Description
Summary:	In this follow-up study the authors examine the impact of two projects that provided volunteer practitioners with extensive training in trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). The objective was to gain empirical data about clinicians' knowledge of the model and implementation 10-15 months after training. The 30 respondents achieved a mean knowledge score of 80% for eight hypothetical clinical vignettes, positive results for clients' attendance at initial appointments, parental involvement, and low dropout rates, but somewhat lower use of child and parent trauma work. Use of selected TF-CBT components was strong, with lowest rates for child and parent trauma narrative and modifying cognitions. Intentions to use the model were high. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
