Digital CRAFT Training for Professionals to Improve OUD Treatment

This study is testing different ways to deliver digital training for a method called Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT). CRAFT helps families support loved ones with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) to get into and stay in treatment. We want to see if these digital training programs can effectively teach counselors how to use CRAFT. The study will compare three levels of digital training: a basic digital tutorial, a tutorial with extra training materials, and a tutorial with materials plus coaching and feedback. We're looking for counselors over 19 who live in the US, work with clients, and could work with those affected by OUD. Success will be measured by how well counselors learn and use CRAFT procedures. This study plans to enroll 240 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

What's involved
You would participate in self-study of a digital tutorial and potentially additional materials over 7 weeks, revisiting them over 6 months. Some participants will also receive group coaching and feedback.
Compensation

What this trial measures

  • CRAFT Procedure Fidelity3 months, 6 months

    CRAFT performance on the mock sessions observed by trained coders rating performance of each CRAFT treatment entry procedure (6 items), homework procedures (2 items), overall CRAFT approach (2 items), and general clinical skill (4 items) on a 5-point scale (i.e., 1 =poor; 3 =satisfactory; 5 =excellent). Total score will be calculated across all 14 items for each participant. Average scores on each procedure and in total will be calculated for each participant group at baseline and at follow-ups. Scores can range from 6 - 30 on treatment entry; 2 - 10 on homework and CRAFT approach; 4 - 20 on general clinical skill; and 14 - 70 on the overall total.
