What this trial measures

  • Acceptability of Tele-BEWeek of sessions 1, 5, 9, and 12

    Acceptability of Intervention Measure: A 4-item, psychometrically-validated measure that indexes the extent to which stakeholders believe an implementation strategy is acceptable Qualitative Interview

  • Feasibility of Tele-BEWeek of sessions 1, 5, 9, and 12

    Feasibility of Intervention Measure; A 4-tem, psychometrically-validated measure that indexes the extent to which stakeholders perceive an implementation strategy is feasible Web Analytics (i.e., clinician use of Tele-BE features)

  • Usability of Tele-BEWeek of sessions 1, 5, 9, and 12

    \- System Usability Scale (SUS): A 10-item questionnaire on a 5-point scale from 1=Strongly disagree to 5=Strongly agree which measures the usability of a system (in this case, Tele-BE).

  • Clinician Fidelity to CBT Structural ComponentsWeekly over the trial period (approximately 12 sessions, up to 16 weeks)

    Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS): Clinician fidelity to structural components will be captured via direct observation to each of the 6 components of interest: ((1) progress monitoring with evidence-based assessment tools, (2) agenda setting guided by shared decision-making, (3) out-of-session practice ("homework") review, (4) skill instruction, (5) skill practice, and (6) homework planning. Items will be coded using adapted items of the CTRS, a gold-standard CBT fidelity measure that has a subscale designed to measure structural components
