Many challenges exist for moving well-researched behavioural health care interventions into routine practice. The match between evidence based practices (EBP) and staff selected to deliver them has emerged as salient. The authors review the literature pertaining to practitioner selection as a core component of EBP implementation and present one state's findings from a national demonstration project in the U.S. studying the implementation of EBPs in the mental health system. Findings specific to practitioner characteristics and selection for the implementation of one EBP, Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT), designed to serve adults with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, are examined.

Since the year 2000, Ohio has seen the development of Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) model teams grow from 9 SAMHSA funded pilot sites, to 35 teams and an adaptation to the model implemented in seven of nine State Hospitals in 2005. While the IDDT model itself has been found to be effective in clinical trials, the factors influencing successful implementation of the evidence based practice model in community treatment settings are still being explored. This article offers an overview of what has been learned about successful methods that contribute to the development of IDDT in community settings.
