MIPA-Mobile: monitorização da intervenção psicoterapêutica com adolescentes com recurso a aplicações móveis: resultados preliminares

The main goal of the project MIPA-Mobile is to develop and to test a new model for outcome monitoring (OM) with adolescents, based on a computer application, integrating information from different key-informants (i.e. parents, adolescent and teachers). Traditionally, the assessment of relevant variables for OM is focused on measures of symptoms and/or well-being, and the inclusion of process measures (e.g. working alliance) is not common; furthermore, monitoring is usually conducted using paper-pencil instruments, implying time and material resources that often jeopardize its implementation. This poster aims at presenting the MIPA-Mobile project, reflecting on the preliminary results of the exploratory study (data collection is ongoing), namely the number of completed questionnaires, average response time to inquiries, mean interval between sessions and the adherence rates. Results will be discussed concerning feasibility of the use of new technologies in the OM process with adolescents.
