How community therapists describe adapting evidence-based practices in sessions for youth: Augmenting to improve fit and reach.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The study sought to (a) characterize the types and frequency of session-level adaptations made to multiple evidence-based practices (EBPs) and (b) identify therapist-, client-, and session-level predictors of adaptations. Within the community implementation of multiple EBPs, 103 community mental health therapists reported on 731 therapy sessions for 280 clients. Therapists indicated whether they adapted EBPs in specific sessions and described adaptations in open-ended responses. Responses were coded using the Augmenting and Reducing adaptations framework. Therapists reported making adaptations in 59% of sessions. Augmenting adaptations were reported more frequently than Reducing adaptations. Multilevel logistic regression analyses revealed that greater therapist openness to EBPs, younger child age, and presenting problems was associated with Augmenting adaptations. Child presenting problem of externalizing problems predicted fewer Reducing adaptations compared with internalizing problems. This study extends the growing research examining adaptations within the context of the system-driven implementation of multiple EBPs by applying the Augmenting and Reducing adaptation framework to the session-level.
