    Administering Client-Rated HoNOSCA’s

    The client-rated version of HoNOSCA has been developed using the 13 scales in Section A
    of the clinician-rated HoNOSCA. This consists of an administered questionnaire based on
    the main statement for each scale worded in the form of a question. For example, scale 1 of
    the clinician-rated HoNOSCA “Disruptive, anti-social or aggressive behaviour” became
    “Have you been troubled by your disruptive behaviour, physical or verbal aggression?”

    The client-rated HoNOSCA is completed with minimal assistance from an independent


    person (i.e. not clinician). This assistant explains the purpose of HoNOSCA (i.e. to measure
    outcome) and gives a few brief guidelines, which consist of -

    -Answer questions with last two weeks in mind.


    -Try to be honest
    -Try to answer all 13 questions
    -Please tick one box for each question
    -Try to rate the most severe difficulty mentioned in a question
    -Take as long as necessary to answer questions

    The client then completes the questionnaire with the assistant still present, so that help can be
    given in answering the questions if difficulties arise.

    If it is not possible for an assistant to be available to administer the questionnaire, the client is
    given a “guidance sheet”, which consists of the brief guidelines given above as well as an
    example which goes through a specific question and possible responses.

    The client-rated HoNOSCA should be administered every time a clinician-rated


    HoNOSCA is completed, to act as a comparison. This would usually be at assessment, six-
    weekly review and discharge.
