Abstract
ABSTRACTPurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors associated with the adoption of research-supported interventions (RSIs) in outpatient mental health clinics serving youth in order to inform implementation efforts and ultimately improve treatment outcomes. Method: This explanatory cross-sectional study includes secondary data from a clinical trial of an innovative group-based RSI in public mental health clinics for youth in New York City. Structural Equation Modeling examined the relationships between attitudes toward and beliefs of RSIs and uptake/use of RSIs in practice among providers in mental health settings. Results: As providers attitudes toward and beliefs about RSIs became more favorable, on average, RSIs were used more in practice in mental health settings serving youth. Conclusion: These findings indicate attitudes toward, and beliefs about innovation can be a precursor to the decision whether or not to use an innovative RSI in clinical practice in these settings. Implications and future directions are discussed.
