PMID: 32141519 [PubMed - in process]
