Evidence-based practice attitude scale for Latinx mental health professionals: a novel application of confirmatory factor analysis
The tailored EBPAS-15 demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in this Latinx sample of mental health professionals, suggesting that its factor structure and reliability may be useful in a Spanish-speaking and Caribbean sample of mental health professionals working across a variety of settings and contexts. Findings contribute to the scant literature on culturally and linguistically validated measures examining attitudes toward EBPs in Latin America.
