Predicting session-by-session outcomes with the Consultation Interaction Coding Scheme in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Severe Health Anxiety

This is the SPSS 24 dataset and the SPSS syntax used for the analysis. The syntax files provides guidance notes for each stage of analysis.<br>In a secondary analysis of trial data, two trained raters blind to outcome used audio-visual recordings and transcripts to rate each interaction in the first and second session of cognitive behaviour therapy amongst 50 high service utilisers with severe health anxiety. The Consultation Interaction Coding Scheme (CICS) was used to rate each interaction on the basis of patient activation – a person’s confidence and perceived ability to manage their own health. Sessions were also assessed using the observer-rated working alliance inventory (WAI-O). Multilevel modelling was used to estimate the predictive validity of CICS and WAI-O scores on wellbeing assessed session-by-session using the Outcome Rating Scale.<br>
