By the end of 2000 PBH had analyzed over 38,000 patient self-report
questionnaires. The ALERT system involves multiple measures
during treatment, and so this total count represents participation
in ALERT by approximately 14,000 commercially insured members.
The sample of cases analyzed in this report began outpatient
treatment between May 1 of 1999 and April 31 of 2000. Most
have completed treatment, some are continuing in treatment,
and all have had at least three months of treatment. The primary
sample used for this report consists of 7390 cases, of which
3015 (41%) have at least two measurement points in treatment.
The following bar graph presents a breakdown of the sample
by age.
The total sample consists of a majority of females (62%).
However, in the under 18 age group, males outnumbered females
(55%). The following bar graphs display the break down of
sex and age (adults and children).
