Mental health providers' perceptions of competency when working with autistic children with co‐occurring mental health diagnoses
Psychotherapy research has long focused on provider competence and treatment efficacy. Mental health providers treat diverse client populations with varying, complex needs. Though estimates vary, the rate of children diagnosed with autism and a co‐occurring psychiatric disorder is relatively high. While behavioral approaches to treatment have been established as the gold standard, talk‐based therapies are increasingly common, and a broader range …
Variation in Alanine Aminotransferase in Children with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Background: Pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health concern. Aminotransferase (ALT) is frequently used for screening and monitoring, but few studies have reported typical patterns of ALT elevation in children. Methods: TARGET-NASH is a real-world longitudinal observational cohort of patients with NAFLD receiving care across the United States. Analyses included children enrolled between 1 August 2016, and 12 Oc…
Group Supervision Attitudes
The focus of this study was to qualitatively evaluate worker's attitudes about clinical supervision. It is believed that poor attitudes toward clinical supervision can create barriers during supervision sessions. Fifty-one participants within a social services organization completed an open-ended questionnaire regarding their clinical supervision experiences. Results suggest four key areas which appear to be strong factors in workers' experiences…
Development of a Brief Abstinence Self-Efficacy Measure
This study compared the 40-item Alcohol Abstinence Self-Efficacy (AASE) scale with domains of confidence and temptation to a new 12-item version developed by the authors consisting of the same domains. There were 126 participants who completed the survey. Psychometric analysis demonstrated high reliability and validity consisting of high correlations between domains of confidence (α = .92) and temptation (α = .88) in the 40-item version of the sc…
Organizational and Clinical Implications of Integrating an Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention Within Non-Substance Abuse Serving Agencies
Although there have been efforts to advance evidenced-based practices into community-based organizations the limited successes of dissemination and poor implementation of efficacious treatments within these organizations are beginning to be documented. This article builds on the knowledge gained from organizational research and those internal structures (e.g., culture and climate), which possibly impede or enhance evidenced-based practice impleme…
The Struggle to Survive
This article provides information about a Youth Service Bureau's (YSB) experience in collaborating with court officials to expand services and a subsequent funding base. YSBs, like many other nonprofit human service agencies, have found that partnering with local governmental officials, especially judges, can enhance sustainability. Implications for strengthening partnerships between local nonprofits and county judges are discussed
