About this trial
The goal of this project is to demonstrate digital training efficacy at scale and commercial readiness.
This pilot project will advance piloted digital training programs for CRAFT and maximize scalability. In this project, investigators will:
Aim 1: Optimize the digital CRAFT training product based on data and feedback from the pilot and commercialization advisors.
Aim 2: Conduct a fully powered randomized control trial of 3 levels of digital training (Level 1 - Digital tutorial only \[T\]; Level 2 - Tutorial \& digital training materials for self-study \[TM\]; Level 3 - Tutorial, digital materials, feedback and coaching \[TMC\]) to examine the effects of training on CRAFT knowledge, fidelity, and plus IP treatment entry/retention and counselor skill pre- and post-tutorial, at 12 weeks and at 6 months.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
CRAFT Procedure Fidelity
CRAFT performance on the mock sessions observed by trained coders rating performance of each CRAFT treatment entry procedure (6 items), homework procedures (2 items), overall CRAFT approach (2 items), and general clinical skill (4 items) on a 5-point scale (i.e., 1 =poor; 3 =satisfactory; 5 =excellent). Total score will be calculated across all 14 items for each participant. Average scores on each procedure and in total will be calculated for each participant group at baseline and at follow-ups. Scores can range from 6 - 30 on treatment entry; 2 - 10 on homework and CRAFT approach; 4 - 20 on general clinical skill; and 14 - 70 on the overall total.
Secondary outcomes
3 months
Measuring the proficiency with which participants answer questions about the CRAFT approach. Measuring the proficiency with which participants answer questions about the CRAFT approach. The 20-item CRAFT Knowledge Test is scored by calculating the number of correct answers for each individual and then averaging scores across participants within each group (T, TM, TMC). Scores could range from 0 - 20.
Program Implementation Potential Scale
Measured by program implementation potential questionnaire containing 25 Items; responses on 1-6 scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree).
Other outcomes
New Treatment Entry: Identified Patient Treatment Entry Status
Participants report whether their client's loved one has attended any treatment for their opioid use problem since the baseline assessment by answering questions regarding participation in treatment. In addition, reports of treatment entry to WTV staff were categorized as treatment entry. The outcome is the proportion of participants reporting that their client's loved one (identified patient; IP) entered new treatment
