This study explored the attitudes of Licensed Masters of Social Workers (LCSWs) in the State of Texas toward evidence-based practice (EBP) and their perceptions of barriers to EBP utilization. A total of 1,728 LCSWs in Texas, were mailed the Evidence Based Practice Attitudes Scale (EBPAS) (Aarons, 2004), the BARRIERS Scale (Funk, Champagne, Wiese, & Tomquist,1991), a respondent's personal and workplace characteristics survey along with a letter requesting their opinions and experience related to EBP. Findings include that no one younger than 30 replied to the request; 36% report reading social work literature less than three times per year; the most frequently cited barriers to EBP are related to lack of time to read research and lack of time to implement new ideas in the work place. A MANOVA on EBPAS found a weak association between Solo/Group Private Practice participation and the combined dependent variables, F (4, 372) = 3.102, p = .016. Post hoc ANOVAs showed Solo/Group Private Practice means differed significantly from those not in Solo/Group Private Practice EBPAS Requirements subscale, F (1,392) = 12.682, p = .000. A MANOVA on BARRIERS found a weak association between Solo/Group Private Practice participation and the combined dependent variables, F (4,359) = 3.263, p = .012. Post hoc ANOVAs showed Means for those in Solo/Group Private Practice and those not in Solo/Group Private Practice were also significantly different on the BARRIERS Scale subscale for characteristics of the organization, F (1,402) = 42.107, p = .000. The means for those in high bureaucracy differed significantly from those not in high bureaucracy work settings on the BARRIERS Scale's characteristics of the organization subscale, F (1,409) = 16.076, p = .000. Those who are not in Solo/Group private practice and those who are in high bureaucracy structures and those who graduated after 1992 were more willing to try new therapies if required to do so by their supervisor, agency or the state. Those who are not in Solo/Group private practice, and those who are in high bureaucracy structures experience more barriers to using research in practice. Social work practice, policy and research implications are included.
