A composite measure to determine improvement following treatment for social phobia: the Index of Social Phobia Improvement.

This article describes the development of a composite index to determine improvement in treatment outcome research with social phobia. The index is comprised of 5 individual outcome measures that tap various domains of social phobia and assess the disorder via multiple methods (e.g. self-report, clinical ratings, behavioral performance). The ability of the index to determine improvement over treatment, and its initial concurrent validity are discussed.
