Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Two different training methods will be compared with a waitlist group in this study. The first training method involves 13-sessions of tele-mentoring using an Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) approach. The second training method involves a self-directed approach in which providers will access similar content in any asynchronous format on a website.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* What is the proportion of agencies and providers who accept and participate in the clinical trial (Reach)?
* Do study groups differ on provider outcome measures of Effectiveness (clients screened/diagnosed), Adoption (provider change in knowledge, self-efficacy), Implementation (practice change, FMF Connect Pro Dashboard usage), and Maintenance of FASD-informed care practice change?
All mental health providers in the study will complete online assessments at study entry, 6 months, and 12 months.

FMF (Families Moving Forward) Connect Pro with ECHO implementation
Mental health providers are trained in FMF Connect Pro with ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes) tele-mentoring. FMF Connect Pro teaches mental health providers how to do routine screening of prenatal alcohol exposure, diagnose fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and support caregivers in using the FMF Connect app. The FMF Connect Pro Dashboard organizes intervention content for providers and includes tools for client progress monitoring. In this arm, providers receive training in FMF Connect Pro through 13 bi-weekly ECHO tele-mentoring sessions. Each ECHO session involves brief didactic presentations by Hub Team members on FASD-informed care principles and FMF Connect content and case-based discussions and recommendations by Spoke Sites.
FMF (Families Moving Forward) Connect Pro
FMF Connect Pro is a program supported by mental health providers to increase access to care for children (ages 3 to 12) with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and their families. FMF Connect Pro teaches and supports providers in 3 main activities:
1. Routine screening of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE)
2. Apply DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for "Neurodevelopmental Disorder Associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure (ND-PAE)"
3. Support caregivers using the FMF Connect app
FMF Connect Pro involves a Provider Dashboard with several main sections:
* Learning - includes content and additional resources to support providers in learning how to screen PAE, diagnose ND-PAE, and support families using the FMF Connect app.
* Tools and Resources - includes: screening, diagnostic, and documentation templates; app tip sheets; workbooks; supporting articles, websites, and other resources
* Clients - providers can track clients' progress using the FMF Connect app
ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes) implementation.
Mental health providers participate in a 13-session tele-mentoring training program using the ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes) approach. Each session involves a brief didactic presentation and case-based learning using de-identified cases shared by participants. The curriculum teaches providers how to do FMF Connect Pro.
FMF (Families Moving Forward) Connect Pro with Self-directed materials
Mental health providers are trained in FMF Connect Pro with self-directed materials. FMF Connect Pro teaches mental health providers how to do routine screening of prenatal alcohol exposure, diagnose fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and support caregivers in using the FMF Connect app. The FMF Connect Pro Dashboard organizes intervention content for providers and includes tools for client progress monitoring. In this arm, mental health providers will access similar didactic content as ECHO participants, but in an asynchronous format on the FMF Connect Pro Dashboard. This will include pre-recorded videos, activities, and additional resources for further learning.

Self-Directed Learning implementation.
Mental health providers complete 13 learning modules asynchronously on the FMF Connect Pro Dashboard. These modules include pre-recorded didactic content, brief exercises to assess learning, and additional resources. The curriculum teaches providers how to do FMF Connect Pro.
Waitlist Comparison Group
The waitlist comparison group will receive FMF Connect Pro via Self-directed materials after completing assessments at the 6-month timepoint.
