Study Summary

This trial aims to compare implementation strategies for large-scale spread of Caregivers FIRST, a group training for friend or family caregivers of Veterans. The goal is to use a type III effectiveness-implementation hybrid design framework to compare continuation of implementation strategies for 24 sites that do not meet implementation adoption benchmarks.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for sites that haven't met adoption benchmarks for a caregiver training program called Caregivers FIRST. These sites must agree to participate and will be randomly chosen to receive either standard or enhanced support to implement the training.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two methods of implementing the Caregivers FIRST program across various locations: Foundational REP (standard support) versus Enhanced REP (intensive support). It aims to see which strategy is more effective in spreading this caregiver training.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves implementation strategies rather than medical treatments, it does not have traditional side effects. However, there may be differences in how well each site can adopt the program based on the strategy they receive.

Active Control

Group I: Enhanced REPExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Enhanced REP begins with the same activities as Foundational REP. Sites randomized to receive Enhanced REP will continue with Foundational REP and also receive higher intensity support for a period of approximately 4 months. The higher intensity support will consist of facilitation, a process of interactive problem solving and support that occurs in a context of a supportive interpersonal relationship and CONNECT, a complexity science-based bundle of interaction-oriented activities designed to supplement implementation efforts by promoting team function and readiness for change. Facilitation will be provided by Function QUERI team members.

Group II: Foundational REPActive Control1 Intervention

Foundational REP uses the Replicating Effective Program implementation strategy and includes 5 elements that were developed and tested in the investigators' prior Function QUERI work: Stakeholder engagement; Toolkit; SharePoint access for clinical program training materials; Data dashboard to assist sites with tracking their own data; and Diffusion Networks to promote peer-to-peer sharing and implementation support.
