The Treatment Integrity Measurement Study (TIMS) was an NIMH-funded project designed to develop and test the utility of four related but distinct observational measures of treatment integrity. The Treatment Integrity Measurement-Efficient (TIME) study is an effort to reduce the size and/or time needed for the use of the observational instruments we developed in TIMS. Our four measures tap:
- Adherence: The degree to which a therapist was following the treatment manual
- Differentiation: The degree to which a therapist was engaged in a variety of different treatment strategies
- Competence: The quality of the therapist’s delivery of core CBT interventions as well as some measurement of common factors competence
