“…Three of the 5 group comparison studies included random assignment. Five of the 10 studies included a follow-up assessment, which varied in duration from 2 (Milne, Westerman, & Hanner, 2002) to 12 months (Kelly et al, 2000). Studies examined a variety of assessment domains (e.g., knowledge, attitudes, practice, satisfaction) by means of behavior observation and predominantly non-standardized, self-report methods.…”

“…Parsons and Reid (Type 2, 1995) found that supervisor feedback enhanced maintenance of staff members’ teaching skills. Milne, Westerman, and Hanner (Type 2, 2002) examined the utility of a relapse prevention module and found that in comparison to a group receiving standard training, the relapse prevention group demonstrated greater knowledge and generalization of training across behaviors and clients.…”

Evidence-based treatments (EBT) are underutilized in community settings, where consumers are often seen for treatment. Underutilization of EBTs may be related to a lack of empirically informed and supported training strategies. The goals of this review are to understand the state of the literature for training therapists in psychotherapy skills and to offer recommendations to improve research in this area. Results of this review of 55 studies evaluating six training methods indicate that multicomponent trainings have been studied most often and have most consistently demonstrated positive training outcomes relative to other training methods. Studies evaluating utility of reading, selfdirected trainings, and workshops have documented that these methods do not routinely produce positive outcomes. Workshop follow-ups help to sustain outcomes. Little is known about the impact of train-the-trainer methods. Methodological flaws and factors that may influence training outcome and future directions are also reviewed. Keywords therapist training; implementation; dissemination; psychosocial treatmentsThe hope that mental health problems can be successfully ameliorated is supported by the availability of an increasing number of psychosocial treatment approaches with established efficacy (e.g., Silverman & Hinshaw, 2008). For example, efficacious treatment programs have been reported to address developmental disorders, behavioral and emotional disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders, among others (e.g., Eyberg, Nelson, & Boggs, 2008;Scogin, Welsh, Hanson, Stump, & Coates, 2005). However, these approaches continue to be underutilized in community settings (Street, Niederehe, & Lebowitz, 2000) where millions of consumers receive mental health services Medicine, 3811 O'Hara Street -537 Bellefield Towers, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, 412-246-5897 (phone), 412-246-5341 (fax), HerschellAD@upmc.edu.

NIH Public Access Scope and Definitions of Evidence-Based TreatmentMore than 10 years ago, the American Psychological Associations' Division 12's (Clinical Psychology) Task Force on Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures (1995) offered recommendations to promote efforts to define, study and evaluate, teach, and disseminate EBTs (then labeled empirically validated treatments and renamed empirically supported treatments; Chambless et al., 1998;Chambless et al., 1996). These recommendations included increasing the availability of empirically supported interventions, enforcing g...

“…Given that participants also identified common misconceptions about SFBT as a barrier to use, it may also be worth considering explicitly including information on these topics within training. This could perhaps form part of a 'relapse' prevention section to the course, similar to that described by Milne, Westerman, and Hanner (2002).…”

Factors affecting skill transfer included being able to practise, peer and organizational support, and perceived conflicts between SFBT and work role. Whilst specific trained techniques were not consistently adopted, most workers changed the style of their interaction with clients in simple ways which they reported resulted in benefits including improved communication, collaboration, and increased feelings of control and self-efficacy for clients and workers. The findings suggest that in addition to peer and organizational support, trainees' perceptions of the fit of the training with their work role may be a key factor in determining transfer. Recommendations are made for developing training for non-therapists that focuses on helping change the style of their interactions rather than on learning to implement specific psychological therapy techniques.

“…The ex-trainee role in the post-training environment has also been shown to be a relevant predictor of the effectiveness of TD&E (e.g. Burke, 1997;Gist, Stevens & Bavetta, 1991;Hutchins & Burke, 2006;Latham & Heslin, 2003;Milne, Westerman & Hanner, 2002;Morin & Latham, 2000;Richman-Hirsch, 2001;Stevens & Gist, 1997;Wexley & Baldwin, 1986). A model of relapse prevention (Marx, 1982) may greatly help to describe the ex-trainees as promoters of the application of learning after training, who can develop strategies to apply, at work, what they have learned during training (Pilati & Borges-Andrade, 2005).…”

Evaluation of training programs has received special research attention. Testing a training effectiveness model with the trainee's characteristics and work environment factors as predictors is the goal of the present study. A survey with 652 ex-trainees in a banking institution was conducted. The results show a model with a good fit. Effect sizes of ex-trainee strategies for the transfer of learning, perception of the organization's support for this transfer and work commitment were significant predictors of training effectiveness. These findings suggest that ex-trainees who act proactively, in the post-training work environment, report more training effectiveness at work. They also suggest that the presence of transfer support and higher work commitment are related with more training effectiveness. The interaction between dispositional and contextual variables is relevant to the development of a theory of training effectiveness on work.
