Brief Summary

In a previous research study, the investigators adapted an evidence-based team training intervention for healthcare settings (TeamSTEPPS) to fit the needs and context of Child Advocacy Center multidisciplinary teams. This study is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of the adapted training, TeamTRACS (Team Training in Roles, Awareness, Communication, and Support). This hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation study will test the effectiveness of TeamTRACS and pilot a self-guided approach to implementing TeamTRACS in low-resource settings.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Change in Teamwork Knowledge From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up

  Survey questions assessing knowledge taught in TeamTRACS will be assessed with multiple choice questions. The percent of correct answers (range 0-100%) will be calculated.

  Baseline, 3-month follow-up (Month 7, 3 months after training workshop)

• Change in Teamwork Skill Use From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up

  Frequency of teamwork skill use will be assessed with survey items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (range 1-5). Scores will be averaged; higher scores indicate more frequent skill use.

  Baseline, 3-month follow-up (Month 7, 3 months after training workshop)

• Acceptability of Self-guided Implementation

  Perceived acceptability of the self-guided implementation process will be assessed with items from the Acceptability of Intervention Measure. Each item is rated on a 1-5 Likert scale. Scores will be averaged; higher scores indicate more positive perceptions.

  Beginning, midpoint, and end of self-guided implementation process (Months 0, 5, & 7)

• Appropriateness of Self-guided Implementation

  Perceived appropriateness of the self-guided implementation process will be assessed with items from the Intervention Appropriateness Measure. Each item is rated on a 1-5 Likert scale. Scores will be averaged; higher scores indicate more positive perceptions.

  Beginning, midpoint, and end of self-guided implementation process (Months 0, 5, & 7)

• Feasibility of Self-guided Implementation

  Perceived feasibility of the self-guided implementation process will be assessed with items from the Feasibility of Intervention Measure. Each item is rated on a 1-5 Likert scale. Scores will be averaged; higher scores indicate more positive perceptions.

  Beginning, midpoint, and end of self-guided implementation process (Months 0, 5, & 7)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Change in Team Functioning From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up: Psychological Safety

  Baseline, 3-month follow-up (Month 7, 3 months after training workshop)

• Change in Team Functioning From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up: Learning Behavior

  Baseline, 3-month follow-up (Month 7, 3 months after training workshop)

• Change in Team Performance From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up

  Baseline, 3-month follow-up (Month 7, 3 months after training workshop)

Study Arms (2)

TeamTRACS (Team Training in Roles, Awareness, Communication, and Support)

EXPERIMENTAL

CACs randomized to the intervention condition (n = 4) will participate in TeamTRACS. CACs will receive an implementation guide to assist in preparing for and maximizing the impact of training.

Behavioral: TeamTRACS

Waitlist Comparison

NO INTERVENTION

CACs randomized to the waitlist comparison (n = 2) will participate in TeamTRACS approximately 4 months after CACs in the intervention condition.

Interventions

TeamTRACS BEHAVIORAL

TeamTRACS is a team training intervention adapted from TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety), a widely used evidence-based team training developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. TeamTRACS targets knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to team member roles, shared awareness, communication, mutual support, and goal-setting. TeamTRACS is structured, easy to use, flexible in length and intensity, and requires few resources. It incorporates didactic instruction, discussion, and interactive activities and can be delivered virtually or in-person.
