R help - Feb 2004 - Clinical significance as a package?

Hi,

Many thanks to those of you who responded to my last post about
Schafer's MI packages. I am really pleased to have access to them
through R which, I have to say, is an amazing piece of software. I am
only sorry that I haven't found it until now.

But, to my question. Does anyone know if there is a package developed
for evaluating clinical significance using Jacobson and Truax's, or
variations thereof, procedures?

Cheers

Not exactly but you might want to look at:
   http://www.psyctc.org/stats/R/CSC1.html
which works using R and CGIwithR and shows some of the logic of CSC.

I'd be very interested to help with doing something and know a bit 
about the issues and have proselytised for the idea a bit:
	Evans, C., Margison, F. & Barkham, M. (1998) The contribution of 
reliable and clinically significant change methods to evidence-based 
mental health. Evidence Based Mental Health, 1, 70-72.
