|
Now, files of data for analysis are available as standard output directly in Web-Link. |
|
|
|
Previously, to obtain files of data for analysis, Web-Link users had to purchase Assessment Data Manager (ADM), then export data from Web-Link, then import the data into ADM, then export the data for analysis.
ASEBA has removed ADM as the "middle man" in this process. To obtain data for analysis, simply check the box during key entry or set up of electronic forms. More information on file format, concatenation of multiple files, and conducting analyses can be found here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASEBA has added two features that allow you to assign two users in your account, rather than one, to receive data for download into ADM and two users, rather than one, to receive scored profiles and narratives from any form. This wider sharing applies to key-entered forms as well as electronic forms completed online by your respondents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Data Download to ADM
|
|
Web-Link customers include service agencies that share a Web-Link account as part of a larger, “umbrella”, agency. Designating the second ADM data recipient allows the service agency to obtain rating form data for their ADM while automatically sending the same rating form data directly to the umbrella agency from Web-Link. This feature saves the service agency the time and labor of importing the rating form data into ADM, exporting it to a transfer file and sending the transfer file to the umbrella agency. This feature also removes the potential errors and confusion that can arise from that rather complicated process.
|
|
|
|
Scored profiles and narratives
|
|
A similar feature is available for sharing scored profiles and narratives. This type of sharing is efficient and a clincially useful tool when scored output is needed by two users. For example, the clinician conducting a counselling session needs a profile as soon as it is entered. That same profile can also be sent to your medical records person to be included in the patient’s chart. Another example of this convenient feature is to allow a supervisor to see the profile that her trainee will use to write up a psychological assessment.

In addition to the supervisor equivalent and regular user types, ASEBA has added the "Manager" and "Restricted" user types to Web-Link. Other improvements to user management have also been made. |
|
|
|
You can now benefit from two new user types in your Web-Link account. |
|
 |
|
The Manager User, like a Supervisor Equivalent, can add new users to your account. The access to account functions that a Manager User has does differ significantly from the access a Supervisor Equivalent has. The Manager User can only change or remove users they have added, cannot view output for any user in the account, and cannot change account default settings. |
|
|
|
The Restricted User has a lower level of permissions than a Regular User. The Restricted User does not have access to any "Personal Settings" options except the options to receive e-mail notifications and set an e-mail address. |

Other changes to user management include:
Requiring all supervisor-issued passwords must be changed the first time a user logs in.The "Personal Settings" preferences, including email address and user group, can be set by the supervisor or manager when a new user is added to Web-Link.A new account report showing the "Family Tree" of users (which users were added by other users) is available on the Account Reports screen. |

Multicultural scoring is now available for ASEBA school age forms CBCL 6/18, TRF 6/18, and YSR 11/18 |
|
|
|
ASEBA has collated data from CBCL, TRF, and YSR forms obtained in 36 countries. While the mean raw scores were similar, the distribution of the scores showed that there were clusters of countries, or societies, with relatively lower and higher scores. |
|
|
|
ASEBA has developed three sets of norms to reflect distributions of ASEBA scale scores from cultures with relatively low, intermediate, and high scores. These norms are used to assign T-scores for ASEBA school-age forms scales. Multicultural scoring thus allows you to evaluate scores obtained in different societies with more precision than using a single set of norms for all children. |
|
|
|
Multicultural scoring is determined by the culture of the respondent (parent, teacher, or youth), not the child being rated. Depending on the society of the respondent, a T-score may be higher than, lower than, or the same as the T-score assigned to the same raw score for the average of all societies. |
|
|
Thus, a T-score in the normal range can be assigned to a raw score for a relatively high reporting culture, while the same raw score could be assigned a T-score in the borderline or clinical range for a relatively low reporting culture. The multicultural basis of the scoring reflects the differences in base rates in reporting of behavior problems. These rates vary by respondent class (parents, youths, teachers) and society. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, the 2007 scales are now scored for school age forms. These new scales are the Obsessive-Compulsive Problems (OCP); Posttraumatic Stress Problems (PTSP); Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT; CBCL/6-18 and TRF only); and Positive Qualities (PQ; YSR only). |
|
|
|
These scales do not require new rating forms - they reflect new scoring of the existing forms. Also new is the addition of a Personal Strengths scale to the Adult Behavior Checklist and Adult Self-Report form. |

Shared Web-Link Output & Improved E-Unit Auditing |
|
Now you can choose to direct a profile and/or narrative to two recipients. Simply choose your recipients when you are ready to submit the key-entered form or electronic form request. |
|
|
For wider data sharing, users can now be organized into groups. An account can contain as many user groups as you wish. Specific members of a group may optionally be allowed to view output sent to any member of the group. |
|
|
E-units can be assigned to a specific user group or charged to the account at large. This allows you to track e-unit usage more closely. New reports are available to help you audit e-unit usage by individuals, by groups, and for the account as a whole. |
|

Respondents resume electronic form entries at the last screen where they were working |
|
Respondents using electronic forms can save their answers and return later to finish the form. Now they are automatically returned to the screen they were using when they clicked the Save button to exit the previous entry session. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
See a report of e-unit usage for one individual user, or as a summary report with details for all users |
|
Two new e-unit usage reports are now available from the "Account Reports" link on your Account Manager screen. As always, you can view overall e-unit usage for your entire account. A new report has been added that displays e-unit usage for all the users in your account with details for each user. A second report displays e-unit usage for an individual user. |
|
All three reports display a cross-tabulation of units used by form type and function (key entry, electronic forms, paper rating forms and scoring). |
|
|

|
|
Comments in on-line forms are more browser-friendly |
|
Previously, some on-line respondents' browsers may have incorrectly blocked the comment windows from appearing, treating them as "pop-ups". All comments for the CBCL, TRF, YSR and ASR have been redesigned to avoid this problem. Also, a box is checked next to items containing comments so that the user can identify at a glance which items have comments associated with them. |

Expiration period extended to 35 days for Web-Link output |
|
To provide more flexibility and convenience for our Web-Link customers, we have extended the expiration period to 35 days for profiles, narratives, electronic form entry reports, and data transfer files to download to ADM. The previous expiration period was 14 days. This change takes affect for all new electronic form requests and key-entry sessions occurring on June 3, 2006 or later. Output for electronic form requests created before June 3, 2006 and not yet completed and submitted will expire within 14 days. Any output currently displayed in your Profiles/Data Ready to Download list will still be subject to the 14 day expiration period. |
