Barriers to Treatment Participation Scale-Expectancies (BTPS-exp)

The Barriers to Treatment Participation Scale, is a 44 item rating of how much parents agree with statements about their expectancies of barriers to treatment participation for their child, using a 5-point Likert scale (1=totally disagree, 5= totally agree). There are 4 subscales in the barriers to treatment scale. An additional 14 items comprise a separate Critical Events Score. There is also a therapist version of the scale.

The parent version that appears on this site is 38 items and includes 3 of the 4 subscales of the barriers to treatment scale (Stressors and Obstacles that Compete with Treatment, Treatment Demands and Issues, and Perceived Relevance of Treatment). The 4th subscale, Relationship with the Therapist (6 items) was not used in this study nor was the Critical Events Score.
