Background summary
Dropout is a common problem in forensic psychiatry. It can hinder therapy and can therefore be costly in terms of time and money. Also, when a forensic patient has discontinued therapy unilaterally, without reaching the goals or completing his treatment it can have a negative effect on society.
Partner for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS) is a patient feedback method that is increasingly employed in mental health services worldwide and has shown to have a good effect on reducing dropouts. Whether this positive effect also occurs in a group of forensic patients of an outpatient clinic in the Netherlands is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RPM results in decrease of dropouts when added to treatment as usual.
Study objective
Addition of Partner for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS) to individual treatment will result in a significant decrease of drop-out compared to individual treatment without PCOMS in a forensic outpatient clinic in the Netherlands.
A sub-question of the study is: Addition of Partner for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS) to individual treatment will result in a significant decrease of no-show compared to individual treatment without PCOMS in a forensic outpatient clinic in the Netherlands.
