Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) are well-positioned to identify children at risk for mental health problems and to facilitate access to evidence-based treatments. Implementation of standardized mental health screening and referral protocols may improve recognition of mental health needs and facilitate treatment engagement. Implementation strategies that improve teamwork may enhance implementation outcomes in team-based settings like CACs. In this study, CACs will implement the Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS) and be randomized to either team-focused implementation or standard implementation. The study aims are to evaluate the feasibility of team-focused implementation and the effect of the CPM-PTS on caregiver understanding of mental health needs and intentions to initiate treatment.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a pilot cluster randomized controlled hybrid Type II effectiveness-implementation trial in 4 rural Child Advocacy Centers. All CACs will implement the Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS), a mental health screening and referral protocol. CACs will be randomized to team-focused implementation (n = 2) or standard implementation (n = 2). The study is designed to evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of team-focused implementation strategies. It will also test the effect of the CPM-PTS on caregiver understanding of mental health needs and intentions to initiate treatment. Mixed methods will be used to evaluate the feasibility of team-focused implementation, test the effect of team strategies on teamwork, and assess implementation outcomes. Administrative data collected anonymously from caregivers will be used to test the effectiveness of the CPM-PTS.

Study Groups

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

Team-focused Implementation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Team-focused Implementation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CACs randomized to the experimental condition (n = 2) will participate in team-focused implementation. They will receive team development interventions (e.g., goal-setting exercise, training in communication skills) integrated with standard CPM-PTS training and technical assistance strategies.

Standard Implementation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Implementation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CACs randomized to the comparison condition (n = 2) will receive standard training and technical assistance strategies to support CPM-PTS implementation. They will receive CPM-PTS materials (e.g., manual, REDCap surveys, referral protocols), an interactive training, and six months of technical assistance.
