In partnership with UC San Diego and San Diego State University, we are conducting the signature R01 of a NIMH ALACRITY Center, “Center for Team Effectiveness to Accelerate EBP Implementation in Children’s Mental Health Services.” The goal of this project is to apply team-based implementation strategies to optimize implementation and effectiveness of the Collaborative Life Skills Program across multiple public school districts.
The project aims to:
- integrate stakeholder feedback in the development of a team-enhanced approach to support CLS implementation in schools
- evaluate the effectiveness of the team-enhanced version of CLS, relative to standard CLS, on implementation and child outcomes
- use mixed-methods to examine if key team mechanisms are engaged by the team-enhanced implementation, relative to standard CLS implementation, and mediate its effects on implementation and child outcomes
Findings have the potential to transform school-based services for children with ADHD through key team mechanisms.
The project is funded by a 5-year (2022-2027) NIMH Alacrity Center, “Center for Team Effectiveness to Accelerate EBP Implementation in Children’s Mental Health Services” P50 Alacrity Center Grant MH126231-01A1 (Center PIs: Brookman-Frazee & Aarons; SDSU Subcontract PI: Villodas; UCSF Subcontract PI: Pfiffner).
