Mixed‐Design Training Outcomes for Fellows Serving At‐Risk Youth Within Integrated Care Settings

Abstract

We used an exploratory mixed‐methods design with single‐case comparative analysis and analysis of covariance to evaluate the potential effectiveness of an interprofessional clinical training in a mental health counseling program. Initial findings indicate those engaging in specialized learning experiences that attended to critical aspects of youth behavioral health care experienced benefits with regard to their professional development, interprofessional socialization and valuing, and counseling self‐efficacy. Implications for the usefulness of trainings focused on interprofessional experiences are framed in relation to professional trends concerning integrated health care.

Reducing student anxiety using neurofeedback‐assisted mindfulness: A quasi‐experimental single‐case design

“…For this project, we implemented an A-B-A with follow-up quasi-experimental SCRD due to the goodness-of-fit with the time limitations placed on the project by the research site's academic calendar (Wood et al, 2021). Although A-B-A designs are acceptable for evaluating counseling interventions (Cox et al, 2015;Ray, 2015) and are often used in counseling research (Brubaker & La Guardia, 2020;Cox et al, 2015;Greenleaf et al, 2019;Ikonomopoulos et al, 2015;Meany-Walen et al, 2016;Ratanavivan & Ricard, 2018;Schomaker & Ricard, 2015;Smith et al, 2015;Swan et al, 2015;Swank et al, 2015), they are not without limitations. According to current standards (What Works Clearinghouse, 2022), to qualify as the most rigorous designs (i.e., experimental), SCRDs must contain at least three demonstrations of effect (i.e., A-B-A-B or multiple baseline).…”
