Official title

Beliefs and Attitudes for Successful Implementation in Schools (BASIS) Optimization

Overview

The objective of the BASIS R34 pilot study is to test the impact of eBASIS in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Consistent with IMPACT's IQM, the study tests effects of eBASIS on treatment fidelity and youth outcomes, compared to a digitally delivered control (N=32 clinicians; 96 clients). A well-established EBP (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Plus), will be a focus of the investigation, which eligible participants will already be signed up to receive.

Detailed description

Although evidence-based practices (EBPs) have been extensively developed, they are not widely used in school settings, where up to 80% of youth receive mental health services. This results in reduced impact on youth mental health. The project aims to test the online version of efficient and effective strategy called BASIS to improve the quality of EBP by focusing on individual-level processes, complementing organizational change approaches.

The strategy applies the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to influence key provider behaviors, such as attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, which are central to EBP adoption and fidelity. Preliminary trials on BASIS found significant changes in key theory of planned behavior mechanisms (e.g., attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and social norms) and more engagement in post-training consultation among school school-based clinicians, supporting implementation of evidenced-based social-emotional-behavioral practices. By addressing the intrapersonal mechanisms driving provider decisions, the study aims to improve implementation outcomes in school settings.

The objective of this pilot study is to test the impact of the optimized eBASIS in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Consistent with IMPACT's IQM, the study tests effects of eBASIS on treatment fidelity and youth outcomes, compared to a digitally delivered control (N=32 clinicians; 96 clients). A well-established EBP (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Plus), will be a focus of the investigation, which eligible participants will already be signed up to receive.

Interventions

  • Behavioral eBASIS
    eBASIS is an online, optimized, and evidence-based practice agnostic implementation strategy that addresses the behavioral component often missing from standard evidence-based practice training and consultation. It relates to motivation before and volition after the evidence-based practice training and targets behavioral intentions by improving attitudes, subjective norms, and self-efficacy. The implementation strategy is designed to be designed to be delivered within the Preparation/Adoption ph
  • Behavioral eAttention Control
    eAC is an online control for eBASIS. Providers assigned to eAttention Control (eAC) will receive pre- and post-training experiences designed to mirror those received in eBASIS. These training experiences will be delivered on the same platform and be approximately the same length as the eBASIS but will not contain any eBASIS content or mechanisms of change. The eAC pre-training experience will define, describe, and advocate for evidence-based practice implementation in schools. Content in eAC wil
