SMART Therapist Training: A Hybrid Factorial-SMART Design
NCT07010770
This study is recruiting at 4 US sites in 4 states, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is highly effective in randomized controlled trials, but its effectiveness drops substantially in standard clinical practice, largely due to therapist "drift" from fidelity to the protocol. What remains unknown is which components of CPT training yield high therapist fidelity. Thus, there is a critical need to use empirical approaches to identify the most effective components of CPT training and to develop an adaptive training model for CPT by testing sequences of empirically-supported training strategies.
