Abstract

There is growing recognition of the gap between research and practice in mental health settings, and community agencies now face significant pressure from multiple stakeholders to engage in evidence-based practices. Unfortunately, little is known about the barriers that exist among agencies involved in formal implementation efforts or their perceptions about how implementation experts can best support change. This study reports the results of a survey of 263 individuals across 32 agencies involved in a state-wide effort to increase access to an evidence-based trauma-focused treatment for children. Quantitative and qualitative results identified lack of time and secondary trauma as significant barriers to implementation and areas in which agencies desired consultation and support. Qualitative responses further suggested the importance of addressing client/structural barriers, staff turnover, and continued intervention training. Findings inform the development of a structured consultation process for community agencies focused on addressing the multiple barriers that can interfere with implementation of evidence-based treatment.
