Summary

Background: As the most common setting where youth access behavioral health services, the education sector frequently employs training and follow-up consultation as cornerstone implementation strategies to promote the uptake and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs), which are often insufficient to produce desired implementation outcomes (e.g., intervention fidelity) and changes in youth behavioral health outcomes (e.g., reduced externalizing behaviors). There is a need for theoretically-informed pre-implementation enhancement strategies (PIES) that increase the yield of training and follow-up consultation. Specifically, social-cognitive theory explicates principles to inform the design of strategy content and specific mechanisms of behavior change, such as intentions to implement (ITI), to target via a PIES that increase provider to more active implementation strategies. Methods: This triple-blind randomized controlled trial preliminarily examined the efficacy of a pragmatic PIES (SC-PIES) to improve the implementation of universal EBPs in the education sector. Participants were randomly assigned to the treatment (PIES) or active control condition (meeting with administrators). The investigators assessed participants' ITI, intervention fidelity, and youth behavioral health outcome before, immediately after, and six-week following treatment.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pre-implementation enhancement strategies (SC-PIES)

The SC-PIES was delivered to teachers as a one-hour professional development session immediately before receiving specific training about evidence-based student behavioral management practices and follow-up consultation. SC-PIES content was grounded in three social-cognitive principles: (a) growth mindset, (b) saying-is-believing, and (c) commitment and consistency.

OTHER

Sham comparator

Participants in the active control condition will meet with school administrators to talk about their work irrelevant to SC-PIES or student behaviors. The meeting lasted for the same duration as the SC-PIES at the same time as those in the treatment condition.
