Treatment Attitudes and Expectations Questionnaire

Greater congruence of participant’s expectations of treatment and beliefs regarding the causes and nature of substance use with those of the treatment they receive may result in improved outcome over participants whose treatment expectations contrast with study treatment received (Hall et al., 1991). The Treatment Attitudes and Expectation form, a self-report of treatment attitudes, adapted from the NIMH TDCRP (Elkin et al., 1985), has been modified for use with drug dependent individuals.
