Overview

Randomized trial assesses school mental health providers' attitudes toward evidence-based practice, highlighting demographic influences.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate how provider and school-level demographic characteristics influence school mental health providers' attitudes toward evidence-based practice and a specific intervention.
  • 183 school mental health providers recruited online presented with the Resilience Builder Program®.
  • Attitudes measured using the Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale – School Version and Implementation Potential Scale.
  • Demographic information analyzed using one-way ANOVAs and bivariate correlations.
  • Those with a bachelor's degree held more positive perceptions of the Resilience Builder Program than those with higher degrees (F(4,168) = 4.16, p = .003).
  • Women reported slightly more positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice than men (F(2,180) = 3.16, p = .045).
  • Those with a multicultural theoretical orientation and those from urban schools showed more positive beliefs about the intervention.
