Trainee perceptions of a group-based standardized patient training for challenging behavioral health scenarios in the United States

This project aimed to assess the acceptability and usefulness of a group-based SP training focused on challenging behavioral health scenarios that may prove more feasible to implement. A 6-item survey was developed by a psychology postdoctoral fellow, a psychologist, and a pediatrician to ensure the appropriateness of the content in terms of acceptability. Items 1–3 utilized a 6-point Likert-type scale to rate the level of agreement with each statement (1: strongly disagree to 6: strongly agree). Items 4–6 were open-ended.
