Perceived Competence in E-therapy Delivery: Evaluating its Influence in Predicting Clinician Use of E-therapy
Brief Research Description:
The purpose of this study is to test a new self-report measure designed to assess how mental health professionals and mental health professionals-in-training perceive their competency in delivering e-therapy. We are also investigating what predicts intentions to deliver e-therapy among mental health professionals and mental health professionals-in-training.
Participant Requirements:
You are eligible to participate in this study if you are a mental health professional-in-training in Canada, United States of America, or Australia or a mental health professional working in Canada, United States of America or Australia (e.g., MEd in Counselling, MA/PhD in Clinical Psychology, MSW, PsyD, etc.). You will be asked to complete an online questionnaire that will take approximately 15-20 minutes. This questionnaire will ask about your training experiences, perceived competence in delivering e-therapy, and attitudes toward e-therapy.
