The work items mainly involve administrative work (12.06 hours/week), direct client services(6.85 hours/week), documentation (4.55 hours/week), and so forth. There are significant agency differences in their time spending in group work, in-service training and administrative tasks. (b). Interns in community and hospital settings have contacts with a wider age range of clients. (c). In terms of clientsproblems reported, interns in college settings see more clients with developmental issues while interns in community settings see more clients with traumatic and crisis issues.
