Synopsis: To understand mental health administrators’ perspectives on evidence-based treatment implementation, we conducted semi-structured interviews with administrators of community mental health agencies prior to and after completing an initiative to implement Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of a multi-county effort to improve the quality of behavioral health care provided to publicly-insured individuals in Pennsylvania. To understand clinician experiences, self-report data were collected from clinicians at four time points on clinician knowledge, skill, satisfaction and treatment utilization.
