| Clinician knowledge and utilization of empirically-supported treatments for maltreated children. |
| Summary: Examines the findings of a US survey into the recognition of empirically-supported treatments (ESTs) for abused children and their use by those working with them in clinical settings. Barriers to the spread of ESTs were identified as lack of time and financial resources, which limit training in evidence-based practice. Clinicians were not generally able to identify interventions supported by research and the development of cost-effective training and support (including web-based options) and the modification of training courses may improve awareness of ESTs. |
