Background:
The effectiveness of a training programme targeting structural and therapy process strategies to enhance treatment attendance among families of conduct problem children was evaluated across three community mental health clinics.
Method:
Utilising a staggered multiple-baseline design, referrals prior to clinician training were compared to posttraining referrals (N = 221).
Results:
In comparison to service as usual, children and their families referred after the training initiative had significantly higher treatment attendance (66% vs. 83%) and 79% less likelihood of attrition, though findings were mixed for child's mental health.
Conclusions:
The findings provide initial support for the effectiveness of the clinician training programme in increasing treatment involvement.
