The majority of evidence-based psychological treatments (EBTs) are packaged as manuals that provide guidance regarding when and how to deliver specific interventions (e.g., cognitive restructuring, exposure). However, clinical practice regularly necessitates flexibility in the timing and delivery of treatment strategies. Indeed, research on the dissemination and implementation of EBTs has highlighted the need to adapt these treatments to fit the needs of specific settings or patient populations. Adapting a treatment also means changing it from its original, evidence-based format, raising questions about how much or in which ways a treatment can be altered before it is no longer reflective of the original EBT. The purpose of this article is to discuss factors that contribute to the challenge of adapting EBTs, highlight considerations for clinicians with regard to modifying EBTs, and propose directions for future research that can provide guidelines for adapting EBTs in the future.

Introduction: Although American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people have high rates of abstinence from alcohol and other drugs, there also is evidence of greater rates of substance use disorders (SUDs) in Native communities. Health disparities associated with substance use are compounded by inadequate access to evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Lack of mental health providers is one notable barrier to EBT implementation in rural AI reservation communities.

Background: Successful implementation of evidence-based treatments (EBT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in primary care may address treatment access and quality gaps by providing care in novel and less stigmatized settings. Yet, PTSD treatments are largely unavailable in safety net primary care. We aimed to collect clinician stakeholder data on organizational, attitudinal, and contextual factors relevant to EBT implementation.

Effect-based methods (EBMs) using in vitro bioassays and well plate-based in vivo assays are recommended for water quality monitoring because they can capture the mixture effects of the many chemicals present in water. Many in vitro bioassays are highly sensitive, so an effect in a bioassay does not necessarily indicate poor chemical water quality. Consequently, effect-based trigger values (EBTs) have been introduced to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable chemical water quality and are required for the wider acceptance of EBMs by the water sector and regulatory bodies.

Introduction: Much of the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment efficacy and effectiveness research is lacking consensus on which scientifically rigorous approach to employ for culturally adapting evidence-based treatments (EBTs) and evidence-based preventions (EBPs) for SUDs among Latinx communities. The aim of this paper is to provide a scoping review of the literature on cultural adaptations of SUD treatment for Latinx communities.
Methods: We examined the justifications for cultural adaptations, processes of adaptations, cultural adaptations described, and efficacy and effectiveness of culturally adapted SUD interventions.
