Online Training
Online training will provide web-based training primarily focused on family-based treatment and appropriate adaptations to the treatment model. Interested participants who completed 100% of the online training were randomized to consultation groups (expert only vs. expert + peer consultation).
Online training: Online 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. Interested participants who completed 100% of the live training were randomized to consultation groups (expert only vs. expert + peer consultation).
Live training: The live training will be delivered by two trainers over the course of two days via Zoom.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Post-training (measured at the time of planned completion, which will be 10 weeks from the start of web-based training, or on the second day of live training)Population: Data on training completion were available for all participants.
Training completion will be the number of participants who complete the full course of training.
Outcome measures

Online Training
n=56 Participants
Online training will provide web-based training primarily focused on family-based treatment and appropriate adaptations to the treatment model.
Online training: Online 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
n=29 Participants
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.
Live training: The live training will be delivered by two trainers over the course of two days via Zoom.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and post-training (measured immediately following completion of training)Population: Data on post-training knowledge were available for 70 participants (online: n = 50, live: n = 20). However, all participants were included in the analysis. We used multiple imputation to account for missingness.
The FBT Knowledge Assessment (FBT-KA) is an 28-item multiple-choice test that measures knowledge about FBT. Scores range from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating more knowledge.
