One particular attempt is Aarons’s Evidence- Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS), which measures a worker’s attitudes toward adopting new treatments, interventions, and practices.

Results: Programs reported as having bad culture and climate yielded superior client outcomes, measured as discharge to a lower level of …
