the relationship between students Counseling Center contact and long term educational outcomes
Psychological Services, 2017Co-Authors: Brett E Scofield, Ashley L Stauffer, Benjamin D Locke, Jeffrey A Hayes, Yachi Hung, Megan L Nyce, Adam E Christensen, Alexander YinAbstract:Numerous studies have demonstrated that Counseling Centers deliver a positive impact on the emotional and social development of college students who receive services. These healthy outcomes, in turn, can lead to increased academic success, such as improved performance, retention, and persistence. While these short-term academic outcomes have been widely investigated, very few studies have explored the relationship between Counseling Center services and longer-term educational outcomes, such as final grade point average (GPA), time spent at the university, and degree completion. In the current study, Counseling Center usage, including appointments that were attended, cancelled, and no showed, as well as distal educational variables were examined within 2 cohorts of first-time full-time students over a 6-year period. Findings revealed that both users and nonusers of Counseling Center services spent a similar amount of time to degree completion and achieved comparable final semester GPAs as well. However, students who utilized Counseling services graduated at a significantly lower rate (79.8%) than those who did not use services (86.2%) across the 6-year time span. Post hoc analyses indicated that among students who used Counseling services, those who did not graduate scheduled significantly more services than those who graduated, suggesting that students who use the Counseling Center, and have more chronic and severe mental health problems, may be graduating at a lower rate. Implications are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

self compassion among college Counseling Center clients an examination of clinical norms and group differences
Journal of college counseling, 2014Co-Authors: Allison J Lockard, Jeffrey A Hayes, Kristin D Neff, Benjamin D LockeAbstract:There has been growing interest in the mental health benefits of self-compassion. This study was designed to establish norms on the Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form, a popular measure of self-compassion for individuals seeking Counseling, and to examine group differences in self-compassion based on gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, previous Counseling, and psychiatric medication use. Data for this study were collected through the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, a practice-research network of more than 240 college and university Counseling Centers.

clinical validity of the Counseling Center assessment of psychological symptoms 62 ccaps 62 further evaluation and clinical applications
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Andrew A Mcaleavey, Benjamin D Locke, Jeffrey A Hayes, Louis G Castonguay, Samuel S Nordberg, Allison J LockardAbstract:Self-report instruments of psychological symptoms are increasingly used in Counseling Centers but rely on rigorous evaluation of their clinical validity. Three studies reported here (total N = 26,886) investigated the validity of the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62; Locke et al., 2011) as an assessment and screening instrument. In Study 1, initial evidence regarding the concurrent validity of the CCAPS-62 was replicated and extended in a naturalistic clinical sample of clients from 16 Counseling Centers. Using this sample, convergent validity of the subscales was examined in Counseling Center clients, the range of sensitivity of the subscales was investigated using item-response theory, and the presence of 2nd-order factors was preliminarily examined. In Study 2, 7 of the 8 CCAPS-62 subscales statistically significantly differentiated between students in Counseling and those who were not, using data collected from a large national survey, although most differences were small and the groups' distributions overlapped considerably. Cut scores based on the differences between these clinical and nonclinical populations showed limited utility due to overall similarities between these broadly defined groups. In Study 3, therapist-rated diagnoses collected from 5 university Counseling Centers were used to further examine the validity of subscale scores. In addition, cut points for diagnostic screening using receiver operating characteristic curves were evaluated. Overall, these studies support the use of the CCAPS-62 as an initial measure of psychological symptoms in college Counseling settings, provide additional information about its psychometric performance, develop cut scores, and illustrate the potential for collaboration between practitioners and researchers on a large scale.

the Center for collegiate mental health studying college student mental health through an innovative research infrastructure that brings science and practice together
Harvard Review of Psychiatry, 2012Co-Authors: Benjamin D Locke, Louis G Castonguay, Kathleen J Bieschke, Jeffrey A HayesAbstract:Available information about college student mental health has largely been anecdotal or based on information drawn from a single institution. This review examines ten studies published within the past 20 years that focused on college student mental health using data collected from multisite college or university Counseling Center clients or staff. This subset of research on college student mental health is important in view of the increased demands on Counseling Centers and the increased emphasis on evidence-based practice. Collectively, these studies suggest that the presenting concerns of college students are changing, that those in treatment are more distressed than those who are not, that clients who identify as ethnic minorities appear to evidence slightly more distress than their white counterparts, that matching client and counselors relative to ethnicity does not appear to improve outcome, and that Counseling services seem to improve outcome. While each study makes a unique contribution to the lit...

development of the Counseling Center assessment of psychological symptoms japanese version pilot study
Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, 2020Co-Authors: Ryo Horita, Benjamin D Locke, Aki Kawamoto, Akihiro Nishio, Tadahiro Sado, Mayumi YamamotoAbstract:There is currently no reliable and valid multidimensional instrument for measuring psychological symptoms among Japanese university students. The purpose of this pilot study was to translate the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62) into Japanese and evaluate its validity and reliability. Following robust translation procedures, the CCAPS-Japanese was created. In the validation study, 2,758 undergraduate students from 11 universities (mean age = 19.08 ± 1.85 years) completed the CCAPS-Japanese. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the theoretical eight-factor structure model of the CCAPS-Japanese with the exclusion of seven items. The decision to retain/remove items was made by evaluating factor loadings and model fit indices while considering cultural equivalence and structural validity. Using the finalized 55-item CCAPS-Japanese, further analyses demonstrated that the eight subscales had acceptable to good internal consistencies (α = .61-.89). Thus, the tool's validity and reliability were established. The CCAPS-Japanese may be appropriate for assessing the psychological concerns of Japanese university students.

development of the Counseling Center assessment of psychological symptoms 62 ccaps 62
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Benjamin D Locke, Andrew A Mcaleavey, Puiwa Lei, Johanna Soet Buzolitz, James Boswell, Todd Sevig, Jerome D Dowis, Jeffrey A HayesAbstract:Few instruments have been designed specifically to address the needs of college Counseling Centers. This article reviews existing instruments and presents 4 studies that describe the development and psychometric properties of a new instrument, the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62). Study 1 describes the initial item development, factor analysis, and preliminary scale development steps. Study 2 describes the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses using data from more than 22,000 clients pooled via a national practice-research network of Counseling Centers. Studies 3 and 4 provide preliminary evidence of subscales' convergent validity and retest reliability. Results from these 4 studies provide support for the instrument's factor structure, construct validity, and subscale reliabilities for both the total sample and subgroups. Clinical and methodological issues pertaining to the future development of the CCAPS are discussed in the context of a national practice-research network of college Counseling Centers.
