DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed study addresses a critical link between the mental health workforce crisis and mental health agency readiness to implement evidence-based practice (EBP) in mental health service organizations. The public health significance of this research lies in improving mental health agencies ability to effectively implement and sustain EBPs in real-world community settings, ultimately improving service effectiveness. Research suggests that effective leadership leads to improved organizational climate and that more positive climate is associated with positive staff work attitudes and service provider attitudes toward adopting EBP. States, agencies, and programs are increasingly working to implement EBPs and manager leadership skills are generally not tailored to maximize organizational readiness to implement EBPs. Indeed, the NIMH Division of Services and Intervention Research have identified, as a high priority, the objective of improving the implementation of evidence-based interventions into service settings. EBP implementation represents significant change to work techology and procedures and leadership impacts readiness for change. Yet there has little empirical work on organizational interventions to facilitate EBP implementation. One promising solution to address this critical workforce and public health issue lies in improving leadership in mental health service organizations. First-level leaders are those who supervise staff who interact directly with consumers at the front lines mental health service delivery. This aptly describes many mental health program managers who have administrative, management, and human resources functions, and are also responsible for clinical supervision and leading, implementing, and supervising change in practice including implementing EBPs. Effective leadership inspires and motivates followers and supports effective staff behaviors through reinforcement and exchanges. The proposed work builds on an empirically supported and theoretically sound approach to effective leadership in organizations in order to train first-level leaders to effectively implement EBP. Thus, while there are a number of concerns for the mental health workforce, the present application focuses on improving leadership in order improve mental health organizational readiness to effectively implement EBPs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed study seeks to develop a leadership intervention to improve leadership knowledge, skills, abilities, and performance of mental health program managers in order to improve workplace climate, and readiness for implementation of evidence-based practice. The study uses a collaborative approach involving program managers, clinicians, agency directors, and subject matter experts and an empirically validated framework to develop the intervention and after curriculum and intervention development, a randomized pilot trial will be conducted to examine key organizational and staff outcomes. This work is important because many efforts to implement evidence-based care fail and this project has the potential to improve the mental health workforce and outcomes for clients.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项拟议的研究解决了精神卫生人力危机和精神卫生机构准备在精神卫生服务组织实施循证实践（EBP）之间的关键联系。本研究的公共卫生意义在于提高精神卫生机构在现实社区环境中有效实施和维持EBP的能力，最终提高服务效率。研究表明，有效的领导导致改善组织气氛，更积极的气氛与积极的工作人员的工作态度和服务提供商的态度，采用EBP。各州、各机构和各项目越来越多地致力于实施EBP，而管理者的领导技能通常无法最大限度地提高组织实施EBP的准备程度。事实上，NIMH服务和干预研究司已经确定，作为一个高度优先事项，改善循证干预措施的实施到服务环境的目标。EBP的实施代表着工作技术和程序的重大变化，领导力影响着变革的准备程度。然而，很少有实证研究的组织干预措施，以促进EBP的实施。解决这一关键的劳动力和公共卫生问题的一个有希望的解决方案是改善精神卫生服务组织的领导能力。第一级领导是那些监督工作人员谁直接与消费者在第一线的心理健康服务提供互动。这恰当地描述了许多心理健康项目经理，他们具有行政，管理和人力资源职能，还负责临床监督和领导，实施和监督实践中的变化，包括实施EBP。有效的领导激励和激励追随者，并通过强化和交流支持有效的员工行为。拟议的工作建立在一个经验支持和理论上健全的方法，以有效的领导组织，以培训一级领导人，有效地实施EBP。因此，虽然对于精神卫生工作人员存在许多关注，但是本申请集中于改善领导，以便改善精神卫生组织准备以有效地实施EBP。公共卫生关系：拟议的研究旨在开发一种领导干预措施，以提高领导知识，技能，能力和精神卫生项目经理的绩效，以改善工作场所的气氛，并准备实施循证实践。该研究采用了一种涉及项目经理、临床医生、机构主任和主题专家的协作方法，以及一个经过经验验证的框架来制定干预措施，在课程和干预措施制定之后，将进行一项随机试点试验，以检查关键的组织和工作人员成果。这项工作很重要，因为许多实施循证护理的努力都失败了，这个项目有可能改善心理健康工作人员和客户的结果。
