<p>Associations of the individual rating scales and independent variables.</p

Association of the more favourable counsellor-assessed outcomes with larger improvements in the client rating scales.

<p>Box-plot shows the distribution of change in rating scales (complaint, functioning) for each status (increased, same, improved, resolved) at client’s last visit as assessed by the counsellor (n = 6,988).</p

Efficacy in monitoring change of two client rating scales used to assess counselling outcome.

<p>Histogram shows difference in the changes in the complaint and functioning rating scales. Rating scale difference is defined as (complaint rating at client’s last visit–complaint rating at the first visit)–(functioning rating at the client’s last visit–functioning rating at the first visit).</p
