循证实践态度量表（EBPAS）是一个广泛使用的工具，但它还没有被改编和验证用于学校，最常见的设置，青年获得行为健康服务。本研究以学校行为健康顾问为研究对象，探讨了学校适应性行为健康评估量表的因素结构、心理测量学特性和效标关联效度。一个由在学校实施循证实践的专家组成的研究小组沿着最初的开发人员为学校环境改编了EBPAS。本研究以196名具有代表性的学校行为健康顾问为研究对象，通过一系列的验证性因素分析，对量表的信度和结构效度进行了评估。原始EBPAS因子结构得到证实，最终模型支持四个一阶因子，加载到二阶因子捕获对循证实践的一般态度。各分量表之间的相关性表明了独特的和共同的方差。EBPAS分数和顾问变量之间的相关性表现出不同的标准相关的有效性，与总分和要求和开放性分量表表现出最强的相关性。适应EBPAS表现良好时，管理的行为健康顾问在教育部门工作，支持在学校环境中评估态度的相关性。未来的研究和EBPAS在学校和其他服务部门的应用的潜在方向进行了讨论。本文的在线版本（10.1186/s13012-018-0804-z）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
The Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) is a widely used tool, but it has not been adapted and validated for use in schools, the most common setting where youth access behavioral health services. This study examined the factor structure, psychometric properties, and criterion-related validity of the school-adapted EBPAS in a sample of school-based behavioral health consultants. A research team comprised of experts in implementation of evidence-based practices in schools along with the original developer adapted the EBPAS for the school setting. The adapted instrument was administered to a representative sample (n = 196) of school-based behavioral health consultants to assess the reliability and structural validity via a series of confirmatory factor analyses. The original EBPAS factor structure was confirmed, with the final model supporting four first-order factors that load onto a second-order factor capturing general attitudes toward evidence-based practice. Correlations among the subscales indicated both unique and shared variance. Correlations between EBPAS scores and consultant variables demonstrated differential criterion-related validity, with the total score and the Requirements and Openness subscales demonstrating the strongest correlations. The adapted EBPAS performed well when administered to behavioral health consultants operating in the educator sector, supporting the relevance of assessing attitudes in school settings. Potential directions for future research and applications of the EBPAS in schools and other service sectors are discussed.
