DVI PRE-POST

This is the DVI Pre-Post Test Comparison Checklist webpage.  This checklist should help you focus on important "outcome test" features.  For example, the absence of "criminal history" and the focus on the "here-and-now" allows scale scores to increase, stay the same or decrease.  These unique features are important when assessing "outcome."
