- Abstract
While facility-wide positive behavioral supports and interventions (FW-PBIS) has begun to be implemented within secure juvenile care settings, in a 24/7 model, there is a need to gather the perspectives of agency-stakeholders to better understand the feasibility and sustainability of FW-PBIS within these settings. To date, only two studies have been published that include perspectives of PBIS implementation within secure care. This study extends the current literature, and provides an overview specific to agency-level feedback on FW-PBIS implementation. Surveys were distributed to agency-level decision makers within two states implementing state-wide FW-PBIS for two or more years. Survey themes related to facilitators, barriers, systems, data, and practices, identified using the constant comparative method, are presented. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
