Facilitating Sustainment Through Implementation Feedback: The SIC Coaching Model

This study aims to test the impact of an empirically derived implementation strategy-under real-world conditions and across multiple child service systems-on successful adoption and sustainment of two evidence-based programs that address adolescent substance abuse: Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO; formerly Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care) and Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), both developed with funding from NIDA. Methods for this study utilize "technology-based approaches" for "implementing large-scale change." Leveraging previous data focused on developing and testing the 8-staged Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) tool, a randomized evaluation of a SIC Coaching Strategy (SIC-CS) is proposed. Study activities include extending the SIC into the Sustainment Phase and testing the SIC-CS to support the adoption of new evidence-based programs.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Standard Consultation; Sites in this arm will receive the standard consultation from the TFCO or MDFT purveyors
Experimental: SIC Coaching Consultation; In addition to the standard consultation from the TFCO or MDFT purveyors, sites in this arm will also receive feedback on how they are doing in terms of completing expected activities in their efforts to implement the designated EBP.	Behavioral: SIC Coaching; Sites receiving consultation to implement either TFCO or MDFT will also receive consultation on their implementation fidelity as measured and tracked by the SIC.
