What is the CORE-10?

CORE-10 is a short derivative of CORE-OM used to track change across sessions. It covers well-being, problems, functioning, and risk-related items at a high level. It is not a set of diagnosis subscales.

Development and clinical use

The CORE System was developed for routine evaluation in psychological therapies. CORE-10 was introduced as a briefer monitoring form. CORE System Trust oversees authorised use of some CORE products.

A focused client experience

Clients complete ten items, often repeatedly. Item-level review still matters, including any concerning risk-related response. Lirena does not provide urgent monitoring.

  • One question at a time with visible progress
  • Large keyboard-operable response choices
  • Previous, next, and answer-review steps
  • Clear confirmation that results go to the clinic
