“…These figures can be compared to those for the SCORE 15 in Fay et al. 's () study of adults. The alpha value of 0.55 for the strengths scale in the child sample compares with a value of 0.76 in the adult sample.…”

“…Fay et al. () report values above 0.75 for all three scales of the SCORE 28, suggesting that the larger pool of items results in greater internal reliability. In this respect, the practical gain that is made through the brevity of the Child SCORE and SCORE 15 appears to be at the expense of reduced internal reliability.…”

The Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE) Index of Family Function and Change is a recently developed outcome measure. It was designed to be acceptable to adults and children aged 12 and over. Thus far no research has been conducted using the SCORE in children under the age of 12. The aim of this study was to pilot a children's version of the SCORE. An existing 29-item version of the SCORE was completed by a sample of seven children aged 8-10. Time was allowed for group discussion with the children. Feedback from this stage of the study was used to develop a draft version of the SCORE for children. An expert panel of clinicians and researchers were also consulted. A pilot version of the Child SCORE was administered to 80 children aged 7-10 in an inner London primary school. Thirty-five children also completed the measure for a second time, 1 week later. Findings suggested that the Child SCORE was acceptable to children in the 8-11 age range. Values for internal reliability and test-retest reliability were good. The Child SCORE appears to be a promising instrument. Further research is required to confirm its acceptability to clinical populations, and to demonstrate sensitivity to change. As suggested by Worrall-Davies and Cottrell (2009), a more sophisticated research approach to outcomes in young people would go beyond measuring symptoms and behaviors to also include such factors as interactions within the family. The need for measures that capture change within families is particularly strong within CAMHS settings, where a number of commonly used treatments, such as parenting groups and family therapy, specifically target family interactions. Moreover, the use of measures that assess family functioning during treatment episodes in CAMHS could shed light on family factors as moderators and mediators of treatment outcome. This would hold true for individual treatments such as CBT, as well as family-focused treatments. Although there has been a proliferation of family assessment measures in the past decades, none have become routinely used within clinical practice, and there is no "gold standard" measure (Stratton, Bland, Janes & Lask, 2010). Moreover, many of the existing measures have lengthy administration times, thus precluding their routine use .Given this context, the SCORE (Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation) Index of Family Function and Change is a recently developed self-report measure designed to assess change within families . It was designed to be used in both practice settings and as a research tool. The published literature on the SCORE suggests that it is a valid and reliable measure of family functioning. Stratton et al. (2010) have reported the process of developing a 40-item version of the measure, the SCORE 40. The SCORE has three dimensions:• Strengths and adaptability • Overwhelmed by difficulty • Disrupted communication Stratton et al. (2010) describe the process of refining the measure to the 15-item SCORE 15, to reduce the length of time required to...

One-hundred-ninety-nine adult mental health service users were interviewed with a protocol that included the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Structured Clinical Interviews for Axis I and II DSM-IV disorders, the Global Assessment of Functioning scale, the SCORE family assessment measure, the Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Appraisal Schedule, and the Readiness for Psychotherapy Index. Compared to a U.S. normative sample, Irish clinical cases had higher levels of maltreatment. Cases with comorbid axis I and II disorders reported more child maltreatment than those with axis I disorders only. There was no association between types of CM and types of psychopathology. Current family adjustment and service needs (but not global functioning and motivation for psychotherapy) were correlated with a CM history. It was concluded that child maltreatment may contribute to the development of adult psychopathology, and higher levels of trauma are associated with co-morbid personality disorder, greater service needs and poorer family adjustment. A history of child maltreatment should routinely be determined when assessing adult mental health service users, especially those with personality disorders and where appropriate evidence-based psychotherapy which addresses childhood trauma should be offered.Child Maltreatment 3
