What Really Matters in the Implementation of Evidence-based Practices in Community Mental Health? Insight and Recommendations from Experts, Providers, and Clients.

Perceptions of evidence-based practices (EBPs) and implementation are inherent drivers of implementation outcomes. Most studies on implementation perceptions have focused on direct service providers, but clients and EBP experts may offer additional meaningful information about implementing EBPs in community settings. EBP providers (n = 21), EBP experts (n = 12), and clients who received EBPs (n = 6) participated in focus groups to ascertain their perceptions of and experiences with EBP implementation, as part of a program evaluation.

Knowledge and Attitudes Toward an Artificial Intelligence-Based Fidelity Measurement in Community Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Supervision.

To capitalize on investments in evidence-based practices, technology is needed to scale up fidelity assessment and supervision. Stakeholder feedback may facilitate adoption of such tools. This evaluation gathered stakeholder feedback and preferences to explore whether it would be fundamentally feasible or possible to implement an automated fidelity-scoring supervision tool in community mental health settings.
