Interventions

  • Cognitive Behavioral Coaching Training — BEHAVIORAL
    Behavioral technicians will engage in a structured, deliberate-practice-based training program designed to enhance competence in evidence-based interventions (EBIs) over a 10-week period. The program begins with an initial seminar that provides an overview of the training framework, key research supporting deliberate practice, and specific intervention techniques. Each participant is assigned a coach-either a clinical psychologist or a licensed MSW with expertise in the EBI Toolkit-who will provide individualized guidance throughout the training. During the weekly coaching sessions, participants will review session notes, engage in structured practice exercises, and work toward mastering the skills and competencies necessary for effective intervention delivery. Weekly homework assignments will allow participants to practice each tool as though they were working with an SM client, followed by self-reflections that will be discussed in coaching sessions.

Study Details

Sub-clinical behavioral health services in the military are performed by BH technicians, who receive minimal training. Due to this, embedding more technicians in military units is unlikely to benefit service members. Giving technicians training in, and access to, evidence-based interventions (EBI) could make their work more effective. The proposed study is a training trial examining the efficacy of the full integrated operational support (IOS) toolkit (evidence-based interventions for behavioral health), relative to routine care using standard resources, as a prevention resource for active-duty airmen.
