Despite the availability of psychosocial evidence-based practices (EBPs), treatment and outcomes for persons with mental disorders remain suboptimal. Replicating Effective Programs (REP), an effective implementation strategy, still resulted in less than half sites using EBP. The primary aim this cluster randomized trial is to determine, among not initially responding REP, effect adaptive strategies that begin External Facilitator (EF) or plus Internal (IF) on improved EBP use patient 12...
