One hundred and ninety-one clinicians completed a web-based questionnaire. The majority of respondents reported to have some training in aging issues, although they did not believe it prepared them well to work with older clients. Clinicians reported feeling comfortable working with older adults, yet they also agreed that special training could benefit their work. Knowledge scores were significantly correlated with interest in aging issues, perceived importance of training, perceived competence, and perceived effectiveness in treating older adults. Research and clinical implications are discussed.", pages = "28-47(20)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/uaft/2009/00000037/00000001/art00003" doi = "doi:10.1080/01926180701804600" }
