Time Frame: February 1, 2015 - January 31, 2016

Funded By: UMass Chan Medical School Department of Psychiatry - SHINE Collaborative Research Program, Internal Funds

Description: 
This study will investigate the relationship of treatment attrition (TA) to factors that are the intermediate targets of the major existing adult TA interventions, and factors that likely contribute either uniquely or more strongly to TA in young adults than mature adults. The study will examine differences in treatment expectations, psychological distress, therapeutic alliance, self-determination, and social network stigma between young adults who are low and high attenders in outpatient psychotherapy from outpatient psychotherapy clinics in Massachusetts.
