AI Article Synopsis
- Mental health programs require standardized measures for effective practice assessment, and the General Organizational Index (GOI) is commonly used for this purpose but lacks extensive psychometric research.
- In a study assessing the GOI scale across 11 sites over 18 months, it exhibited strong interrater reliability (0.97), high agreement between assessors (86% overall), and good internal consistency (0.77-0.80) at three different time points.
- The findings suggest that the GOI scale has acceptable psychometric properties, which could improve the implementation and research of evidence-based mental health practices.
Article Abstract
To assess the implementation of effective practices, mental health programs need standardized measures. The General Organizational Index (GOI), although widely used for this purpose, has received minimal psychometric research. For this study, we assessed psychometric properties of the GOI scale administered four times over 18 months during the implementation of a new program in 11 sites. The GOI scale demonstrated high levels of interrater reliability (.97), agreement between assessors on item ratings (86% overall), internal consistency (.77-.80 at three time points), sensitivity to change, and feasibility. We conclude that the GOI scale has acceptable psychometric properties, and its use may enhance implementation and research on evidence-based mental health practices.Trial registration: REK2015/2169. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03271242.
