Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Implementation facilitation, a multifaceted, dynamic strategy of interactive problem-solving and support, improves adoption and fidelity of interventions. Implementation facilitation may be a promising strategy for CMHCs, but the resources and demands of traditional facilitation may present challenges for CMHCs. Motivated by global mental health frugal innovations work, the Principal Investigator piloted a modified facilitation approach for CMHCs, Implementation Coaching (hereafter "Coaching"), delivered to CMHCs participating in the Initiative. Coaching involved 4, group-based, virtual meetings with CMHC supervisors, who are frontline leaders in CMHCs. The investigator led coaching, supporting supervisors in developing workplans for CBT implementation in their CMHCs across 3 implementation phases. Coaching recommends a limited set of implementation strategies in each phase (e.g., Implementation phase: local technical assistance) that address known, prioritized determinants. Supervisors are supported in tailoring strategies for their CMHCs. In the pilot, CMHCs that received Coaching had clinicians that engaged in CBT delivery earlier and with more youth. Qualitative interviews suggested that supervisors were engaged and found Coaching acceptable and feasible. Based on the pilots' success, Project 2 will engage CMHC supervisors in: a) co-designing an optimized version of Coaching, and b) leading Coaching for other supervisors to optimize CBT implementation in their CMHCs.
In this exploratory research project, the Investigators' goal is to extend a pilot study that included the development and implementation of Implementation Coaching (hereafter "Coaching") within the Washington State EBP Initiative. In the pilot, the Coaching involved 4, group-based, virtual meetings with CMHC supervisors, who are frontline leaders in CMHCs. The results of the pilot indicated that Coaching was acceptable and feasible. In the current study, in collaboration with CMHC supervisors, investigators aim to optimize and test the effectiveness of Coaching for improving CBT fidelity and youth outcomes for four common conditions in CMHCs. The hypothesized mechanism through which Coaching operates is implementation climate or the degree to which an organization expects, supports, and rewards an innovation. Investigators expect that Coaching can be most effective in supporting CMHCs' high-quality EBP implementation if optimized with the practice community (supervisors) for the goals of limited resource use, fit with CMHC workflow, and wider reach. Coaching reach can be improved by moving beyond delivery by University-based personnel. In the Initiative, peer CMHC supervisors with CBT experience and expertise already co-lead CBT clinical training.
The study includes the following aims: Aim 1a) Collaborating with CMHCs, investigators will identify and convene purposively sampled groups of supervisors for diverse perspectives and demographics (e.g., ethnically diverse supervisors/clientele; urban/rural) during 2 one-day, in-person Ideation workshops; Aim 1b) Up to 150 clinicians will be recruited through the Initiative listserv and CBT+ training (for clinicians who recently completed their training) to participate in an online study in which clinicians will be randomized to read up to 6 vignettes that describe different strategies developed in the ideation phase and complete a survey with relevant subscale/s of implementation climate (EBP use is expected, supported and rewarded); Aim 2) Clinicians will be randomly assigned to receive standard implementation support or standard implementation support plus Coaching by trained supervisors.

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Aim 1b: The investigators will conduct an online experimental vignette study to gather preliminary evidence for how effectively different strategies emerging from Aim 1 impact our theorized mechanism (Implementation Climate-e.g., CBT use expected).
Aim 1 activities are not part of the clinical trial (which starts with Aim 2 activities).
Aim 2: The investigators will utilize a 2-arm randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioral problems for the group in the Implementation Coaching strategy optimized in Aim 1 and the Initiative's standard/as usual implementation. The groups will engage in the implementation support for 6 months and will complete a survey before and after the implementation support is terminated.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard/As Usual CBT+/EBP Initiative Implementation
All CMHCs involved in the CBT+/EBP Initiative receive virtual clinician training, CBT-phone consultation options over 6-months, access to a supervisor monthly call, listservs (one supervisor-focused), and a yearly advanced clinical training and supervisor training. The Initiative is a program that has been ongoing since 2009.
Supervisor-led Implementation Coaching
Implementation coaching, support, or facilitation includes the support provided to supervisors and their organizations for successfully delivering an evidence-based practice (EBP). Implementation support can include consultation, supervision, and coaching.
Supervisor-led Implementation Coaching
The structure of this arm will depend on Aim 1. However, the investigators imagine that peer supervisors leading implementation coaching, trained in Aim 1, will have 3-5 virtual meetings with supervisors and email communication. Meetings focus on orientation to the theory and rationale for Coaching and supervisors' role as frontline leaders to support EBP implementation. Meetings are likely over 6 months and focus on different implementation phases. Coaches will support supervisors in developing tailored workplans for implementation in their CMHCs. In each meeting, the coach will review the strategies in the workplan, provide examples of how the strategy could be specified, and then facilitate discussion among supervisors. The coach will support supervisors in building a tailored workplan for their CMHC. Supervisors in the Coaching condition receive Coaching plus standard Initiative Implementation support.
