title: The development and reliability of the RAATE-CE.
abstract: The Recovery Attitude And Treatment Evaluator-Clinical Evaluation (RAATE-CE) utilizes a brief, structured clinical interview that assesses five key dimensions that produce a clinically relevant and useful severity profile of the patient for making placement, continued stay, discharge, and treatment-planning decisions. The RAATE-CE also measures treatment progress. These five dimensions are: (A) degree of resistance to treatment (including denial of addiction problems); (B) degree of resistance to continuing care (including self-help groups); (C) acuity of biomedical problems; (D) acuity of psychiatric-psychological problems; and (E) the degree to which the psychosocial environment is supportive or detrimental to recovery. Data on 139 publicly funded, high-severity subjects suggest that the RAATE-CE demonstrates an interrater reliability across the five dimensions between .59 and .77, and an internal consistency reliability range between .65 and .87.
