About this study

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.

Read the 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).

The study is guided by the following specific aims:

Phase I AIM 1: To develop a prototype version of CSC OnDemand. AIM 2: To test the prototype online platform with a small sample of sites/providers to determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the product.

Hypothesis: CSC OnDemand will show positive learning and satisfaction outcomes among providers, and findings will suggest the need for and feasibility of conducting a Phase II effectiveness trial.

Phase II AIM 1: To refine, expand, and finalize CSC OnDemand based on Phase I findings. AIM 2: To determine if the OnDemand training intervention is as successful as the InPerson intervention in increasing CSC providers knowledge and shared decision making (SDM). Hypothesis: Providers in the OnDemand condition will achieve increases in knowledge, SDM and satisfaction at post training and nine months that will be no more than .5 standard deviations less than the InPerson condition.

AIM 3: To determine if the OnDemand training intervention is as successful as the InPerson training in increasing participation in work or school, improving engagement in treatment, and decreasing relapse rates for participating clients.

Hypothesis: Clients being served by the providers in the OnDemand condition will have work/school participation rates, levels of engagement and rates of hospitalization nine months after admission that are no more than 10 percent higher (hospitalization) or lower (work/school, engagement) than clients served by providers in the InPerson condition.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Knowledge Test: Percentage of correct responses on a 50-item, complex multiple choice knowledge (effectiveness) test that is both discipline-specific and inclusive of all disciplines.

    Participants will be tested on preliminary effectiveness of the CSC OnDemand tool.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Satisfaction and Acceptability Survey: Level of satisfaction and acceptability with the CSC OnDemand tool as measured by quantitative and qualitative measures.

    Participants will respond to satisfaction and acceptability questionnaires.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CSC OnDemand in people with Psychosis, run by Center for Social Innovation, Massachusetts at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Knowledge Test: Percentage of correct responses on a 50-item, complex multiple choice knowledge (effectiveness) test that is both discipline-specific and inclusive of all disciplines. (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2017.
