Pre-Post Inventory

The Pre-Post Inventory is designed for adult pretest (intake) - posttest (completion of treatment) effectiveness measurement. The same test is administered twice, consequently history (court and treatment) is minimized. The client's time referent is the "here-and-now" or last 30 days. The pretest (intake) becomes the baseline that posttest results are compared to. Computer software compares pretest (intake) scores with posttest (after treatment scores) and prints a "Comparison Report."

Although the Pre-Post Inventory is computer scored, the majority of evaluators use paper-pencil test booklets and answer sheets. This does not tie up their computer and enables evaluators to test individually or in groups. Then at the evaluators convenience he/she can input the answers into the computer for scoring. From data input the test is scored, interpreted and the Comparison Report is printed within 2 ½ minutes. And the Pre-Post Inventory is available in English and Spanish.
