Reviewer feedback
46.09 - Response to reviewer comments
- NICE evaluation

- Assessment procedures in IAPT
- Info about IAPT, ICD-10 codes problem descriptors, risk assessment, and completing the “IAPT Data Set”.
- Screening questions on depression, other anxiety disorders (see pictures below)
- Reliable improvement, recovery, reliable recovery
- Reliable improvement: Changes more than X points on questionnaire (deterioration if worsening)
- Recovery: cut-off in severity.
- Completers vs two sessions (IAPT way)
- Only attending two “sessions” is a very low bar for treatment activity. In our case this means completing two weekly assessments, when most patients had only received psychoeducation and not been introduced to ERP yet.
- Questionnaires used
- PEQ unusual
- Participant flow (limitation)
- It’s a limitation in our data that we don’t know how many were offered OCD-NET and refused to participate, and whether they represented a particular group of patients.
What’s interesting here is that screening questions for PD, SAD, specific phobia are before OCD. But GAD is after OCD, and what I saw in supervision was often that patients rather displayed typical GAD. The instructions say that the assessor should continue with all questions regardless of answer but maybe they were sloppy and stopped once positive on OCD indication?
