OPTED Trial

Implementation of Family-Based Treatment in Publicly-Funded Mental Health Settings
The Optimizing Provider Training in Eating Disorders (OPTED) cluster randomized trial will compare training methods in family-based treatment for behavioral health providers serving youth insured by Medicaid with eating disorders. Twenty-five publicly-funded agencies across six counties in California were randomized to receive either a live two-day training or a self-paced online training in family-based treatment, both of which incorporated information and adaptations relevant to diverse populations and publicly-funded settings. Following training completion, participants were able to opt-in to receive ongoing consultation with an expert in family-based treatment. Analysis of the trial is currently underway.
