NCTSI - III: EXPANSION OF THE FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT RECOVERY SERVICE PROJECT IN NORTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND. - THE CO-OCCURRENCE OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) AND TRAUMA CREATE A COMPLEX TREATMENT PROFILE THAT RENDERS MOST TREATMENT MODELS INEFFECTIVE. FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT RECOVERY (FCT-R) IS DESIGNED TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX INTERPLAY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF FAMILY, ADDRESSING THE SYSTEMIC DYNAMICS OF SUD AND TRAUMA EXPOSURE ON THE FAMILY UNIT. THE SPARC FOUNDATION (SPARC) PROPOSES TO EXPAND ITS EXISTING FCT-R PILOT PROGRAM IN ORDER TO SERVE ADDITIONAL FAMILIES WHILE FIELD TESTING AND USING PROGRAM OUTCOME DATA TO FURTHER DEVELOP, VALIDATE, AND SCALE THE FCT-R MODEL. SPARC WILL ADD TWO ADDITIONAL FCT-R TEAMS TO INCREASE DIRECT SERVICES IN THE SERVICE AREA, WHILE ALSO PARTNERING WITH THE FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT (FCT) FOUNDATION, A CURRENT NCTSI CATEGORY II TREATMENT AND SERVICES ADAPTATION (TSA) PROVIDER, TO SCALE UP, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE THE FCT-R MODEL TO ADDITIONAL FCT LICENSED AGENCIES STATEWIDE AND NATIONALLY. FCT-R CONSISTS OF FOUR DISTINCT FCT TREATMENT PHASES THAT ENCOMPASS SCREENING, ASSESSMENT, CARE MANAGEMENT, THERAPY, AND PREVENTION. SYSTEMIC TRAUMA TREATMENT AND SUD TREATMENT IS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT EACH OF THE FOUR PHASES AND SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE-BASED FIDELITY MEASURES OF FCT. FCT-R IS DESIGNED TO TREAT “CROSS-OVER” FAMILIES INVOLVED WITH MULTIPLE SYSTEMS (E.G., CHILD WELFARE, ETC.), OR WHO ARE IN CRISIS, FACING FORCED REMOVAL OF CHILDREN FROM THE HOME, OR IN NEED OF REUNIFICATION DUE TO MULTI-GENERATIONAL TRAUMA AND SUD. LOCATED IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF APPALACHIA, THE SERVICE AREA IS HOME TO 490,000 RESIDENTS AND MORE RACIALLY DIVERSE THAN THE STATE IN GENERAL. THE CATCHMENT AREA RECORDED 1,363 SUBSTANTIATED ABUSE AND NEGLECT CLAIMS IN 2018, AND IN 2019 SERVED 1,019 CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE. OVER THE FIVE-YEAR GRANT PROJECT, SPARC’S FCT-R PROJECT WILL SERVE 816 INDIVIDUALS FROM 272 FAMILIES, AND MEET THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: GOAL 1: EXPAND FCT-R TRAUMA SERVICES INTO BUNCOMBE, POLK, AND TRANSYLVANIA COUNTIES. OBJECTIVE 1A: EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH FOUR COUNTY PARTNERS. OBJECTIVE 1B: RECRUIT, HIRE, AND TRAIN 2 NEW FCT-R TEAMS. OBJECTIVE 1C: DELIVER TRAINING TO 210 COUNTY PARTNERS ABOUT TRAUMA AND THE FCT-R MODEL. OBJECTIVE 1D: BEGIN FCT-R SERVICE DELIVERY TO EXPANDED SERVICE AREA. GOAL 2: OVER THE 5-YEAR GRANT PERIOD, PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICES TO 312 INDIVIDUALS FROM 104 FAMILIES IN EXPANDED SERVICE AREA. OBJECTIVE 2A: 100% OF FAMILIES REFERRED INTO THE PROGRAM WILL HAVE A FAMILY RELAPSE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN. OBJECTIVE 2B: 100% OF FAMILIES REFERRED WILL COMPLETE A SCREENING MEETING. OBJECTIVE 2C: 80% OF FAMILIES WILL DEMONSTRATE AN INCREASE IN CUMULATIVE NUMBER OF ABSTINENT DAYS. OBJECTIVE 2D: DEVELOP, TEST, VALIDATE, AND IMPLEMENT A NEW DATA-DRIVEN MEASURE TO GAUGE SUD TREATMENT PROGRESS DURING FCT-R TREATMENT. OBJECTIVE 2E: 75% OF FAMILIES WILL COMPLETE ALL PHASES OF FCT-R TREATMENT. OBJECTIVE 2F: 80% OF REFERRED FAMILIES WILL BE REUNIFIED AND/OR PRESERVED. GOAL 3: SCALE UP AND SPREAD MODEL TO ENABLE 7 FCT-CERTIFIED AGENCIES TO IMPLEMENT THE FCT-R MODEL AND SERVE AT LEAST 504 INDIVIDUALS FROM 168 FAMILIES OVER FIVE YEARS. OBJECTIVE 3A: COLLABORATE WITH THE FCT FOUNDATION TO FINALIZE FCT-R PROGRAM MANUAL, WHITE PAPER, AND TRAINING MATERIALS TO BE USED FOR DISSEMINATING THE MODEL TO EXTERNAL AGENCIES. OBJECTIVE 3B: DEVELOP AND FINALIZE PLAN FOR TRAINING AND SCALING. OBJECTIVE 3C: COLLABORATE WITH FCT FOUNDATION TO TRAIN 7 FCT-CERTIFIED AGENCIES TO DELIVER FCT-R SERVICES. OBJECTIVE 3D: DISSEMINATE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT TO ONE NATIONAL CONFERENCE AUDIENCE.

