Overview
Brief 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.
Detailed 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 online training or live two-day training in FBT. Data will be collected on the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the training (online 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants Who Complete Training
Time Frame: 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)
Training completion will be the number of participants who complete the full course of training.
Family-Based Treatment Knowledge Assessment (FBT-KA) Score at Post-Training
Time Frame: Baseline and post-training (measured immediately following completion of training)
The FBT Knowledge Assessment (FBT-KA) is an 28-item multiple-choice test that measures knowledge about FBT. Scores range from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating more knowledge.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants Who Receive FBT Consultation at 12 Months(12-month follow-up (measured at 12 months from the deadline for completion of training))
