Note.
= p < .05. Each dependent variable is a mean of the items that fit within that factor, measured on a continuum from 1 to 5 with 1 indicating rarely; 2, seldom; 3, sometimes; 4, often; and 5, most of the time. Higher scores indicate greater self-reported use of the set of techniques. Client primary diagnosis was dummy coded to indicate whether the primary diagnosis was an Externalizing Disorder (e.g., Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder), an Internalizing Disorder (e.g., anxiety and depressive disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) or Other Disorder (i.e., a primary disorder that was not clearly internalizing or externalizing, such as Adjustment Disorder). Child age was dummy coded to indicate whether the target client was in early childhood (i.e., ages 3-7), middle childhood (i.e., ages 8-12) or adolescence (i.e., ages 13 and older). Clinical experience = years in a clinician role. EBP Initiative Participation = years therapist has participated in system-wide training initiatives in evidence based practice.
