Version 3.5 is currently a "Professional Version" and not available for free download. Go here if you are interested in this programme which also assesses clinical change, computes odds ratios and a host of similar statistics AND has an in-depth help file. This help file explains the different statistics as well as how to use the programme.

The Reliable Change Generator was developed to help clinicians, researchers and students to assess whether any change apparent in a client (or anything/one for that matter) isn't just an artefact of measurement. This computer programme was developed to reduce the time it takes to assess reliable change and facilitate the increased use of this statistic in practice and research.

You can save files, open saved files and even generate a printed one page summary report to keep in your records.

This was developed following my experiences in teaching university psychology and medical students (many of whom hate statistics with a vengeance) and reading research papers where the authors have made some rather large leaps of faith in whether people "improved" or "worsened" over time. If I can give one piece of advice before you embark on measuring reliable change it is this: As with this programme, statistics are tools – not the end product.

You should download this file first as it is quite small. However, should you have problems and the programme is trying to access files you don't have on your computer then you can download this version which contains all the runtime support files that are needed (but is 3.16 MB large). Some extra files are also available here.
