About this study

Official title: Enhancing the Impact of Evidence-Based Prevention for Youth: The Rapid Adaptation to Prevent Drug Use (RAPD) Implementation Study

Using a 2-group, mixed method cluster randomized trial design, this study will compare standard implementation versus RAPD implementation strategy in Michigan Middle Schools

Read the detailed description

Background: Drug use trends change rapidly among youth, leaving intervention experts struggling to respond to emerging drugs promptly. There is a critical need to advance implementation strategies to optimize system responsiveness to these emerging issues. COVID-19 has increased the urgency for implementation science to facilitate rapid, equitable responses using existing treatment and prevention efforts. Tier 1 evidence-based interventions (EBIs), such as the Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) lend themselves to addressing emerging trends. The overall objectives of this study are to 1) improve the responsiveness of school-based EBIs in addressing urgent issues and 2) find ways to support educators and education systems in implementing updated EBIs, attending to unique considerations of low-resource settings.

Methods: Using a 2-group, mixed method, randomized controlled trial design, this pilot study will compare standard implementation versus the RAPD implementation strategy to deliver MMH.

The RAPD implementation strategy was designed based on an After Action Review (AAR) approach in collaboration with community partners to analyze gaps and best practices and identify and test suitable implementation strategies to improve responsiveness to the next urgent drug event.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rapid Adaptation to Prevent Drug Use (RAPD)Behavioural

    RAPD will include a novel bundle of implementation strategies to support rapid responses to urgent drug use events. The strategies deployed will be based on the first step of the After Action Review: critical analysis and reflection.

  • Standard ImplementationBehavioural

    Standard implementation of the Michigan Model for Health (MMH) includes curriculum materials and as-needed technical assistance provided by a school health coordinator.

What is being measured

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

  1. RAPD Strategy Feasibility

    The investigators use a mixed methods approach to determine teacher perceived feasibility of the RAPD implementation strategy (Feasibility of Implementation Measure). Feasibility is defined as the extent to which the innovation (RAPD) can be practically used in a given setting.

    Measured: 9 Months

  2. RAPD Strategy Acceptability

    The investigators use a mixed methods approach to determine teacher perceived acceptability of the RAPD implementation strategy (Acceptability of Implementation Measure). Acceptability is defined as the view among stakeholders that a given innovation (RAPD) is agreeable or satisfactory.

    Measured: 9 Months

  3. RAPD Strategy Appropriateness

    The investigators use a mixed methods approach to determine teacher perceived appropriateness of the RAPD implementation strategy (Implementation Appropriateness Measure). Appropriateness is defined as the perceived compatibility of an innovation (RAPD) with needs and practices of the setting and the perceived utility in addressing a given problem.

    Measured: 9 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MMH Fidelity

    The investigators use an MMH fidelity tracking form to assess dose delivered by summing the total lessons delivered.

    Measured: 9 Months
