AREAS OF APPLICATION

The POMS is applicable in clinical, medical, and research settings, enabling monitoring of treatment and evaluation, as well as clinical trials.

REPORT OPTIONS

Assessment Reports provide detailed information about scores from a single administration, presented both numerically and graphically. An individual's scores are compared to those in the normative sample and elevations at the scale and subscale level are indicated.

Progress Reports compare the results of two to four administrations for the same individual to measure changes over time. These reports are ideal to use when monitoring treatment and intervention effectiveness.

SOUTH AFRICAN RESEARCH
