1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

objectivesExamining therapists' experiences implementing evidence-based practices (EBPs) is fundamental to understanding how these interventions are perceived, adapted, and delivered in community settings. However, little is known about racial/ethnic variation in the experiences of therapists serving racial/ethnic minority youth and their families. Through an innovative QUAN → qual → QUAN mixed-methods approach, we examined differences in therapists' perceptions, adaptations performed, and client-engagement challenges in the largest county-operated department of mental health in the United States.

methodSurveys were completed by 743 therapists (Latinx [44%], White [34%], other ethnic minority [22%]), most of whom were female (88%), master's level (85%), and unlicensed (58%). A subset of therapists (n = 60) completed semistructured interviews.

resultsLatinx therapists reported more positive experiences implementing EBPs, making more adaptations to EBPs, and encountering fewer client-engagement challenges than therapists from other racial/ethnic groups. Qualitative analyses expanded on these results, revealing that Latinx therapists commonly described adapting EBPs in terms of language and culture to improve fit and promote client engagement. Informed by these qualitative themes, a refined statistical model revealed that the ability to deliver EBPs in languages other than English might have accounted for differences in therapist-reported EBP adaptations and client-engagement challenges.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that racial/ethnic minority therapists have positive experiences in implementing EBPs in community settings. In the case of Latinx therapists, bilingual/bicultural competence may facilitate adapting EBPs in ways that reduce perceptions of engagement challenges with racially/ethnically diverse clients.
