How to complete your outcome questionnaire
Research has shown that giving feedback to counsellors from session to session about how counselling is progressing and how clients are feeling and functioning can significantly improve the effectiveness of counselling. To help us gain a deeper understanding of your current situation we have introduced a short questionnaire, prior to each counselling session. The questionnaire is called the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ30) and takes about 5 minutes to complete.
STEP 1 | Please read and complete the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ) form. This form gives us the permission to use de-identified information and results for research purposes. |
STEP 2 | Install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and login using your Griffith Credentials. You only need to do this step once. If you have completed the questionnaire online in the past or if you have already done this for other restricted Griffith applications, simply login to your VPN and go to step 3. |
STEP 3 | Once you have logged into your VPN, open the OQ30 and log in using your Date of Birth and Student ID (ie. '1234567' - note that it is written without the 'S'). All responses are confidential, secure and private. This link will only work if you have logged into your VPN. |
