Our Commitment to Providing Clinically Excellent Care to Teens
“It was important to our development team that Evolve’s outcomes program went above and beyond the basic data sets compiled by most treatment centers, which is what led the team to adopt the use of an adaptive tool called the K-CAT. This tool allows our teams to collect robust clinical data that can guide individualized care and provide a more detailed understanding of clinical outcomes and treatment efficacy. We hope that you will find our results compelling and strong evidence that real change happens here. We remain thankful for the privilege to be a part of that process for each family that comes through our doors.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Evolve’s Clinical Outcomes Program utilizes a cutting-edge tool called the Kiddie−Computerized Adaptive Test (“K-CAT”). Developed by Adaptive Testing Technologies, the “K-CAT” is a researched-backed and validated assessment tool for youth ages 7-17. Questions are selected from a large bank of over 2,000 items and are customized to the user so that the most precise results possible are provided. The K-CAT has been studied rigorously and published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
To learn more about the K-CAT, download our complete outcomes study.
The K-CAT stands out as a superior tool due to its adaptive testing technology and ability to track symptom changes over time. Unlike other assessment tools, like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, that have a narrower scope and need to be combined with other tools to give a clear clinical picture, the K-CAT gives our clinicians the ability to easily assess a variety of clinical domains throughout treatment, all in one assessment. With its dynamic design, the K-CAT adapts to each teen’s responses, delivering clinical diagnoses and ratings of symptom severity that are both accurate and tailored to the individual teen. This makes it especially valuable for clinicians working with adolescents, as it provides a holistic view of their mental health and supports data-driven, individualized care.
