    Staff Turnover in Statewide Implementation of ACT: Relationship with ACT Fidelity and Other Team Characteristics
    (2010-09) Rollins, Angela L.; Salyers, Michelle P.; Tsai, Jack; Lydick, Jennifer M.
    Staff turnover on assertive community treatment (ACT) teams is a poorly understood phenomenon. This study examined annual turnover and fidelity data collected in a statewide implementation of ACT over a 5-year period. Mean annual staff turnover across all observations was 30.0%. Turnover was negatively correlated with overall fidelity at Year 1 and 3. The team approach fidelity item was negatively correlated with staff turnover at Year 3. For 13 teams with 3 years of follow-up data, turnover rates did not change over time. Most ACT staff turnover rates were comparable or better than other turnover rates reported in the mental health and substance abuse literature.
