Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The implementation of all the CHIMPS interventions refers to and builds on a theoretical model developed by researchers from Australia and Norway, adapted to the German care system setting including adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry.
In ci-CHIMPS we aim to determine if three implementation interventions are helpful in improving the clinical implementation of the CHIMPS-NET interventions. Additionally, we want to identify factors hindering or promoting implementation processes. In order to monitor the impact of the three implementation interventions we will use the translated version of the "Family Focused Mental Health Practice Questionnaire (FFMHPQ)" (Laser et al., 2019, in prep.) and the translated version of the "Implementation Components Questionnaire (ICQ)" (Laser, Skogøy, Maybery \& Wiegand-Grefe, 2019. in prep). The introduction of these questionnaires in Germany has not yet been reported.

clinical centers that receive implementation support
These clinical centers receive support during the implementation of the CHIMPS-intervention. There are three different implementation interventions.
Optimal pathways to care
The first implementation measure focuses on optimal ways of caring for mentally ill patients who are also parents with children living in the household. The main goals of this intervention are the specific information of the referring physician, the indicated referral of mentally ill parents and the consideration of underage children living in the household in the inpatient referral. The two main components are the evaluation of the attitudes of the medical and psychotherapeutic referrers towards the target group and the intervention as well as the development and implementation of an optimal care pathway. The optimization of the allocation is organized by Silke Pawils (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf).
Education and training program for the professionals
The second implementation intervention concerns the improvement of the professionals' attitudes, knowledge and skills. The two main components here being the assessment of the current state in all institutions within the clinical centers and the development and implementation of an education and training program. The employees of the randomized clinical centers in the intervention group will get a three-hour training. This intervention is organized by Svenja Taubner (University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany).
Systematic screening
The third implementation intervention includes a systematic screening process to improve detection of mentally ill parents with affected children. Employees of the clinical centers fill out two short questionnaires with the parents. This intervention project is organized by Sibylle M. Winter (Charité, Berlin, Germany).
No Intervention: Treatment as usual
These clinical centers will be the control group and will not get a specific implementation support during the implementation of CHIMPS.
