Summary:
The Australian Alcohol Treatment Outcome Measure (AATOM-C) was developed for routine clinical use to monitor treatment outcomes for clients receiving treatment for problems arising from their alcohol use. It was designed to be a multi-dimensional, standardised, valid and reliable instrument for use by health professionals within the Australian context. As a clinical tool, the AATOM-C was designed to be brief, easy to administer and flexible enough to be incorporated into existing data collection and reporting practices across a range of treatment settings. Intended for both “one-off” and on-going evaluation of alcohol treatment service clients, the instrument covers a range of treatment outcomes useful for documenting the efficacy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of treatment whilst taking into account differences in client characteristics, treatment settings and services.
