Despite the efficacy of exposure for childhood anxiety disorders (CADs), dissemination has been unsuccessful. The current study examined community-therapist response to a brief (90-minutes) training in technology-assisted exposure therapy for CADs. The results indicated that therapists found the training in the therapy approach and technology acceptable, despite endorsing mainly non-exposure-based practice prior to the training. Training also increased positive beliefs about exposure, t (23) = 4.32, p < .000, that persisted 6 months later, t (23) = 4.56, p < .000. In addition, the number of therapists reporting an intention to implement exposure increased substantially from baseline (41.7%) to post-training (83.3%), with many therapists (70.8%) reporting use of exposure within the 6 months following training. However, automatically recorded data indicated little use of the technology. Results suggest that a dissemination message focusing on exposure is acceptable and has the potential to increase the use of this central treatment component.

尽管暴露对儿童焦虑症 (CAD) 有效，但传播一直不成功。目前的研究检查了社区治疗师对 CAD 技术辅助暴露治疗的简短（90 分钟）培训的反应。结果表明，治疗师发现治疗方法和技术方面的培训是可以接受的，尽管在培训之前主要认可基于非暴露的实践。培训还增加了对暴露的积极信念，t (23) = 4.32, p  < .000，持续 6 个月后，t (23) = 4.56, p < .000。此外，从基线 (41.7%) 到培训后 (83.3%) 报告有意实施暴露的治疗师数量大幅增加，许多治疗师 (70.8%) 报告在培训后的 6 个月内使用暴露。然而，自动记录的数据表明该技术几乎没有使用。结果表明，以暴露为重点的传播信息是可以接受的，并且有可能增加这种集中治疗成分的使用。
