Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a greater understanding of the factors influencing the adoption of evidence-based interventions in outpatient mental health clinics serving youth. An improved understanding of these factors can potentially improve efforts to ensure effective adoption, implementation, and sustainment of evidence-based interventions, and thus improve treatment for youth in mental health settings. This explanatory cross-sectional study involves secondary data analysis of a longitudinal randomized control intervention trial. The SEM- based model that was tested supported the primary hypothesis that a more supportive organizational climate with greater readiness for change is more likely to improve the chances for the adoption of evidence-based interventions in outpatient mental health clinics serving youths.
