Online Training in the Fundamentals of Eating Disorders Treatment

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项第一阶段小企业创新研究（SBIR）拨款申请，旨在支持开发一项创新的在线培训计划，以帮助传播基于证据的饮食失调（ED）治疗（例如，神经性贪食症（BN）和暴食症（BED）的认知行为疗法和人际心理治疗）。目前的申请代表了一种合作伙伴关系：1)共同负责人（Safer）和共同调查员（Agras），他们与饮食失调专家联盟，将开发和评估在线培训计划（饮食失调治疗基础在线培训；ED-OLT）的有效性；2)小企业，行为技术研究公司，一家致力于传播有效的社会心理治疗的公司。该项目的总体目标是最终促进对急诊科有效的循证干预措施的传播和实施。具体来说，第一阶段提案的初始目标是：1)利用ED专家联盟确定原型ED- olt的内容；2)利用开发和评估的迭代过程创建ED-OLT原型；3)采用随机对照试验进行可行性试点研究（n=40），以评估患者的知识增益、对ED基础内容的回忆以及对进一步培训特定ED循证行为方案的兴趣。如果第一阶段的可行性测试成功，我们将在第二阶段大幅扩展多媒体计划及其评估。公共卫生相关性：饮食失调（EDs）是一种普遍的、使人衰弱的疾病，尽管存在有效的治疗方法，但大多数人没有得到或没有得到充分的治疗。增加循证治疗的可用性需要广泛提供有效的培训材料，以促进临床医生对这些方法的使用。该项目旨在开发和测试一种治疗ED的创新互动在线培训，首先召集ED专家组成联盟，制定ED治疗的共性蓝图；该蓝图将作为在线培训课程原型（ED- olt）的基础，旨在作为进一步深入的ED循证治疗培训的先决条件。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant application to support the development of an innovative, online training program to aid in the dissemination of evidence-based Eating Disorder (ED) treatments (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED) . The current application represents a cooperative partnership between 1) the co-PI (Safer) and co-Investigator (Agras), who with a consortium of Eating Disorders experts, will develop and evaluate the efficacy of an online training program (Online Training in the Fundamentals of Eating Disorders Treatment; ED-OLT) and 2) the small business, Behavioral Tech Research, Inc., a company dedicated to disseminating effective psychosocial treatments. The overarching goal of this project is to ultimately facilitate the dissemination and implementation of efficacious evidence-based interventions for EDs. Specifically, the initial aims of this Phase I proposal are to: 1) determine content for the prototype ED-OLT utilizing an consortium of ED experts; 2) create the prototype ED-OLT using an iterative process of development and evaluation; and, 3) conduct a feasibility pilot study (n=40) using a randomized controlled trial to evaluate gains in knowledge, recall of the foundational ED content, and interest in pursuing further training in evidence-based behavioral protocols for specific EDs. In the event of a successful Phase I test of feasibility, we will substantially expand the multimedia program and its evaluation in Phase II. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Eating Disorders (EDs) are pervasive and debilitating disorders, for which the majority of individuals receive no or inadequate treatment, despite the fact that efficacious treatments exist. Increasing the availability of evidence-based treatments requires widely available and effective training materials that will facilitate the utilization of such approaches by practicing clinicians. This project aims to develop and test an innovative interactive online training in treating EDs by first convening a consortium of ED experts to develop a blueprint of commonalities across ED treatments; this blueprint will serve as the basis for a prototype online training course (ED-OLT) designed to serve as a prerequisite to further in-depth ED training in evidence-based treatments for EDs.
