Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Current approaches to training therapists to conduct new treatments typically consist of a one or two day workshop delivered by an expert and provision of a manual for the therapy in question. Recent reviews have concluded that while workshops increase therapists' knowledge, their impact on skills may be short-lived without further consultation. Thus, investigators will supplement IPT training manuals and workshops by offering monthly consultation calls to participating therapists for 12 months following the workshop. The consultation calls are not designed to be case supervision per se. Rather, they are to be seen as extended training on IPT. This training condition is referred to as expert consultation.
The second training strategy, referred to as train-the-trainer, features expertise capacity building within each organization. There is a strong theoretical case for this implementation strategy as it is based on the principles of social cognitive theory, featuring active learning via modeling, feedback on performance, building self-efficacy, and supportive interactions among therapists developing IPT skills. This 'train-the-trainer' approach involves active learning which centers around development of an internal coach and champion, and has been recommended as the most effective means of changing actual therapist behaviors rather than just attitudes and self-reported proficiency. Roth et al. have made the case that effective implementation of evidence-based treatment in routine clinical services requires that the training approximate that which characterized the research context (e.g., continuing feedback and supervision and monitoring of treatment fidelity). Our train-the-trainer strategy offers a practical means of accomplishing this goal.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainer
One therapist from each counseling center randomized to this arm will be selected to become the trainer and will be trained to train their colleagues.
High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainer
Trainers in the high intensity condition will attend two separate workshops at Washington University in St. Louis designed to teach participants to conduct IPT and then to train IPT. Following participation in the first, two-day workshop, each trainer will return to their site and be encouraged to treat at least two cases with eating disorders or depression, audio recording each session.
Trainers will then return to Washington University to be trained in how to train their other staff members in IPT.
Low Intensity Strategy: Expert Consultation
The IPT expert from Washington University will travel to all counseling centers randomized to this condition and train all participating therapists on site and be available for monthly phone consultation for up to one year following training on site.
Low Intensity Strategy: Expert Consultation
Investigators will provide a two-day workshop on IPT at each site randomized to this condition to train therapists to use IPT for the treatment of Eating Disorders and depression.
