Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial for mental health clinicians comparing two methods of training in family-based treatment (FBT) for restrictive eating disorders.

Description:

This is a randomized controlled trial for mental health clinicians comparing two methods of training in family-based treatment (FBT) for restrictive eating disorders. Clinicians who treat youth and accept Medicaid insurance within a predetermined group of participating California counties will be randomized to receive either web-based training (WBT) or live two-day training in FBT. Data will be collected on the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the training (web-based vs. live). Following training, a subset of clinicians may opt into group consultation for one year. Consultation groups will be kept separate by training condition. Data will also be collected from clinicians on the extent to which they perceive the treatment itself (i.e., FBT) as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for Medicaid-insured youth. In addition to implementation outcomes, de-identified clinical data will be collected from providers about their cases up to one year following the initial training.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of participants who complete training	Training completion will be the number of participants who complete the full course of training.	Post-training (measured at the time of planned completion, which will be 10 weeks from the start of web-based training, or on the second day of live training)
Primary	Change in Family-Based Treatment Knowledge Assessment (FBT-KA) Score at Post-Training	The FBT Knowledge Assessment (FBT-KA) is an 18-item multiple-choice test that measures knowledge about FBT. Scores range from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating more knowledge. Change will be examined from baseline (pre-training) to post-training.	Baseline and post-training (measured immediately following completion of training)
Secondary	Number of participants who receive FBT consultation at 12 months	Providers will report on their receipt (yes/no) of FBT-specific consultation in the 12 months following completion of training.	12-month follow-up
