    Abstract Integrating mobile health (mHealth) interventions into settings that serve diverse patient populations requires that prerequisite professional competencies are delineated and that standards for clinical quality assurance can be pragmatically assessed. Heretofore, proposed mHealth competencies have been broad and have lacked a framework to support specific applications. We outline the meta-competencies identified in the literature relevant to mHealth interventions and demonstrate how these meta-competencies can be integrated with population- and intervention-related competencies to help guide a pragmatic approach to competency assessment. We present a use case based on

    Abstract Purpose: Caregivers of loved ones with psychosis are tasked with navigating a barren care landscape for their loved ones and for themselves. The dearth of resources they face has a negative impact on outcomes for caregivers and their loved ones. The Psychosis REACH program, based on principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis was developed as a community-based resource for families to address this care gap. A role for family peers called the Psychosis REACH Family Ambassadors (pRFAs) was developed to reinforce skill learning for caregivers by utilizing a task-sharing approach. This qualitative study sought to better understand pRFAs' experiences in the inaugural training cohort of this program.
    Patients and methods: Eleven pRFAs participated in semi-structured interviews with research coordinators via teleconference. Questions assessed the quality of the training, challenges and facilitators experienced in their role, and ways in which the program could be improved and expanded. Using thematic analysis, members of the research team coded interviews individually, discussed codes until consensus was reached, and iteratively developed themes based on codes that clustered based on meaning or content.
    Results: This process identified 5 key themes: The development of hope and recovery, the development of solidarity networks, the challenges of navigating boundaries, preferred pedagogical strategies, and the need for more support.
    Conclusion: Overall, the themes developed from this qualitative analysis demonstrate the value and feasibility of developing a caregiver peer network of pRFAs trained in recovery-oriented care and CBTp-informed skills to support other caregivers. Additionally, they highlight the challenges associated with being in the role of a pRFA and further efforts needed to align training content and learning management systems to the needs of pRFA trainees. These findings highlight the importance of expanding access to family peer training programs for the wellbeing of caregivers and loved ones with psychosis alike.

    Abstract Behavioral health professionals are charged with providing effective outpatient services while addressing patient and public safety, yet training in empirically-informed violence risk assessment strategies remains inaccessible. The authors developed and evaluated an online distance learning (ODL) course on clinical risk assessment targeting frontline providers and trainees in the United States. The ODL consisted of three modules: confidentiality, duty to third parties, and clinical assessment of violence risk. We evaluated the response characteristics and reach among different disciplines, as well as training satisfaction, change in knowledge, self-perceived competence, and self-reported impact on practice at six-week follow-up among 221 learners. Self-perceptions of competence and knowledge in the focal areas increased immediately after completing the training; self-perceived competence increased again by a significant margin at six-week follow-up. Participants reported a moderate-high positive impact of the training on practice.

    Abstract The COVID pandemic is now leading to the emergence of a secondary mental health pandemic. Clients with psychosis are at increased risk of poorer medium- and long-term psychosocial and clinical outcomes. In response to the pressing need to flexibly deliver high-quality care to individuals with psychosis, this brief report proposes high yield cognitive behavioral techniques for psychosis (HY-CBt-p) facilitated by task sharing and digital enhancements. HY-CBt-p is delivered over fewer sessions than formulation-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp), can be learned by a range of providers, and includes techniques such as developing a normalizing explanation; techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia, which perpetuate psychotic symptoms; self-monitoring; reality testing; and wellness planning. Previous research suggests that effect sizes will be lower than that of 16-session formulation-driven CBTp, but additional research is needed to test the feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and comparative effectiveness of different forms of remote-delivered CBTp.

