Study Summary
This trial will compare the effectiveness of traditional face-to-face training and a Family Therapy Training and Implementation Platform (FTTIP) for mental health therapists, families, and agency leaders.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for mental health therapists and agency leaders. Therapists must be treating youth, have no recent family therapy training, and agree to train and apply a new treatment with a family. They need at least 2 years of experience or relevant qualifications. A child aged 11-18 and their caregiver will participate per therapist. Agency leaders should manage resources to support the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if web-based Family Therapy Training (FTTIP) is as effective as traditional in-person training for therapists learning family therapy skills. It measures improvements in therapy competencies, agency readiness, and client outcomes after training with FTTIP versus usual methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in the study.
