TeamTRACS Pilot (CTSI)

Implementation Clinical Trial

Official title: Improving Teamwork in Rural Child Advocacy Centers: A Hybrid-Effectiveness Implementation Trial of TeamTRACS

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In a previous research study, the investigators adapted an evidence-based team training intervention for healthcare settings (TeamSTEPPS) to fit the needs and context of Child Advocacy Center multidisciplinary teams. This study is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of the adapted training, TeamTRACS (Team Training in Roles, Awareness, Communication, and Support). This hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation study will test the effectiveness of TeamTRACS and pilot a self-guided approach to implementing TeamTRACS in low-resource settings.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is designed to test the effects of TeamTRACS on knowledge, skill use, and team functioning. It will also evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of a self-guided implementation approach that requires few resources and builds local capacity for change. Six rural Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) will be randomized to TeamTRACS (4 CACs) or a waitlist comparison (2 CACs). The long-term goal of this research is to create an effective team training that can be rapidly scaled up and disseminated to rural CACs nationwide. Supporting rural teams can improve team performance, strengthen the workforce, and ultimately improve service quality and outcomes for rural children who experience child abuse. ;
