In a randomized controlled design with approximately 26 biweekly sessions over 12 months, the investigators propose to test the effectiveness of an ECHO-based intervention for improving the use of clozapine in people eligible for clozapine. The sessions will include: 1) active dissemination of knowledge and information by an expert "hub" followed by 2) clozapine case presentations and vignettes submitted by the "spokes". This intervention, Clozapine CHAMPION-ECHO (Center for Help and Assistance for Maryland Prescribers- Improving Outcomes Network using Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes, will be referred to as "CHAMPION" throughout.. To minimize ANC monitoring barriers and maximize recruitment, the investigators will provide Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared ANC point of care (POC) monitoring devices to all study sites, including those in the control condition. The investigators will enroll at least 300 prescribers and additional clinical team members (up to 300) from 60 outpatient mental health clinics (OMHCs) and other treatment sites; approximately half the OHMCs will be randomized to CHAMPION and half randomized to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU).

Primary | change in clozapine prescriptions using Medicaid claims data | The data outcome is new clozapine prescriptions by provider based on a variable linking provider ID to clozapine prescriptions. The outcome is the increase in the proportion of patients treated with clozapine for those in the care of prescribers randomized to the CHAMPION relative to the ETAU condition. | Baseline and endpoint changes after 12 month intervention | |
Primary | Change in prescriber knowledge of clozapine use | A 52 item Multiple Choice Questionnaire will be used to assess knowledge. The knowledge-based test questions will consist of 2 questions per 26 topic areas and will conform to best practices and guidelines for design of the questions. The total mean score will range from 0-52. The questions were developed and validated by the team. | Baseline and endpoint changes after 12 month intervention | |
Primary | Change in self-reported competence for clozapine use | We will use a mean score on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-100 mm). We will have one for overall competence and then one for each of the 26 topic areas. Overall, self report scores and the global self report scores will be used. | Baseline and endpoint changes after 12 month intervention |
