We wanted to make sure you all know about the helpful BARC-10 score feature we have developed as part of GPRA survey.
The BARC-10 (Brief Assessment of Recovery Capital-10) is a validated questionnaire that assesses an individual’s recovery capital, or the characteristics and assets that a person develops on the recovery journey from a substance use disorder. These 10 questions (Part H of the GPRA) ask about 10 domains that contribute to an individual's recovery capital. The BARC-10 can be used to support an individual's recovery process through highlighting current areas of strength and where they would benefit from more resources/support. The BARC-10 Information Sheet, located under Supporting Materials on our Resources page (and linked here), has more examples of how to use this survey in a treatment and recovery setting.
Completing Section H of the GPRA survey automatically generates a BARC-10 Score, which ranges from 10-60. A score of 47 is associated with a higher chance of long-term remission. You can track this score over time to see change in a client's recovery capital.
When completing a GPRA in the online system, check the box highlighted below to receive a client's BARC-10 score included in an email to you. You can also add another staff member's email if desired, in the next question.
As always, please reach out to SORSupport@omni.org if you have any questions or concerns.
