Study Overview
Brief Summary
In response to the growing need for training on interventions to address first episode psychosis, the Center for Social Innovation (C4) has partnered with experts in Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) to develop and test CSC OnDemand: An Innovative Online Learning Platform for Implementing Coordinated Specialty Care. The product builds on the findings of the Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) studies, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). RAISE examined team-based models of care for people early in the course of schizophrenia. Through a Fast Track Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, investigators will prototype, test, refine, and evaluate the impact of CSC OnDemand.
Detailed Description
Building on existing resources and the expertise of our faculty and advisors, we will develop CSC OnDemand, a multifaceted online learning product that includes four levels: 1) an online readiness tool and CSC Learning Hub; 2) dynamic multimedia core curriculum on first episode psychosis and CSC; 3) live faculty-led online courses; and 4) ongoing support, including an online community of practice to support peer-to-peer learning.
During Phases I and II of this Fast Track SBIR, we will prototype, pilot test, build out, and evaluate the product through a cluster randomized non-inferiority study comparing it with InPerson training.
Phase I will build a robust prototype of the online platform and test it with 15-20 providers from three sites. This Phase will explore feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the product, and will examine which components of the online platform providers find most useful.
Based on our findings from Phase I, we will refine and fully build out the product to test in a larger randomized trial. Phase II will use a cluster randomized non-inferiority design to assess if OnDemand training (n = 20 sites) is comparable to InPerson training (n = 10 sites). Using a mixed-methods approach, we will examine provider (n = 150) outcomes (satisfaction; knowledge gains/retention; attitudes toward shared decision making) and client (n = 600) outcomes (work/school participation; engagement in CSC services; inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations).
