Implication

Observational study examines therapist delivery of EBP strategies in children’s mental health care, suggesting factors for improving practices.

Key Points

  • This study aims to understand how therapists deliver evidence-based practice (EBP) strategies and the factors influencing this delivery.
  • Observational study involving 680 therapy sessions with youth conducted by 103 therapists in 14 agencies.
  • Sessions were audio recorded and rated by trained observers for EBP strategy delivery extensiveness.
  • Data analysis focused on factors influencing the extent of EBP technique and content strategy use.
  • Therapists utilized EBP techniques in the majority of sessions, with specific content strategies observed less frequently.
  • Higher EBP strategy extensiveness was associated with non-English sessions, prescribed session content, higher therapist self-efficacy, older client age, and therapists' cognitive behavioral orientation.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of training to enhance therapist self-efficacy and the delivery of EBPs.
