摘要

The recent proliferation of empirically-supported treatments(ESTs)into the private sector has led to more U.S.children and families receiving high quality treatments and improved treatment outcomes.However,there remains a significant dearth of evidence-based clinics,service providers,and training programs nationally,particularly in more remote communities.The Child&Family Institute(CFI)was founded in 2011 as the world’s first Clinical Dissemination Practice and training institute,comprising five core unifying stages and initiatives:(1)Dissemination Through Training,(2)Dissemination Through Community Partnership,(3)Dissemination Through Integrated Behavioral Health,(4)Dissemination Through Technology,and(5)Dissemination Through Multi-State,Multi-Site Program Development and Implementation,all with a common goal of raising awareness and leveraging local and national resources to disseminate and implement accessible,affordable,evidence-based care to children,families,and communities across the United States,and beyond.Perhaps most central and unique to CFI’s five initiatives,and its overall core values and mission,is the accessibility and affordability of services for each and every child.Preliminary feedback from patients,students,collaborators,local politicians and stakeholders,partner organizations,and the broader communities in the regions served has been enthusiastic,and several grant submissions and research partnerships are underway,to test the effectiveness of CFI programming and evidence-based treatments in“real-world”clinics nationwide.
