Using Technology to Augment the Implementation and Effectiveness of PCIT
United States317 participantsStarted 2007-01
Plain-language summary
The overarching aim of the proposed study is to test the implementation effectiveness of two implementation approaches-Remote Real-Time (RRT) using the internet telemedicine technology and traditional Phone Consultation (PC) for training practitioners in PCIT. The study will add to emerging knowledge about how technology can facilitate the transport of evidence-based intervention models into field settings.

Inclusion Criteria:
A major inclusion criterion for agencies is existing plans and financial support for PCIT implementation because this study's resources cannot fund the phase one didactic training or clinical implementation. The proposed agencies all have existing funding, including demonstration grants, Children's Justice grant funding, state contracts, federal implementation funding, Indian Health Services funding, or SAMHSA funding specifically to support their PCIT implementation. However without the current project, none of the agency sites proposed for this study would be using RRT or assessing therapist fidelity; this study thus provides quality assurance mechanisms that would be unavailable otherwise. The agencies have reviewed and agreed to a set of agency inclusion criteria for study participation:
* The agency should be committed to developing a PCIT program, not simply training staff. There should be a commitment by leadership to the program's long-term sustainability, including sustaining the program through staff turn-over.
* The agency should identify a minimum of three staff for PCIT training (with two staff members acceptable from very small agencies that do not have three child service providers), at least one of which is a supervisor. Licensed mental health practitioner staff with a Master's degree or higher are strongly preferred, although exceptions may be made in cases where agencies do not have Master's level staff.
