Abstract
Objective: To describe the training process for teen online problem solving (TOPS) for acquired brain injury (ABI) in adolescence. We evaluated feedback from training participants and therapists delivering the intervention to assess facilitators and barriers to adoption into clinical practice.
Method: Therapist trainings took place between February 2020 and December 2021 and were primarily virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed 190 trainees and 27 active therapists regarding their experiences with the training process and with delivering the intervention to families, respectively. Descriptive statistics were reported for Likert scale items. Open-ended survey responses were summarized using inductive thematic analysis by two independent coders, and themes were compared by profession.
Results: The majority of trainees reported that they felt comfortable or very confident using the TOPS intervention with patients following the training. Trainees reported that they benefited from clinician-centered and applied training components. Active therapists identified facilitators to TOPS implementation including the family-based therapeutic approach, virtual format, and the broad generalizability of the problem-solving framework. Barriers to implementation included low family engagement, comorbid mental health or language difficulties, and external family stressors.
Conclusions: The implementation process for TOPS highlights the importance of and challenges to the dissemination of psychosocial interventions. As pediatric ABI remains an underserved population within behavioral health, future implementation work should address barriers in integrating evidence-based therapies within clinical practice.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
