Download Handouts: 59kb pdf

Presenting: Heather Ringeisen

All Authors for this paper: Heather Ringeisen; Leyla Stambaugh; Barbara Burns; E. Wayne Holden

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: This presentation will describe the development and pilot testing of an instrument to assess state capacity for the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in childrenÕs mental health. We will present findings from an interdisciplinary literature review that identifies core constructs at the macro-administrative level associated with the successful implementation of EBPs. The presentation will describe a conceptual framework to support the measurement of state infrastructure across several domains including organizational readiness, implementation processes, and sustainability planning. This presentation expands upon existing measurement and conceptual efforts that characterize local organizational and/or provider capacity for EBP implementation through its focus upon state administration.

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: The Evidence Based Training and Dissemination Center (EBTDC) is an initiative through the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) to train front-line clinicians in OMH licensed clinics in the use of evidence-based treatments for youth. EBTDC involved an intensive three-day training of community clinicians in the use of manualized cognitive-behavioral treatments for depression and trauma, with ongoing year-long consultation on the implementation of these treatments. One of the primary goals of the EBTDC is to evaluate the dissemination of the initiative and consequently improve the quality of routine care in outpatient clinics for youth with trauma symptoms or depression.

Presenting: Jeanne Rivard

All Authors for this paper: Jeanne Rivard

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: Findings will be presented of a study of State Mental Health Agencies that examined changes in the use of evidence-based practices since a prior survey administration in 2004, and strategies used to disseminate evidence-based practices (EBP) to other regions and statewide. Results will also be described of analyses conducted to compare evidence-based and promising practices implemented during each period (by type, number, and scope), and to explore associations between the scale of EBP implementation and type of strategies used to expand uptake.

The first presentation will describe a measurement development effort targeting State Mental Health Representatives for Children and Youth. The second presentation summarizes a survey of State Mental Health Agencies to examine changes in their use of evidence-based and promising practices between 2004 and 2006.
