Abstract

The prevailing emphasis on adopting evidence-based practices suggests that more focused training evaluations that capture factors in clinician decisions to use new techniques are needed. This includes relationships between postconference evaluations and subsequent adoption of training materials. We therefore collected training assessments at two time points from substance abuse treatment counselors who attended a training on dual diagnosis and another on therapeutic alliance as part of a state-sponsored conference. Customized evaluations were collected to assess counselor perceptions of training quality, relevance, and resources in relation to its use during the 6 months after the conference. Higher ratings for relevance of training concepts and materials to service the needs of clients, desire to have additional training, and level of program support were related to greater trial use during the follow-up period. Primary resource-related and procedural barriers cited by the counselors included lack of time and redundancy with existing practices.

  • Determinants of practice can be identified through formal assessment processes, theory or conceptual models, research literature, or informal approaches such as brainstorming.

    “While these determinants of practice could be identified through formal assessment processes, they could also be identified using theory or conceptual models e.g., [87], research literature e.g., [59,60,88-90], or more informal approaches such as brainstorming e.g., [55].”

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.
