Study Summary
This trial will study the feasibility of using an online training strategy to improve dissemination and implementation of FBT for AN in private practice.
Who is the study for?

They must have computer access for training, no prior extensive FBT workshop experience, and can submit data on their treatment of an adolescent with AN.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two methods to train private practice clinicians in Family-based Treatment (FBT) for adolescent Anorexia Nervosa: self-directed online training versus webinar training. It aims to determine which method leads to better therapist retention, supervision engagement, and patient outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves professional training rather than medical interventions, it does not include traditional side effects. However, there may be differences in the effectiveness of the treatments provided by trained therapists.

Active Control
Group I: Online TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
10 lectures that are self-paced with a maximum of three months to complete with each lecture bundle comprising of 5-8 short (about 4 minutes in length), didactic videos that discuss the treatment model and provide mock therapy session video clips (modeling FBT with a typical adolescent AN case), as well as supplementary readings and videotaped role-plays. Enrollees complete each lecture bundle and complete the assignments as they move through the training at their own pace, but to have completed all within the 3-month time frame. When the training is completed, therapists will proceed to schedule post-online supervision for a minimum of 1 case and a maximum of 2 cases over the course of 3 months.
Group II: Webinar TrainingActive Control1 Intervention
1-hour weekly webinar lectures that essentially is the FBT training that is conducted in person, just recorded. There will be lectures discussing the scientific evidence supporting FBT, how therapists set up treatment for FBT, main interventions used in FBT during each phase, and recorded role-plays illustrating interventions throughout the 3 phases. Enrollees watch each webinar video as it is released weekly over a 12 week (3 month period). When the training is completed, therapists will proceed to schedule post-online supervision for a minimum of 1 case and a maximum of 2 cases over the course of 3 months.
