Practitioners' Perceptions of and Use of Triple P

Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2019 Oct;50(5):738-745. doi: 10.1007/s10578-019-00877-6.

Abstract

A challenge of large-scale adoptions of Triple P is low uptake among accredited practitioners. The purpose of this study was to understand facilitators to program use among 249 practitioners in seven counties involved in a large-scale adoption of Triple P. In an adjusted ordinal logistic regression including length of accreditation and county, the frequency with which practitioners used Triple P was higher among those who perceived a more positive parent response to Triple P services and among those practitioners who perceived Triple P to fit better within their typical services. Agency support was not associated with frequency of use.
