Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized controlled trial for mental health clinicians comparing two methods of training in family-based treatment (FBT) for restrictive eating disorders. Clinicians who treat youth and accept Medicaid insurance within a predetermined group of participating California counties will be randomized to receive either online training or live two-day training in FBT. Data will be collected on the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the training (online vs. live). Following training, a subset of clinicians may opt into group consultation for one year. Consultation groups will be kept separate by training condition. Data will also be collected from clinicians on the extent to which they perceive the treatment itself (i.e., FBT) as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for Medicaid-insured youth. In addition to implementation outcomes, de-identified clinical data will be collected from providers about their cases up to one year following the initial training.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Web-based training

Web-based training will provide online training primarily focused on family-based treatment and appropriate adaptations to the treatment model.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Web-based training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Web-based training will be divided into training modules that will be completed by participants over the course of 6-8 weeks. Training will include didactic training videos, knowledge checks, example sessions, and a library of resources.

Live training

Live training will include two days of expert-led live training (via zoom). The content of the training will be similar to that provided in web-based training, primarily focused on family-based treatment and appropriate adaptations to the treatment model.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Live training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The live training will be delivered by two trainers over the course of two days via Zoom.
