Clinician attitudes towards adoption of evidence-based practice: a nationwide multiprofessional cross-sectional study of child and adolescent mental health services in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) is a priority to improve service delivery and outcomes.
