| Factor Loadings | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factor or Item | M (SD) | % Agree or Strongly Agree | EFA | CFA |
| Factor 1: Language/Interpretability | ||||
| The measure is available in multiple languages. | 3.13 (1.17) | 42.2 | .60 | .55 |
| The measure is easy to understand (uses simple language) | 3.70 (1.06) | 67.7 | .99 | 1.00 |
| Factor 2: Quick and Automated | ||||
| The measure can be completed in less than 5 minutes | 3.92(1.16) | 73.2 | .61 | .77 |
| No or minimal scoring is required | 3.89 (1.07) | 70.6 | .55 | .69 |
| The measure is computer-administered in the waiting room | 3.49 (1.33) | 56.4 | .83 | .74 |
| Client responses are automatically scored and sent to me | 3.86 (1.23) | 72.9 | .91 | .97 |
| Client progress over time is tracked for me by computer | 3.86 (1.23) | 71.6 | .98 | .92 |

| Someone else scores the standardized assessment measures for me | 3.53 (1.27) | 55.4 | .59 | .76 |
| The measures are easily accessible | 3.98 (.98) | 76.5 | .64 | .75 |
| I receive periodic summary reports of client progress for my clients | 3.83 (1.11) | 69.4 | .70 | .84 |
| Factor 4: Requirements | ||||
| The [evidence-based] practice requires routine progress monitoring | 3.61 (1.05) | 57.5 | .57 | .38 |

Note: Therapists rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) the degree to which they would use standardized assessment measures to routinely monitor progress every 1–2 sessions if these strategies were implemented.
