Abstract
This study examined predictors of engagement among 283 professionals from 34 agencies participating in three community-based learning collaboratives (CBLCs) on trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). Only 50.2% of participants completed the CBLC, primarily due to not attending consultation calls or completing training cases. While higher engagement was associated with being trauma-informed and using more of the TF-CBT components prior to the CBLC, most predictors were not significant, perhaps due to ceiling effects. Positive attitudes and high organizational support were not sufficient to ensure engagement. Future research using longitudinal measurement of a wider range of predictors is needed.
