Program Description: Improving Access to and Quality of Youth Mental Health Care: Promise, Process, and Challenge
Evidence-based practices are services guided by best practice, clinical expertise, characteristics of the patient population and empirical research. EBPs are broadly effective for diverse presenting problems for youth. However, most youth don’t have access to EBPs in their communities. Exposure is considered the active ingredient in CBT for anxious youth, yet is one of the least-often implemented skills by clinicians, and even if implemented, it is frequently not used with a high level of fidelity. I share data from a SMART trial with strategies that can be used to increase use of exposure, and also discuss strategies (e.g, treatment sequencing) that may enhance use of exposure. Finally, I share information about a strategy of integrated behavioral health that is increasing the access youth in Indiana have to evidence-based practices.
Level of Presentation: Intermediate
Target Audience: Clinician, Researcher
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will be able to:
describe two strategies that can be used to increase access to quality mental health care for youth.
summarize expected rates of response and remission in anxious and depressed youth.
describe reasons why clinicians may not consistently use exposure consistently with youth with anxiety disorders.
