Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study is designed to develop and validate an instrument to measure quality and adherence to IPT for research and training purposes. The measure is now being used to evaluate training in IPT.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Depression	Other: training in IPT	N/A

Detailed Description

The study is a randomized trial comparing 4 different methods of follow-up training in IPT. Following initial 2-day training, participant therapists will be randomized to either individual supervision, group supervision, an internet-based training program, or autodidactic training. Participants will be followed for a year to determine their use of IPT, outcomes with patients, and adherence and quality of IPT in 4 case portfolios. The adherence measure for IPT developed in Phase I of the project is being used as the gold standard measure of IPT fidelity.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Individual Supervision in IPT Bi-weekly individual case supervision in IPT	Other: training in IPT; Follow-up training in IPT to determine which best enhances fidelity
Experimental: Group Supervision in IPT Bi-weekly group supervision in IPT in groups of 4-6 therapists	Other: training in IPT; Follow-up training in IPT to determine which best enhances fidelity
Experimental: Internet-Based Training in IPT Access to internet-based training in IPT to review information learned in initial 2-day training	Other: training in IPT; Follow-up training in IPT to determine which best enhances fidelity
No Intervention: Autodidactic Training in IPT Clinicians allowed access to training materials and can engage in self-study
