Interpersonal Psychotherapy Online Training Study
Harnessing Technology for Training Clinicians to Deliver Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based therapy for the treatment of eating disorders (including binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and disordered eating not meeting full diagnostic criteria). On a basic level, IPT is a time-limited treatment that helps the client understand the relationship between symptoms and social interactions. Traditional training methods require substantial cost, time, and resources, making evidence-based treatments difficult to disseminate. As such, college clinicians are not typically trained in IPT delivery, which prevents their clients from reaping the potential benefits of treatment. This study will attempt to show how technology can overcome such barriers to training dissemination.
The purpose of this study is to see if online training in IPT is as effective as in-person training. To find out, the following procedures will occur: First, college mental health clinicians will complete baseline online questionnaires and deliver their usual treatment to 1 or 2 clients with symptoms of eating disorders. Then, they will complete the guided online training program and post-training assessments. Next, they will treat 1 or 2 different clients with eating disorders and complete post-training assessments. As part of the baseline and post-training assessments, clinicians will complete a telephone-based simulation assessment with staff raters, in which the investigators will recreate a client session and rate how well the clinicians adhere to IPT in treating the simulated client. The guided on-line training program will ultimately be compared to the "gold standard" training (the group receiving in-person training in an associated, IRB-approved study, # 201111113).

실험적: IPT Online Training
Therapists in this study will be trained in IPT using an online platform.
The program is self-paced but will have a deadline; the suggested pace is at least 12 hours spaced over 2 months.
The guided online training program was developed in collaboration with 3C institute, an award-winning research and development company that creates web- and evidence-based programs.
Content will be adapted from "gold-standard" training.
