Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to partner with the North Carolina Child Treatment Program (NC CTP) and the SAMHSA-funded National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) to develop and pilot the Collaborative Organizational Approach to Selecting and Tailoring Implementation Strategies (COAST-IS). The COAST-IS intervention will involve coaching organizational leaders and therapists to use Intervention Mapping to select and tailor strategies. Intervention Mapping is a multistep process that is inherently ecological and incorporates theory, evidence, and stakeholder perspectives to ensure that intervention components effectively address key determinants of change. After collaboratively developing COAST-IS in Year 1, the investigators will conduct a randomized pilot trial of the intervention within an NC CTP learning collaborative, randomly assigning eight organizations to the learning collaborative-only condition or the learning collaborative plus COAST-IS condition. Participants will include organizational leaders (e.g., CEOs/Directors, Clinical Directors, Supervisors) and therapists (e.g., Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors). The investigators will evaluate COAST-IS in the following aims: 1) to assess the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and utility of COAST-IS; 2) to evaluate organizational stakeholders' fidelity to the core elements of Intervention Mapping; and 3) to demonstrate the feasibility of testing COAST-IS in a larger effectiveness trial. This work is significant because it will yield a systematic method that integrates theory, evidence, and stakeholder perspectives to improve the effectiveness and precision of implementation strategies. Ultimately, COAST-IS may have the potential to improve implementation and sustainment of a wide-range of EBPs in mental health and other health sectors.

Intervention

Other:
COAST-IS
COAST-IS has been designed to equip organizations with the knowledge, motivation, and skill needed to thoughtfully match implementation strategies to identified determinants by applying intervention mapping. The COAST-IS intervention will include four different modes of delivery: 1) dissemination of educational materials; 2) five web-based interactive education sessions on the need for tailoring implementation strategies and the application of intervention mapping; 3) site visits to discuss change objectives necessary to successfully implement trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy; and 4) organizational coaching related to using an intervention mapping approach.
TF-CBT Learning Collaborative
The learning collaborative model was adapted from the Breakthrough Series Collaborative model. Leadership of the collaboratives includes experts in evidence-based practices, implementation, and quality improvement. Main components include: 1) three face-to-face learning sessions (2-days each) that provide clinical training; 2) post-learning session action periods structured to facilitate therapists' application of learned skills; 3) a secure website to facilitate faculty-to-participant and peer-to-peer learning and document use of quality improvement methods; 4) fidelity monitoring and coaching; 5) a senior leader track supporting organizational change; 6) monthly outcomes monitoring; and 7) sustainability planning.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change (ORIC) The 12 items comprising the ORIC measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure assesses whether members of an organization, collectively, are (1) committed to implementing a new practice or process and (2) believe that they have the capacity to do so. For these two subscales and the overall ORIC scale, organizations receive scores between 1 and 5 (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Evidence-based Practice Attitudes Scales (EBPAS) The 15 items comprising the EBPAS measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure articulates practitioner willingness to adopt new interventions as a function of four factors: (1) appeal of the new intervention, (2) organizational requirements, (3) practitioner openness, and (4) divergence (perceived incompatibility with practice or limited usefulness of research-based interventions). For these four subscales and the overall EBPAS scale, organizations receive scores between 0 and 4 (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Inner Setting of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research This questionnaire assesses factors related to the inner setting of organizations that are believed to be important in influencing the implementation of interventions. Thirty items from this questionnaire will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. These items measure three factors: (1) culture, (2) learning climate, and (3) available resources. Organizations receive scores between 1 and 5 for each of these factors (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Scale for Implementation Climate The six items comprising this measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure assesses whether organizations are primed for implementation via three factors: the extent to which employees believe implementation is (1) expected, (2) supported, and (3) rewarded. For these three subscales and the overall ICS scale, organizations receive scores between 1 and 5 (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Psychological Safety Scale (PSS) The seven items comprising the PSS measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure assesses how much the environment of a work team makes members feel they can safely engage in learning behavior (e.g., seeking feedback, discussing errors, asking questions, experimenting) without great risk of losing face. Organizations receive a score between 1 and 7 for this scale (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Implementation Leadership Scale (ILS) The 12 items comprising the ILS measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure assesses whether leadership is proactive, knowledgeable, supportive, and perseverant based on specific actions leaders take in promoting implementation. For these four subscales and the overall ILS scale, organizations receive scores between 0 and 4 (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Implementation Citizenship Behavior Scale (ICBS) The six items comprising the ICBS measure will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. This measure assesses two critical employee behaviors that go beyond what is required to support the implementation of evidence-based practices: (1) helping their peers with implementation-related activities and (2) keeping informed about issues related to evidence-based practice and implementation efforts. For these two subscales and the overall ICBS scale, organizations receive scores between 0 and 4 (higher scores are considered more positive). Baseline, 1 year
Other Prior Experiences with Implementation This questionnaire assesses employees' experiences and judgments toward previous innovation implementation, which may affect their implementation behavior regarding future innovations. Sixteen items from this questionnaire will be included in an organizational barrier assessment that will be administered to all enrolled participants and will guide implementation support provided through COAST-IS. These items measure four subscales: (1) perceived intensity of previous innovations, (2) perceived failure of previous innovations, (3) innovation-targeted helplessness, and (4) innovation fatigue. Organizations receive scores between 1 and 5 for each of these subscales (higher scores are considered more negative). Baseline, 1 year
Primary Evaluate the acceptability of COAST-IS This will be assessed with the 4-item measure: Acceptability of Intervention. This measure is rated on a 5 point scale (completely disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, completely agree), with completely disagree having a score of 1 and completely agree having a score of 5. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability. 1 year
Primary Evaluate the appropriateness of COAST-IS This will be assessed with the 4-item measure: Intervention Appropriateness.This measure is rated on a 5 point scale (completely disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, completely agree), with completely disagree having a score of 1 and completely agree having a score of 5. Higher scores indicate greater appropriateness. 1 year
Primary Evaluate the feasibility of COAST-IS This will be assessed with the 4-item measure: Feasibility of Intervention.This measure is rated on a 5 point scale (completely disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, completely agree), with completely disagree having a score of 1 and completely agree having a score of 5. Higher scores indicate greater feasibility. 1 year
Primary Evaluate the perceived utility of COAST-IS Semi-structured interview will focus on the perceived utility of COAST-IS. 1 year
Primary Fidelity to COAST-IS Fidelity to COAST-IS will be measured with a fidelity assessment tool adapted from the Stages of Implementation Completion measure, which assesses organizations' progression through eight stages of implementation (engagement through competency [conceptualized as the start of sustainment]). 1 year
Secondary Fidelity to TF-CBT Therapist fidelity and adherence to TF-CBT will be assessed with the TF-CBT Fidelity Metric. This instrument consists of 12 scales (e.g., gradual exposure, cognitive processing) that allow a trainer to rate (on a 4-point scale) each TF-CBT component applied by a therapist within a session. 6 months
