Abstract
ABSTRACTDespite the benefits of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for client outcomes, social service systems have struggled to disseminate EBTs. Effective graduate-level training in EBTs is critical to increase use, given the strong effect of initial training on future practices. This study examined outcomes of a graduate-level training program in EBTs. Questionnaires while in the program and postgraduation were administered to 66 students. Regression analyses indicated an increase in postgraduation use occurred after the program incorporated strategies to support the use of specific EBTs. Consistent with the implementation literature, initial planning with field sites, behavioral rehearsal of specific practice skills, focusing on initiation of EBTs, and targeted support for use of specific practices appear to support graduates’ uptake of EBTs in mental health settings.
