title: Facilitating factors in implementing four evidence-based practices: reports from addiction treatment staff.
abstract: In this Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded study (2009-2011), treatment staff (n = 178) from 330 federally funded U.S. addiction treatment programs provided data through semistructured telephone interviews about factors that facilitated their implementation of four evidence-based practices (EBPs). Such studies can assist the addiction field in improving EBP implementation and ultimately, client care.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  What factors were identified as facilitating implementation of the four EBPs? And, Do facilitating factors vary by EBP? Coders classified facilitating factors (n = 518) using a six-category schema. Results showed that although facilitating factors varied by EBP, organization-related factors dominated. Study implications and limitations are described.
