Factors Associated with Clinician Participation in TF-CBT Post-workshop Training Components

Adm Policy Ment Health. 2017 Jul;44(4):524-533. doi: 10.1007/s10488-015-0677-2.

Abstract

For proficiency in an evidence-based treatment (EBT), mental health professionals (MHPs) need training activities extending beyond a one-time workshop. Using data from 178 MHPs participating in a statewide TF-CBT dissemination project, we used five variables assessed at the workshop, via multiple and logistic regression, to predict participation in three post-workshop training components. Perceived in-workshop learning and client-treatment mismatch were predictive of consultation call participation and case presentation respectively. Attitudes toward EBTs were predictive of trauma assessment utilization, although only with non-call participants removed from analysis. Productivity requirements and confidence in TF-CBT skills were not associated with participation in post-workshop activities.
