Public Burden Statement. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this project is 0930-xxxx. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per respondent, per year, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer, One Choke Cherry Road, Room 8-1099, Rockville, Maryland 20857.
Increased efforts are being made by the U.S. Government to improve the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into routine health care. This survey is being conducted as part of a larger study funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to examine factors that influence an organization’s decision to adopt evidence-based practices.
Organizations differ in their characteristics, beliefs, and actions regarding the adoption of patient-centered behavioral health research into practice. We are interested in hearing from you regarding organizational practices in this area. Your participation in this survey is voluntary. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions. We are interested in what you think. If you are uncomfortable answering a question, you may skip that question. Your responses will be protected under the Federal Privacy Act. Your name and address will be kept in a separate file from your survey responses as a procedural safeguard. No one from your organization will see your answers.
To be completed by program director: This survey asks questions about how you see yourself as a program director or treatment supervisor, and how you see your program. This survey should take approximately 25-30 minutes to complete. Please use the next and back buttons on the bottom of each page to advance forward or go back. Every time you hit the next or back button, your progress is saved automatically. You do not have to complete your survey in one sitting. You can stop your survey and return to complete it at a later time by following the survey link. At the end of the survey you will be asked to submit it. Once it has been submitted, you cannot make any further changes.

Please check all the management strategies utilized in your program to support the use of evidence-based practices [YOU MAY SELECT MORE THAN ONE]:
Dedicated staff meetings
Dedicated supervision
Journal club
Offsite trainings
Onsite trainings
Web-based/online trainings

Organizational Characteristics: Please rate the strength of your agreement with each of the following statements:
|
Disagree Strongly |

Uncertain |

Agree Strongly |
Evidence-based practices seem overly complicated and hard to put into practice |
|
|
|
|
|
There are influential clinicians at my program who are definitely against evidence-based treatments |
|
|
|
|
|
It would take some very strong incentives, such as restricting our funding, before our program would use evidence-based practices |
|
|
|
|
|
The idea of evidence-based practices sounds good in “theory,” but in reality, it’s virtually impossible to scientifically test a phenomenon as complex as mental health treatment |
|
|
|
|
|
The treatments that we do at our program may not be “evidence-based,” but they work just as well, or better |
|
|
|
|
|
As long as they don’t conflict with treatments already in place at our program, I don’t see any problem with using a few procedures that are evidence-based |
|
|
|
|
|
The following questions ask about your feelings about using new types of therapy, interventions, or treatments. Manualized therapy, treatment, or intervention refers to any intervention that has specific guidelines and/or components that are outlined in a manual and/or that are to be followed in a structured or predetermined way.
Please indicate the extent to which you agree with each item.

The following questions refer to your program’s interest in and readiness to adopt a particular evidence-based practice, specifically Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI is a counseling approach that attempts to increase the patient’s/consumer’s awareness of the potential problems caused, consequences experienced, and risks faced as a result of the particular behavior in question. MI is a client-centered directive approach designed to enhance intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. The practice of MI is adaptive, not prescriptive, so it can be provided in a flexible manner to meet the specific needs of diverse populations and settings. Although the practice was initially developed to address problem drinking behavior, it has been more recently adapted for use with drug-addicted populations, psychiatric populations, and other aspects of behavioral health.
