Investigating adherence promoters in evidence-based mental health interventions with children and adolescents.

The effectiveness of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) interventions in child and adolescent mental health is undermined by poor client adherence to treatment protocols. To counter this trend, adherence promoters, supplemental interventions to facilitate client adherence to treatment protocols, have evolved to increase adherence. This study investigates patterns of adherence promoting interventions employed in conjunction with RCT of interventions for child and adolescent mental health problems.
