[ROM in mental health care: treatment outcomes of both generic and disorder specific instruments in patients with anxiety disorders; a cohort study].

In routine outcome monitoring (rom) generic instruments are often used to measure outcomes. This could hamper the clinical use of these instruments and lead to a possible underestimation of treatment outcomes.
AIM: To examine whether there are differences in the degree of progress between outcomes of disorder specific instruments measuring anxiety symptoms and the Symptomatic Distress subscale of the Outcome Questionnaire-45 (oq-45-sd).
