About this study

The goal of this study is to adapt and test the feasibility and potential efficacy of a theory-driven pre-implementation intervention to address individual-level barriers to EBP implementation - Beliefs and Attitudes for Successful Implementation in Schools (BASIS) - designed to improve school mental health providers' implementation of EBPs. BASIS is intended to be a feasible and scalable first-line or adjunctive implementation enhancement intervention that is facilitative of other efforts (e.g., organizational interventions) that target high quality EBP implementation. Aims of this study are to: (1) Adapt an existing, theory-driven implementation intervention (BASIS), previously used with educators, to improve the EBP implementation behaviors of school mental health providers; and (2) Assess the viability of a later clinical trial by: (a) establishing the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the BASIS intervention among school mental health providers, and (b) Pilot testing BASIS, as compared to an Attention Control, delivered as pre-implementation intervention prior to training in a specific, existing EBP. Key organizational factors (e.g., implementation climate) will also be evaluated and included as covariates and we will explore trends in the data to inform the design of a larger trial. Ultimately, BASIS offers an innovative and scalable approach to improving school mental health providers' uptake and use of EBPs in order to increase the number of youth with mental health problems who receive high quality services.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Attitudes toward Evidence-Based Practices

    Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale (EBPAS) is a widely used 26-item tool designed to assess evidence-based practice (EBP) attitudes with items measured on a 0-4 scale and 6 subscales: (1) likelihood of adopting if the EBP were a requirement; (2) likelihood of adopting if the EBP were appealing to you; (3) openness to new practices; (4) perceived divergence between current practices and EBPs; (5) fit of EBPs with current practices; and (6) burden of EBPs. Subscale and total scores are mean scores of items with a range of 0-4. Higher scores reflect more favorable attitudes (perceived divergence is reverse-coded).

    Measured: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up

  2. Change in Subjective Norms

    Subjective Norms Scale is based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs. Two subscales measure two types implementation-related subjective norms: injunctive norms and descriptive norms. Four items load on each subscale and mean score range from -3 to +3, with positive scores reflecting more positive subjective injunctive and descriptive norms.

    Measured: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up

  3. Change in Perceived Behavioral Control

    Perceived Behavioral Control Scale is a modified version of the Teacher's Self-Efficacy Scale, which has 10 items assessing perceived behavioral control in implementing evidence-based practices. Items are scored on a 1-4 scale with a total mean score ranging from 1-4. Higher scores reflect greater (i.e., more favorable) perceived behavioral control.

    Measured: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in School Implementation Citizenship Behaviors

    The School Implementation Citizenship Behaviors Scale (S-ICBS) includes 15 items and measures clinicians' perceptions of how school staff engage with evidence-based practices in their specific school context. There are 4 subscales: (1) helping others; (2) keeping informed; (3) taking initiative; and (4) advocacy. Subscale and total scores are mean scores of items with a range of 0-4. Higher scores reflect greater (i.e., more favorable) implementation citizenship behavior.

    Measured: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up

  2. Change in Intentions to Implement

    The Modified Intentions to Use Scale has 9 items assessing school mental health providers' intentions to implement evidence-based practices. A total mean score is computed with a range of 0-4 and higher scores indicate more favorable intentions. Two versions of this scale were administered. At baseline, all providers were asked about general intentions to implement evidence-based practices. After training, clinicians were asked about intentions to implement the specific intervention for which they had received training.

    Measured: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BASIS in people with Intervention Adoption and Implementation, run by University of Washington 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 1 inclusion and 0 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 2 Jan 2019. 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?

Change in Attitudes toward Evidence-Based Practices (time frame: Pre-intervention/baseline, post-intervention (1-2 weeks), 4-month follow-up). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03791281, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