    Abstract Introduction: Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) is a teleconsultation model that leverages technology to sustain specialized interventions in underresourced settings. We present the application of the ECHO model to longitudinal training and consultation for community behavioral health providers learning to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis, an evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals with psychotic disorders that has poorly penetrated the US mental health system.
    Methods: We analyzed within-group change over practitioners' 6-month ECHO participation cycle using the Expanded Outcomes Framework. We evaluated outcomes associated with participation, satisfaction, knowledge acquisition, performance, patient symptom severity, and functional impairment.
    Results: In the first 3 years, the cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis ECHO Clinics supported 150 providers from 12 community agencies. Forty percent did not complete the 6-month ECHO calendar, most commonly due to separation from their agency. Participants reported high degrees of satisfaction. Declarative and procedural knowledge increased over the 6-month period. Of the 24 providers who received a fidelity review, 87.5% met or exceeded the competency benchmark within the 6-month period. Clinical outcomes reflected reductions in hallucinations, negative symptoms, depression, mania, and functional impairment, but no reductions were detected in delusions, disorganized speech, or abnormal psychomotor behavior.
    Discussion: ECHO Clinics offer a mode of providing continuous access to expert instruction, peer-to-peer consultation, and case-based learning that other workforce training models lack. Our evaluation suggests that the ECHO model supports continuous professional development for practitioners, most of whom had indicated inadequate preparation for their role. We observed improved learner and select patient outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is recommended by national treatment guidelines yet remains widely inaccessible in the U.S. A stepped care model, favored and feasible for other scarce interventions, may improve access to CBTp.
    Methods: We employed an exploratory sequential mixed method design inclusive of two distinct phases to quantitatively evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of CBTp Stepped Care (CBTp-SC) among practitioners who were trained in low-intensity CBTp (Step 1), Group-Administered CBTp (Step 2), and Formulation-based CBTp (Step 3). In Phase 1, we queried respondents using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and the Feasibility of Intervention Measure to ascertain perceptions of these leading indicators of implementation success. In Phase 2, we conducted focus groups with CBTp-SC-trained practitioners (n = 10) and administrators (n = 2) from 2 of the 4 Phase 1 study sites to evaluate the theoretical assumptions of stepped care and to better understand key barriers and facilitators.
    Results: Forty-six practitioners trained in all three levels of CBTp-SC completed the online survey in Phase 1. All participants were employed by a community mental health agency currently sustaining CBTp-SC. Respondents endorsed high levels of acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness for the CBTp-SC model. We found evidence to suggest that licensed practitioners and Step 3 practitioners perceived formulation-based CBTp as more appropriate for their clients. In Phase 2, six themes emerged which affirmed the utility of the model for stakeholders, supported stepped care theoretical assumptions, and revealed key areas for improvement.
    Conclusions: Early adopters of CBTp-SC in the U.S. perceive it to be acceptable, feasible, and appropriate in community mental health care settings. Practitioners and administrators identified training and implementation barriers, including the importance of organizational readiness, a CBTp coordinator role, and a desire to adapt the intervention. These early findings will facilitate iterative refinement of the stepped care model for U.S. public behavioral health agencies. Additional research is needed to explore perceptions and clinical outcomes among CBTp service users.

    Abstract Intermediary-purveyor organizations (IPOs) are a type of dissemination support system that are intended to enhance the adoption and sustainment of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) by deploying empirically supported strategies to remediate implementation challenges. Despite the recent proliferation of government-funded IPOs for other psychiatric populations, IPOs that can redress the substantial science-to-practice gap among clients who experience psychotic disorders are not well documented. This article provides an overview of an IPO in an R1 academic medical center whose mission is to enhance access to evidence-based interventions for individuals who have or are at risk for a psychotic disorder. The article spotlights the functions of an IPO and illustrates these functions with a use case, cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis. We highlight IPO-led activities related to cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis purveyance, professional development, quality improvement, public awareness education and training, research and evaluation, as well as program and policy development. Finally, we address the advantages and disadvantages of establishing IPOs of this nature in academic medical centers, the importance of academic-community partnerships in advancing EST implementation, and present considerations for replication.

    Abstract Challenges in training, dissemination, and implementation have impeded the ability of providers to integrate promising digital health tools in real-world services. There is a need for generalizable strategies to rapidly train real-world providers at scale to support the adoption of digital health. This study describes the development of principles guiding rapid training of community-based clinicians in the support of digital health. This training approach was developed in the context of an ongoing trial examining implementation strategies for FOCUS, a mobile mental health intervention designed for people with serious mental illness. The SAIL (Simple, Accessible, Inverted, Live) model introduces how digital tools can be leveraged to facilitate rapid training of community agency-based personnel to serve as digital mental health champions, promoters, and providers. This model emphasizes simple and flexible principles of intervention delivery, accessible materials in a virtual learning environment, inverted or "flipped" live training structure, and live consultation calls for ongoing support. These initial insights lay the groundwork for future work to test and replicate generalizable training strategies focused on real-world delivery of digital mental health services. These strategies have the potential to remove key obstacles to the implementation and dissemination of digital health interventions for mental health.
