| Abstract: Derived from decision theory, decision models are tools which guide the behavior of an individual and assist in the execution of efficient and effective actions in the context of problem solving. These tools are not meant to supplant independent decision making, rather, they function as a prompt to teach an individual or group how to approach problems. These models can be adapted to a variety of environments and have been used across a variety of fields including physical therapy, speech language pathology, medicine, and economics. However, behavior analysis is a field which has yet to utilize the full benefits of decision models despite the demonstrated benefits observed in other fields. The purpose of this paper presentation is to discuss how a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) can be used to ensure responsible and ethical supervisions of mentees in the field of behavior analysis. |
