Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current approaches to increasing the rates of clinician use of exposure therapy for anxiety disorders in community settings are limited. Research underscores the importance of addressing contextual variables to facilitate clinician use of evidence-based practices; however, no studies have identified the innovation-specific organizational capacity necessary to implement exposure therapy. Such work is critical to ensure that treatment-seeking individuals with anxiety receive effective care. METHODS: We used a two-step process to identify the innovation-specific organizational capacity necessary to deliver exposure. First, 24 leaders of specialty anxiety clinics in the United States (50% female, mean [M]age = 47.7 years) completed a survey about the organizational innovation-specific capacity (e.g., policies and procedures) they employ to support their providers in delivering exposure therapy. Second, 19 community clinicians (79% female, M age = 42.9 years) reported on the extent to which these characteristics were present in their settings. RESULTS: In Step 1, specialty clinic leaders unanimously endorsed six organizational characteristics as essential and five as important within the areas of organizational policies, supervisory support, and peer clinician support. These characteristics were present in more than 90% of specialty clinics. In Step 2, therapists in community clinics reported these characteristics were minimally present in their organizations. CONCLUSIONS: Specialty clinic leaders exhibited consensus on the innovation-specific organizational capacity necessary to implement exposure therapy. Identified characteristics were largely absent from community clinics. Developing fiscal, policy, or organizational strategies that enhance the organizational capacity within community settings may improve the patients' access to effective treatment for anxiety disorders.

  • Appropriate supervision and peer support are relevant measures to manage side effects.

    “Last but not least, appropriate supervision and peer support are relevant measures to manage side effects (Becker-Haimes et al., 2020).”

    From Effective—and Tolerable: Acceptance and Side Effects of Intensified Exposure for Anxiety Disorders (2023) · cites this paper as Becker-Haimes et al., 2020

    The Discussion (page not provided) recommends clinical supervision and colleagues helping one another troubleshoot challenges in delivering exposure therapy. It does not say these measures manage side effects, so the claimed purpose is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
