Fostering high quality DBT. Improving client outcomes.
DBT adherence and fidelity measurement tools to guide quality assurance efforts in routine practice.
The DBT Adherence Checklist for Individual Therapy (DBT AC-I)
The DBT AC-I is used to evaluate the extent to which a single individual therapy session is delivered according to the DBT treatment manual.
The DBT Program Fidelity Checklist (DBT PFC)
The DBT PFC is used to evaluate the degree to which a program is structured to include the critical elements of DBT.
“A significant barrier to improving the quality of DBT services in routine care has been the lack of pragmatic measures to evaluate if the treatment is being delivered according to the evidence-based model.”
