Top Problems Measure

The Top Problems Measure is a tailored measure that lets you track how things are going in the client and caregivers’ own words. Clients and caregivers work with their clinician to identify the problems that are most important for them to work on in treatment, and then they rate them each week on a scale from 0, ‘not a problem at all’, to 4, ‘a very big problem’.

The Top Problems measure is a powerful tool because it helps give families a voice in identifying what to work on in treatment. Having families rate them each week also helps make sure treatment is focusing on the things that are most important to the family and helps make sure that those problems are improving.
