Despite the benefits of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for client outcomes, social service systems have struggled to disseminate EBTs. Effective graduate-level training in EBTs is critical to increase use, given the strong effect of initial training on future practices. This study examined outcomes of a graduate-level training program in EBTs.…
