Clients who receive alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment experience variable outcomes. Measuring clinical progress during treatment using standardized measures (i.e., measurement-based care) can help indicate whether clinical improvements are occurring. Measures of mechanisms of behavioral change (MOBCs) may be particularly well-suited for measurement-based care; however, measuring MOBCs would be more feasible and informative if measures were briefer and if their ability to detect reliable change with individual clients was better articulated.
