Online Training in the Fundamentals of Eating Disorders Treatment

描述（由申请人提供）：这是第一阶段小企业创新研究（SBIR）资助申请，以支持创新的在线培训计划的开发，以帮助传播循证饮食失调（艾德）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疗法。目前的申请代表了1）共同PI（安全）和共同研究者（Agras）之间的合作伙伴关系，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心理治疗的公司。该项目的总体目标是最终促进传播和实施有效的循证ED干预措施。具体地，该阶段I提议的初始目标是：1）利用艾德专家的联盟确定原型ED-OLT的内容; 2）使用开发和评估的迭代过程创建原型ED-OLT;以及，3）使用随机对照试验进行可行性试点研究（n=40），以评估知识的获得，基础艾德内容的回忆，并有兴趣对特定ED进行基于证据的行为方案的进一步培训。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大多媒体项目及其评估。公共卫生相关性：进食障碍（ED）是一种广泛存在的使人衰弱的疾病，尽管存在有效的治疗方法，但大多数人没有接受治疗或治疗不足。增加循证治疗的可用性需要广泛提供和有效的培训材料，这将有助于实践临床医生利用这些方法。本项目旨在通过首先召集艾德专家联盟开发一个艾德治疗共性的蓝图，开发和测试一种治疗ED的创新互动式在线培训;该蓝图将作为原型在线培训课程（ED-OLT）的基础，该原型在线培训课程旨在作为进一步深入艾德培训的先决条件，以循证治疗ED。

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.
