BASIS-T Efficacy Trial for Behavioral Interventions in Schools
This study, called BASIS-T, is looking at ways to help teachers better use evidence-based prevention practices (EBPPs) for children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. It compares two approaches: BASIS-T, which focuses on teacher motivation and willingness to use these practices, and an Attention Control (ACC) group, which receives similar training experiences without the specific BASIS-T components. The study is open to K-5th grade teachers who are not in special education-only classrooms and haven't been trained in a specific practice called PGD in the last five years. Researchers will measure changes in teachers' attitudes, beliefs (subjective norms), and confidence (self-efficacy) over 15 months to see if BASIS-T helps them adopt these important practices.
- Study design

What this trial measures
- Proximal Outcome: AttitudesBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Evidence-Based Attitudes Scale - a 15-item tool that captures attitudes toward evidence-based practices. The scale includes internally consistent scores including total score and subscale scores: (1) appeal of EBP, (2) openness to new practices, (3) likelihood of adopting an evidence-based practice, and (4) perceived divergence between current and evidence-based practices. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 4. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Proximal Outcome: Subjective NormsBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Subjective Norms about EBPP Implementation will be measured via 6-item self-report measure developed based on established guidelines to capture injunctive and descriptive norms regarding specific behaviors. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 800. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Proximal Outcome: Self-EfficacyBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Modified Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale. A modified version of the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale will be used to assess educators' self-efficacy belief. This scale includes 10-items that assess teachers' confidence and self-efficacy regarding teaching practices. This measure will also be used to assess maintenance self-efficacy after teachers initiate implementation of PGD. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 4. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Proximal Outcome: Intentions to ImplementBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Modified-Intentions to Use Scale (Intentions). The Modified-Intentions to Use Scale is based on work investigating practitioners' intention to adhere to measurement-based care. The survey includes 5-items modified to be consistent with educators' intentions to use SEB EBPs. This survey is qualitative, and therefore does not have numerical scoring.
- Implementation Outcome: Adoption2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Adoption data will be gathered via monthly self-report checklist of fidelity. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 15. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Implementation Outcome: Fidelity and Sustainment - ObservedBeginning of School Year, Mid-School Year, End of School Year
School administrative staff will be trained to conduct PGD fidelity observations and complete a PGD observation form 3 times per teacher over the course of the school year. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 6. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Implementation Outcome: Fidelity and Sustainment - Self ReportBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
A self-report checklist will be used to capture adherence to delivering core PGD practices as planned. Teachers will complete the checklist monthly both years. Minimum Score 0, Maximum Score 15. Higher Scores mean better outcome.
- Implementation Outcome: ReachBaseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks, 2-months, 3-months, 4-months, 5-months, 6-months, 9-months, 15-months
Reach will be computed using the fidelity data to determine the proportion of students who are receiving PGD practices. Specifically, teachers who are delivering PGD practices with 75% or greater fidelity will be classified as classrooms where students are receiving PGD. The number of students in these classrooms will be divided by the total students across classrooms of teachers who have received PGD training.
