Description of a Portfolio
The portfolios are toolkits pulling together high-quality information and resources for evidence-based assessment. The goal is to make the material easy for clinicians to find and use. Each covers the following topics:


 * Benchmark rates in different settings,
 * Diagnostic criteria and considerations (ICD-11 diagnostic criteria),
 * Assessment resources, emphasizing the best free options when possible
 * Diagnostic interviews,
 * Progress measures, and
 * Outcome measures.

The materials also include administration information, psychometric data, scoring information, and links to the measures themselves. They are grouped as:


 * 1) Screening tools and assessments that can be done ahead of the first appointment
 * 2) Diagnostic interviews and deeper, focused assessments, often done during the assessment session
 * 3) Progress and Outcome measures, designed to measure change over the course of treatment
