• Thankfully, a simple, evidence-based alternative exists for maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment based on using ongoing client feedback to empirically tailor services to the individual client needs and characteristics.
• Over a dozen randomized clinical trials, involving a wide range of clients and presenting complaints, document that the principles and practices associated with Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) improve outcomes and client satisfaction by as much as 65%, cuts dropout rates in half, and decreases the risk of deterioration by one third.
• FIT does not require a great deal of time and can be incorporated into any therapeutic approach or treatment setting.
• Many clinicians and agencies around the world are using the data generated by FIT to provide evidence of effectiveness and accountability to regulatory bodies, payers, and funders.
