Abstract:
Despite the increasing sophistication and impressive results that we have seen in children’s mental health research in recent years—including in these pages—many among us have expressed concern that most research findings are not finding their way into clinicians’ mental health care practices (e.g., see the Surgeon General’s Mental Health Report,OTSG, 1999). Available evidence indicates that as clinicians, most of us usually do not apply research findings in our dayto- day clinical practices (Cohen et al., 1986; Morrow-Bradley & Elliott, 1986), even when given up-to-date and feasible practice guidelines and user-friendly tools.Keywords:
