Special recommendations for administering the BHS via telepractice


» Get general information about telepractice from Pearson Clinical Assessment.

The telepractice information below is intended to support professionals in making informed, well-reasoned decisions around remote assessment. This information is not intended to be comprehensive regarding all considerations for assessment via telepractice. It should not be interpreted as a requirement or recommendation to conduct assessment via telepractice.

Professionals should remain mindful to:

  • Follow professional best practice recommendations and respective ethical codes
  • Follow telepractice regulations and legal requirements from federal, state and local authorities, licensing boards, professional liability insurance providers, and payors
  • Develop competence with assessment via telepractice through activities such as practicing, studying, consulting with other professionals, and engaging in professional development.

Professionals should use their clinical judgment to determine if assessment via telepractice is appropriate for a particular examinee, referral question, and situation. There are circumstances where assessment via telepractice is not feasible and/or is contraindicated. Documentation of all considerations, procedures, and conclusions remains a professional responsibility.

Special recommendations for administering the BHS via telepractice.

Administering any of the Beck Scales in a telepractice context can be accomplished utilizing the On-Screen Administration (OSA) or Remote On-Screen Administration (R-OSA) function of Q-global® , Pearson’s secure online testing and scoring platform.. Details regarding the system and how it is used are provided on the Q-global product page.

Conducting a valid assessment in a telepractice modality requires an understanding of the interplay of a number of complex issues. In addition to the general information on our telepractice overview page noted above, professionals should address five themes (Eichstadt et al. 2013) when planning for administering the Beck Scales via telepractice: For more information on the five themes, please visit our general telepractice web page.


Theme-specific information for forced-choice assessment administrations and the BHS


1. Audio/visual environment

Bhs Beck Hopelessness Scale Manual

  • If you require video viewing during the administration, make sure the full face of the examinee is in view.
  • If you require audio interaction during the administration, make sure the audio is working as expected. Test the audio prior to the administration either through the examinee’s speakers or headset and ensure a high-quality audio environment is present.
  • Make sure the examinee's environment is free from distractions.


2. Examiner factors

  • Practice the mechanics and workflow of assigning, starting, and completing the assessment using the On-Screen Administration capabilities of Q-global (or Remote On-Screen if being used) before you go through this process with an examinee so that you are familiar with the administration procedures.
  • If you are asking the examinee to complete the assessment during a telepractice session while you are observing virtually, please note the audio/visual environment information above, and ensure that the session is set up appropriately to elicit a valid response from the examinee. Be sure to also ensure that the test taking session mimics an in-person session as closely as possible.


3. Examinee factors

  • Please ensure that a remote assessment administration is appropriate for the client and for the purpose of the assessment.
  • Ensure that examinee is able and prepared to appropriately engage in the testing session and that they are well rested, can adequately attend to the test, and are ready to fully participate in the test session.
  • There may be some administrations where an examinee headset is not appropriate or feasible. In these instances, make sure you have a web camera with an embedded microphone or a standalone microphone with the volume turned up to a comfortable level.


4. Test/test materials

  • Ask the examinee to close all other applications on the computer, laptop, or other device for faster administration performance.
  • Monitor the test session and the examinee's interaction with the test materials to ensure confidentiality and test session integrity as appropriate

5. Other/miscellaneous

  • If you are administering the test using the On-Screen Administration (OSA) function of Q-global while the client is in a remote location, it may be advisable that an e-Helper (para-professional) is onsite with the client to assist with logging in and starting the assessment if the examinee's computer is controlling the session, or to ensure that the appropriate client response is captured if the assessment is being administered via screen sharing/video-conferencing capabilities.
  • The e-Helper should also be trained in and able to provide emergency assistance should it be required during the test session for any reason, including if the examinee should show any indication of personal distress during the assessment.
  • Always state in your report that the test was administered via telepractice, and briefly describe the method of telepractice used. For example, 'The BHS was administered by remote on-screen administration through the Q-global system, and the examiner's assistant monitored the administration using a live video connection'.
  • Make a clinical judgment, similar to a face-to-face session, whether or not you are able to gather the examinee's best performance. Report your clinical decision(s) in your report and comment on the factors that led to this decision and your reporting or lack of reporting of the scores. For example, 'The remote testing environment appeared free of distractions, adequate rapport was established with the examinee via video and s/he appeared appropriately engaged in the task throughout the session. No significant technological problems were noted during administration, and the results are considered to be a valid estimate of the examinee's skills/abilities'
