Possible Uses of
the CDDQ
Initial screening of clients -

categories and directing them to relevant intervention options (e.g.,
face-to-face counseling, occupational library, relevant Internet sites; see example).
Diagnosis of a client's difficulties -
providing the face-to-face counselor with initial relevant data regarding
the focuses of the client's difficulties, so that the first counseling
session can begin with an analysis of the CDDQ's results (see example).
Needs Assessment - collecting
information about the types of difficulties that occur frequently in a
particular group (see
example).
Evaluating Interventions -
evaluating the effectiveness of career interventions (e.g., comparing
before / after situations; see example).
