Data from the Evidence-based Treatment
Survey were used to compare providers serving families
in American Indian and Alaska Native communities to
their counterparts in non-American Indian/Alaska Native
communities on provider characteristics and factors that
infl uence their decision to use evidence-based practices
(N = 467). The fi ndings suggest that providers affi liated
with American Indian/Alaska Native communities
are similar to their non-AI/AN community-affi liated
counterparts in terms of familiarity, knowledge and use
of evidence-based practices, and only diff er slightly on
the factors considered when deciding to use an evidencebased
practice with a child and family.
