Examining therapists' experiences implementing evidence-based practices (EBPs) is fundamental to understanding how these interventions are perceived, adapted, and delivered in community settings. However, little is known about racial/ethnic variation in the experiences of therapists serving racial/ethnic minority youth and their families. Through an innovative QUAN → qual → QUAN mixed-methods approach, we examined differences in therapists' perceptions, adaptations performed, and client-engagement challenges in the largest county-operated department of mental health in the United States.
