Abstract

ABSTRACT MSW students (n = 202) from four U.S. universities participated in a Behavioral Health Workforce Education andTraining program focused on integrated care with children and youth. Data wereaggregated across programs to assess for improved scores on the AttitudesTowards Healthcare Teams Scale (ATHCTS). Students who identified as Whitereported significantly higher ATHCT scores at pre-test compared to students whoidentified as a racial or ethnic minority group. However, upon completion ofthe program, there were no statistically significant difference in post-testscores between White and racial and ethnic minority students. These findingssuggest that specialized coursework and field experiences in integrated carecan help erase any potential racial gaps in attitudes towards working ininterprofessional teams.
