Predictors of Clinical Course and Treatment Response in DBT Programmes

Summary

The project is a collaboration between The National Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention (NSSF) and clinical units with Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) programmes. A methodological and technological platform has been established that enables clinicians to deliver high quality treatments over extended periods of time, to evaluate their own performance and productivity and to report it in a uniform and systematic way that will enable comparison across clinical settings and programmes. The collected data constitute the basis for conducting the clinical study with the overall aim to study predictors of the clinical course and treatment response in patients admitted to DBT programmes in Norway.
