Cocaine Craving Questionnaire - Now Information
Description
The CCQ-Gen and CCQ-Now are 45 item self-report questionnaires that assesses cocaine craving. The Now version asks about current craving for cocaine, and the General version asks about average craving over the preceding week. Items for the questionnaire were generated to represent five distinct conceptualizations of cocaine craving: (1) desire to use cocaine; (2) anticipation of positive outcomes from cocaine use; (3) anticipation of relief from cocaine withdrawal symptoms or relief from negative mood; (4) intention and planning to use cocaine; (5) lack of control over use. The first 4 item categories were adapted from the QSU.

Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-IV Information
Description

Developed at the National Center for PTSD, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) has become the “gold standard” for assessing posttraumatic stress disorder in individuals over age 15. This user-friendly structured interview is ideal for screening, differential diagnosis, confirmation of a PTSD diagnosis, or identifying Acute Stress Disorder. Completion time for the full CAPS interview is 45-60 minutes. The CAPS consists of 30 carefully worded interview questions that target DSM-IV criteria for PTSD without leading the respondent. The interview gives a clear picture of symptom severity and sufficient information to determine whether a current or lifetime diagnosis of PTSD is indicated. In addition, the CAPS includes a protocol for assessing Criterion A, a diagnostic requirement that the patient has experienced at least one traumatic event involving both life threat or serious injury and an overwhelming emotional response. The scale also offers an optional Life Events Checklist, with just 17 items, that can be completed by the patient to help identify precipitating traumatic events. Although initially developed with combat veterans, the CAPS has been successfully used with many veteran, civilian and refugee trauma populations, including victims of rape, car accidents, incest, torture, cancer, and the Holocaust. It has gained international acceptance because it is psychometrically sound and because it is flexible and easy to use. Supported by 10 years of research, the CAPS is a highly useful and flexible tool for evaluating PTSD.

Clinician Administered PTSD Life Events Checklist Information
Description
The Life Events Checklist (LEC) is a brief, 17-item, self-report measure designed to screen for potentially traumatic events in a respondent's lifetime. The LEC assesses exposure to 16 events known to potentially result in PTSD or distress and includes one item assessing any other extraordinarily stressful event not captured in the first 16 items. For each item, the respondent checks whether the event (a) happened to them personally, (b) they witnessed the event, (c) they learned about the event, (d) they are not sure if the item applies to them, and (e) the item does not apply to them. The LEC was developed concurrently with the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and is administered before the CAPS. The LEC has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties as a stand-alone assessment of traumatic exposure, particularly when evaluating consistency of events that actually happened to a respondent. The LEC has also demonstrated convergent validity with measures assessing varying levels of exposure to potentially traumatic events and psychopathology known to relate to traumatic exposure. However, the LEC does not establish that the respondent has experienced an event with sufficient severity to meet DSM-IV criteria for a traumatic exposure (Criterion A1), and it does not assess peritraumatic emotional experiences (Criterion A2).

Clinician & Supervisor Survey Information
Description
This 40-item self-report survey was developed as part of a NIDA National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network protocol to obtain information on: demographics; levels of experience, education, and credentials; personal recovery; counseling orientation; previous MET/MI training; and beliefs about treatment, clients, and the recovery process. For counseling orientation, clinicians are asked to rate on a 5-point Likert scale the extent to which each of seven common addiction counseling approaches describes their typical approach. The approaches listed include: 12-step/disease concept, relapse prevention/cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, motivational interviewing, Rogerian/client centered, Gestalt/experiential, and psychodynamic/interpersonal therapy. For treatment beliefs, clinicians were asked to either rate on a 5-point Likert scale their agreement with several treatment-related beliefs. The statements include the following: resistant clients are very difficult; abstinence is a necessary goal; effective counseling involves struggle; clients need to accept powerlessness; treatment involves advice/suggestions; need to get through to unmotivated clients.

Clinical Global Impression Scales Information
Description
The CGI is a standardized assessment tool used to measure treatment response among psychiatric patients, and is widely used in psychopharmacology trials as an outcome measure. It is designed to assess global severity of illness and change in the clinical condition over time. It consists of 3 global subscales: Severity of Illness; Global Improvement; Efficacy Index. Item 1 is rated on a seven-point scale (1=normal to 7=extremely ill); item 2 on a seven-point scale (1=very much improved to 7=very much worse); and item 3 on a four-point scale (from 'none' to 'outweighs therapeutic effect'). The CGI is typically administered several times during treatment to track progress. While it takes only about 5 minutes to complete, its use requires knowledge of the patient's clinical history in order for the clinician to determine change in condition.
