dc.description.abstractCollege students experiencing psychological distress are at unique risk for negative academic outcomes. The Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62; Locke et al., 2011) is a multidimensional symptom inventory designed for use in college counseling centers. However, the relationships between the CCAPS-62 and functional outcomes salient to the college environment have not been examined. This study examined the validity for the use of the CCAPS-62 in predicting grade point average (GPA) and dropout. Data from 296 freshmen attending initial appointments at a counseling center at a university in the Pacific Northwest and extant academic records was used in the analyses. Multiple linear and logistic regression was used to determine the associations between the CCAPS-62 subscales, GPA, and dropout from the university at the subsequent three academic years. Results show that Academic Distress subscale scores were predictive of all academic outcomes in the expected directions, Hostility subscale scores were associated with lower term GPA and dropout within two years, and Social Anxiety subscale scores were associated with higher term GPA and retention to the following academic year. Results demonstrated support for the instrument’s predictive validity in the identification of students at risk for academic difficulty.en_US