INTERACTIVE E-LEARNING FOR THERAPIST TRAINING IN EXPOSURE THERAPY - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OF NUMEROUS WELL-ESTABLISHED EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) FOR MENTAL DISORDERS, IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DISSEMINATE THESE PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS. EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST GLARING EXAMPLES OF THIS RESEARCH-TO- PRACTICE GAP. MANY PRACTICING THERAPISTS HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE TRAINING IN EXPOSURE THERAPY AND CITE THIS AS A PRIMARY BARRIER TO ITS DELIVERY. TO ADDRESS THIS GAP, WE NEED TO RETHINK THE WAY IN WHICH WE TRAIN PROVIDERS. OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, OUR TEAM DEVELOPED AND EMPIRICALLY VALIDATED A SUITE OF EXPOSURE THERAPY TRAINING MODULES THROUGH MULTIPLE NIMH-FUNDED STUDIES. IN KEEPING WITH THE EVIDENCE BASE, THESE MODULES PLACE A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON ACTIVE LEARNING COMPONENTS. ACCORDINGLY, THEY ARE TIME-CONSUMING, COSTLY, REQUIRE LIVE DELIVERY BY EXPERIENCED TRAINERS, AND ARE INFLEXIBLE DUE TO SCHEDULING CONSTRAINTS. RECENT ADVANCES IN E- LEARNING OFFER AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO AUTOMATE BOTH THE DIDACTIC AND INTERACTIVE COMPONENTS OF THESE EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING MODULES–AN APPROACH THAT HAS POTENTIAL TO VASTLY IMPROVE SCALABILITY, THUS ADDRESSING A PRIMARY BARRIER TO ACCESSING THE MOST POTENT TREATMENT AVAILABLE FOR ANXIETY. IN THIS PROJECT, WE WILL DEVELOP AND INITIALLY TEST AN AUTOMATED ELEARNING APPROACH FOR THERAPISTS LEARNING EXPOSURE THERAPY. WE WILL LEVERAGE EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING CONTENT AND STRATEGIES FROM OUR PRIOR WORK, AS WELL AS RECENT ADVANCES IN ELEARNING (E.G., ADAPTIVE ELEARNING). THE PROPOSED PHASE I STTR STUDY WILL TAKE PLACE IN THREE STAGES. STAGE ONE (DEVELOPMENT) IS A NINE-MONTH DEVELOPMENT PERIOD DURING WHICH PARC INNOVATIONS WILL BUILD AN ALPHA VERSION OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE RESEARCH TEAM AND EARLY INPUT FROM A MULTI-PERSPECTIVE ADVISORY PANEL (MAP). THE MAP (N=8) WILL CONSIST OF PROFESSIONALS WITH EXPERTISE IN COMMERCIALIZATION, EDUCATION & E-LEARNING, AND/OR TECHNOLOGY. IN STAGE TWO (END- USER FEEDBACK AND OPTIMIZATION), A GROUP OF CLINICIAN END-USERS (N = 8) WILL INTERACT WITH THE PLATFORM AND PROVIDE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK THAT WILL BE SYNTHESIZED BY THE RESEARCH TEAM INTO ACTION ITEMS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. IN STAGE THREE (TRAINING TRIAL), THERAPISTS (N=40) WILL COMPLETE 8 HOURS OF E-LEARNING TRAINING (SELF-PACED) OVER THREE WEEKS. USABILITY AND TRAINING OUTCOMES (E.G., THERAPIST KNOWLEDGE, SELF-EFFICACY) FROM THIS PILOT TRIAL WILL SUPPORT A PHASE II STTR PROJECT AIMED AT BUILDING OUT AND BROADLY DISSEMINATING THIS ELEARNING APPROACH.
