Outcomes Associated With Adapting a Research-Supported Treatment for Children With Behavior Disorders.
Purpose
The aims of this study are to describe an adaptation process of a research-supported treatment (RST) for children with oppositional defiant disorder and to examine provider attitudes toward RSTs prior to and following this process.


Method
Providers from 14 agencies in New York State delivered the adapted RST, following training. Attitudes toward RSTs were measured by the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale at baseline and posttest.


Results
Openness toward RSTs decreased from baseline to posttest. The majority of providers reported modifications to the structure and process of the intervention.


Discussion
To improve the uptake and usability of RSTs in practice, future research must further address adaptation processes and their relationships to attitudes toward RSTs.
