Ninety-five percent of providers reported continued delivery of CBT-N since completing the training program, with 100% of responders intending to use CBT-N in the future. Among CBT-N users, treatment was perceived to reduce nightmare frequency and/or severity and improve other domains of functioning (i.e., sleep health, trauma symptoms, quality of life). A third of the CBT-N users denied any barriers to using CBT-N. Primary barriers to use were related to providers' facility inner setting (e.g., unable to accommodate required session length or frequency, veteran population not appropriate for CBT-N) or veteran factors (e.g., schedule constraints, patient decision in shared decision making). Results encourage ongoing CBT-N training initiatives within the VHA. Directly tracking veteran outcomes and identifying necessary modifications to adapt CBT-N within the constraints of the inner setting, while preserving treatment integrity, are warranted to ensure and promote intervention effectiveness.

This study conducted a qualitative implementation assessment of the contextual factors that have shaped the implementation of the state's mental health diversion policy. We recruited nine counties and conducted semistructured interviews with a total of 29 implementation partners. Qualitative coding was conducted to explore themes related to program implementation and these codes were analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. An early challenge to the implementation process was the need to create infrastructure to support diversion and ensure oversight of mental health evaluations, treatment plans, and client progress. Many counties started with a decentralized process but found that standardizing the process was an important facilitator (e.g., having a dedicated judge for diversion cases). Some of the key implementation barriers related to perceptions of prosecutors and concerns related to public safety; however, even defense attorneys must balance diversion with other options their clients have (e.g., taking a plea in exchange for a short sentence). Jurisdictions implementing new mental health diversion programs can draw on the implementation science and literature related to other programs, such as drug courts, to address these implementation barriers.

Utilizing a sample of 501 waiver requests for personnel diagnosed with mental health conditions, we compared waiver approval rates and career impacts between those evaluated by AMO-trained and nontrained providers. Results from a binary logic regression indicated that individuals assessed by AMO-trained providers were 2.1 times more likely to be granted waivers, thus reducing the chance of career disruption, as well as reducing operational costs and loss of mission-ready personnel. Additionally, AMOs facilitated a more seamless waiver process, avoiding unnecessary delays in obtaining a waiver. Findings suggest that AMO training significantly improves service delivery by enhancing providers' cultural competence, leading to more favorable outcomes for both individuals and commands, underscoring the need for specialized training in mental health services.

Participants were 18 SGMA, aged 13-19 years (<i>M</i> = 16.8; <i>SD</i> = 1.89); 61% were transgender or nonbinary; 61% plurisexual; and 78% White, non-Hispanic/Latine. Participants completed a semistructured interview, including questions about their experiences seeking mental health treatment for STB. Several themes emerged for negative treatment experiences (e.g., overemphasis on identity, invalidation), positive treatment experiences (e.g., affirmative work), barriers to treatment (e.g., shame, structural barriers), facilitators to treatment (e.g., family support), and recommendations to mental health professionals. The findings of this study provide insights into the varied STB treatment experiences of SGMA at risk for STB. These results underscore the importance of SGM-affirmative clinical practice and have significant implications for research and clinical interventions for SGMA. Additionally, our findings provide useful recommendations from SGMA to help guide mental health professionals in developing SGM-affirmative interventions.
