OQ® 30.2

The OQ® 30.2 is a briefer version of the OQ®-45.2. This tool is recommended for practices which want to establish a baseline and track change but who want to decrease the front office administration and scoring time. Most researchers and small practices will likely want to select the OQ®-45.2. Outstanding features of the measure include:

• Standardized data: The OQ® 30.2 is a standardized instrument with empirical support.

• User-friendly: The OQ® 30.2 is brief to complete (less than 5 minutes) as well as to score, and is designed to be incorporated into an office visit in an unobtrusive manner.

• Assists with streamlining paperwork and with treatment planning: The OQ®-30.2 is designed to be an indicator of change and thereby can shorten progress notes. Treatment planning is made easier from assessing the content areas of the OQ®-30.2.

• Content that assesses functional level and change over time: Many products are designed to test for specific symptomatology and assign diagnoses. However, these same products ofter have no mechanism to show change and thus cannot be used to assess outcomes in treatment. The OQ®-30.2 measures functioning in 3 domains: Symptom distress (heavily loaded for depression and anxiety), Interpersonal functioning, and Social Role. This enables the practitioner to assess functional level and change over time. 

• Risk assessment: The OQ®-30.2 contains risk assessment items for suicide potential, substance abuse, and potential violence at work.

• Languages: The OQ®-30.2 is available in English, Spanish, and French.
