Perceptions of Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) Training Usefulness for Educational, Behavioral, and Allied Health Professionals: Attitudes Toward Evidence-Based Practices.

ABSTRACT: Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) is an evidence-informed approach to promote positive child-adult relationships in youth with behavior problems or traumatic stress. Implementing CARE in community settings may extend accessibility to evidence-based practices (EBP) for children in underserved areas. The present study examined health professionals' perceptions of CARE. Participants were 277 professionals from a statewide training initiative including early childhood educators (n = 178), allied health professionals (n = 48; speech, occupational, physical therapists), and behavioral health clinicians (n = 51) completing CARE training. Participants completed the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (Aarons (2004) Mental Health Services Research 6:61-74) (pre-training). Post-training
