The National Behavioral Intervention Team Association (NaBITA), the de facto guiding organization for college and university groups formed to assess and intervene with students of concern, developed the first industry standard series of twenty best practices for campus behavioral intervention teams (BITs) in 2018. The researcher designed this correlational quantitative study to examine how leaders of BITs at intermediate and undergraduate degree-granting institutions of higher education in New York State have implemented these standards of best practice. The researcher designed a survey instrument to collect data BIT leaders' level of understanding, perception of implementation, and actual implementation of the twenty NaBITA standards. In total, there were 156 behavioral intervention team leaders eligible to participate in the study, of which 73 responded to the anonymous survey, resulting in a total response rate of 47%. The results of the study indicate that, overall, BIT leaders have a high level of understanding regarding the twenty NaBITA standards, though smaller four-year institutions have lower levels of understanding than their larger counterparts. Additionally, subgroup factors such as affiliation, type, size, and residency of institutions impact both how BIT leaders perceive and operationalize their implementation of the standards. Finally, a correlational analysis of the actualization of the standards themselves revealed that BIT leaders who prioritize case management, team leadership, and end of semester and year reports yielded the most opportunity to successfully implement the other NaBITA standards. The results of this study suggest that federal and/or state policy may be beneficial in promoting a more equitable implementation of the standards through both legislative measures that codify these best practices into law as well as regulatory oversight to ensure good faith compliance. Additionally, BIT leaders and their institutions should focus on ensuring strong leadership for the team, providing a mechanism (human or technological) for case management, and engage in an ongoing cycle of assessment to allow their teams to best operationalize the NaBITA standards.
