Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Treatment Fidelity

    Treatment fidelity comprises two dimensions: adherence to the procedures of IPT and level of competence in applying these procedures.

    up to 53 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Student Symptom

    up to 53 months

Study Arms (2)

High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainer

EXPERIMENTAL

One therapist from each counseling center randomized to this arm will be selected to become the trainer and will be trained to train their colleagues.

Behavioral: High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainer

Low Intensity Strategy: Expert Consultation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The IPT expert from Washington University will travel to all counseling centers randomized to this condition and train all participating therapists on site and be available for monthly phone consultation for up to one year following training on site.

Behavioral: Low Intensity Strategy: Expert Consultation

Interventions

High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainerBEHAVIORAL

Trainers in the high intensity condition will attend two separate workshops at Washington University in St. Louis designed to teach participants to conduct IPT and then to train IPT. Following participation in the first, two-day workshop, each trainer will return to their site and be encouraged to treat at least two cases with eating disorders or depression, audio recording each session. Trainers will then return to Washington University to be trained in how to train their other staff members in IPT.

High Intensity Strategy: Train-the-trainer
Low Intensity Strategy: Expert ConsultationBEHAVIORAL

Investigators will provide a two-day workshop on IPT at each site randomized to this condition to train therapists to use IPT for the treatment of Eating Disorders and depression.

Low Intensity Strategy: Expert Consultation
