Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the LGBTQ-affirmative CBT training increases LGBTQ and CBT knowledge, clinical skills, and cultural humility among a sample of MHPs from LGBTQ community centers in the U.S. The proposed prospective study will follow a 2-arm waitlist randomized-controlled trial design where one group of MHPs will be randomized to receive the intervention training (i.e., the immediate training group) in LGBTQ-affirmative CBT, and the second group of MHPs will be randomized to a waitlist control group.
The proposed mixed-methods study will consist of predominantly quantitative self-report measures, as well as a qualitative self-assessment of participants' LGBTQ-affirmative CBT clinical skills. All study measures will be administered online at three time points-- baseline, 4-months post-baseline, and 8-months post-baseline (changed prior to randomization from 3-months and 6-months, respectively)-- via the secure Yale Qualtrics survey software.
