Intake Interviews and Their Role in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Counseling, 2020Co-Authors: Linda SeligmanAbstract:In most mental health agencies, clients are seen for an Intake Interview before treatment begins. Counselors in private practice also typically conduct a comprehensive initial Interview, although this process may not be labelled as a formal Intake procedure.

The Nature and Importance of Treatment Planning
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Counseling, 1996Co-Authors: Linda SeligmanAbstract:The initial or Intake Interview (discussed in Chapter 5) and the multiaxial assessment according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (discussed in Chapter 4) are the first two steps in effective counseling. These steps provide counselors with the information they need for step three, the development of a treatment plan.

Clients with substance abuse and mental health concerns: A guide for conducing Intake Interviews
Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research, 2002Co-Authors: Christiane Brems, Mark E. Johnson, Lorraine L. NamyniukAbstract:Although comorbidity (co-occurrence of a psychiatric and substance use disorder) is a common phenomenon at both mental health and substance abuse treatment agencies, rarely do such agencies thoroughly assess for both types of diagnoses during their standard Intake Interview. This article describes the development of an Intake form designed to guide a comprehensive assessment of both mental health and substance abuse concerns. The form guides Intake Interviewers toward documenting administrative and demographic information, substance use and mental health concerns, and variables needed for compliance with grant funding sources. Use of the protocol can provide a clinical foundation for treatment planning and continuity of care for clients, while also providing error-free agency data that can be used for administrative, program planning, outcome assessment, and research purposes.

Health literacy and the risk of hospital admission
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1998Co-Authors: David W. Baker, Ruth M. Parker, Mark V. Williams, W. Scott ClarkAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between patient literacy and hospitalization. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Urban public hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 979 emergency department patients who participated in the Literacy in Health Care study and had completed an Intake Interview and literacy testing with the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults were eligible for this study. Of these, 958 (97.8%) had an electronic medical record available for 1994 and 1995. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Hospital admissions to Grady Memorial Hospital during 1994 and 1995 were determined by the hospital information system. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine the independent association between inadequate functional health literacy and hospital admission. Patients with inadequate literacy were twice as likely as patients with adequate literacy to be hospitalized during 1994 and 1995 (31.5% vs 14.9%, p

the five year costs and benefits of extended psychological and psychiatric assessment versus standard Intake Interview for women with comorbid substance use disorders treated in compulsory care in sweden
BMC Health Services Research, 2018Co-Authors: Tina M Olsson, Mats FridellAbstract:Women with comorbid substance use disorders are an extremely vulnerable group having an increased relative risk of negative outcomes such as incarceration, morbidity and mortality. In Sweden, women with comorbid substance use disorders may be placed in compulsory care for substance abuse treatment. Clinical Intake assessment procedures are a distinct aspect of clinical practice and are a foundation upon which client motivation and continued treatment occurs. The current study is a naturalistic quasi-experiment and aims to assess the five-year costs and benefits of a standard Intake Interview versus an extended psychological and psychiatric assessment for a group of chronic substance abusing women placed in compulsory care in Sweden between 1997 and 2000. Official register data on criminal activity, healthcare use, compulsory care stays and other services was retrieved and all resources used by study participants from date of index care episode was valued. In addition, the cost of providing the Intake assessment was estimated. Results show that the extended assessment resulted in higher net costs over five years of between 256,000 and 557,000 SEK per person for women placed in care via the Law on Compulsory Care for Substance Abusers (LVM). Higher assessment costs made up a portion of this cost. The majority of this cost (47–57%) falls on the local municipality (social welfare) and 11.6–13.7% falls on the individual patient. Solid evidence supporting the clinical utility or incremental validity of assessment for improving treatment outcomes in this setting was not confirmed.
