Job assessments and the anticipated retention of behavioral health clinicians working in U.S. Health Professional Shortage Areas
How behavioral health clinicians view their jobs within U.S. mHPSAs is important to their anticipated retention. Based on study findings, to promote their retention practice administrators should provide fair and adequate compensation, foster work-life balance, permit them to deliver the services they wish to provide, and value them and their input and maintain good relationships with them.
