Background:

Traditional health professions workshops often assess participant reaction and knowledge, not on-the-job behavior change.
Evaluating the long-term impact of training on professional practice remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the utilization of behavior management procedures by rehabilitation professionals following training workshops.
To identify factors influencing the adoption and frequency of behavior management technique use.

Main Methods:

A survey was conducted among rehabilitation professionals across seven states.
Participants reported on their use of specific behavior management procedures after attending three-day training workshops.
