Confirmatory factor analyses of IDS-42 items suggested a hierarchical structure for the scale.

Lower- and higher-order IDS-42 subscales were shown to possess adequate-to-high levels of internal consistency. The eight lower-order IDS-42 factors demonstrated excellent concurrent validity with conceptually similar DMQ subscale scores.

Earlier research estimated the incremental costs and outcomes of a modified therapeutic community (modified TC) for mentally ill chemical abusers (MICAs) relative to a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group.

Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to estimate differences in treatment and other service costs among completers, separaters, and TAU.
