نبذة مختصرة : Effective dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for autism have proven challenging. The California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) is a statewide initiative designed to build capacity for autism EBPs within community service agencies. The present study aimed to examine resources requested by CAPTAIN members to support their dissemination and implementation efforts in order to inform future implementation research and practice. In an annual survey, CAPTAIN members identified resources needed for their dissemination and implementation work. Using the template analysis method, we analyzed written responses. Overarching themes included members wanting more: ready-made resources for training and coaching, inclusive resources, effective methods of obtaining and sharing resources, opportunities to connect and learn from other members, empirical information about EBPs, and opportunities for professional development and support. Providers with direct experience offer useful perspectives as members of the EBP dissemination and implementation delivery system that can be valuable to both the translation and support systems and can inform implementation science more broadly.
