It can especially a problem at the university counseling center, where there is increased demand for a variety of psychotherapy services at campus centers which can be underfunded. At these centers, a dropout represents an opportunity cost with impacts at the client, therapist, and administrative level where it is most prohibitive. While several predictive factors for dropout have been identified from previous research studies, the current study aims to examine potential predictors using a very large (n=23,144 clients in the final presented model), representative data-set gathered through a practice research network, the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH), for an in-depth analysis of a specific treatment setting. Using multiple logistic regression, previously empirically validated variables are examined along with clinically derived variables specific to the college counseling demographic, and predictive models for dropout models are presented using these variables available at intake.
