This study will visit 4 community mental health clinics in Washington state and work with clinic staff to find out if staff are regularly evaluating clinical outcomes using questionnaires (which is also called measurement-based care or MBC). The study team will partner with clinic staff to find out what makes using questionnaires difficult and then plan to improve the use of questionnaires. The study activities will include trainings, interviews, collaborative discussions, and interactive activities.

Rapid Ethnographic Assessment (REA). REA will be conducted over 2-day site visits at each clinic, following a kickoff training on the principles of MBC. This team will conduct ethnographic observations on both days, using primarily unobtrusive techniques on Day 1, documenting observations of activities (e.g., clinician documentation), interactions (e.g., client check in), and events (e.g., staff meeting) using written and audio-recorded field notes. The investigators will interview staff for responses to the "example" question (for instance, "Could you show me how you use MBC in your work and describe what you are doing?") described above. The investigators expect up to 30 interviews per clinic: 30-45 minutes for therapists, 15 minutes for staff. The investigators will synthesize learnings from observations, interviews, and surveys in a debriefing session, using notes to generate a list of unique barriers. Day 2 will be focused observations of therapists shadowed by team members to document, track, and note the duration and location of activities, guided by barriers identified in the evidence review and Day 1 learnings. The investigators will conduct semi-structured, focused interviews based on Day 1 learnings, with therapists (therapists, supervisors, psychiatrists) and staff (up to 30). Day 2 interviews will be longer (15-30 minutes), audio recorded.

Design Kits. To complement REA and collect real-time data from therapists and youth, at the end of site visits, the investigators will leave design kit materials including disposable cameras, journals, pens and prompts to use to describe using MBC by taking pictures, make diary entries, draw maps, and record images. The investigators will ask therapists (5-8 per clinic) to participate.

Barrier Prioritization. The investigators will engage 5-8 therapists and/or staff in the prioritization activity for a 2-hour facilitated group activity. The activity will occur in-person (Site Visit 2) but could be delivered virtually if needed. Barriers identified through the rapid evidence review, rapid ethnographic assessment, and design kits (50+ expected) will be prioritized using a participant-engaged method.

Causal Pathway Diagramming. For each clinic, the investigators will develop Causal Pathway Diagrams (CPDs) for the top 3 prioritized barriers. The goal is to assess how well each implementation strategy is matched to a prioritized barrier, based on its mechanism of action, and to clarify the causal chain of events that must take place to achieve MBC fidelity.

Focus Groups to Improve IMPACT methods. The investigators will engage partners in a semi-structured focus group to capture their experience engaging in all IMPACT Center methods in the 3 site visits to inform further toolkit refinement. A facilitator not previously engaged in any of the activities will conduct a 60-minute focus group to solicit reactions to all aspects of IMPACT's methods, including the steps and personnel requirements of each method, and their output (e.g., prioritized barriers; utility of the information captured in the CPDs).

AIM 2: Compare MBC fidelity post IMPACT Center methods deployment versus historical controls.

The clinician self-report measure is a simple, quick, and homegrown self-report tool based upon the Collect, Share, Act conceptualization of MBC fidelity. The creation of this survey was guided by a need for something brief and pragmatic, and no self-report measures to our knowledge are (1) brief, (2) pragmatic, and (3) assess fidelity to the three main components of MBC. The survey asks clinicians to report (1) their approximate youth caseload in the last 6 months, and the percentage of youth patients with whom they have (2) collected data at least every two sessions, (3) shared data over the treatment course, and (4) acted on these processes to change the direction of treatment. Clinicians will complete this survey over REDCap. The study team will assess the internal reliability, concurrent validity, and convergent validity of the measure once data collection ends [41]. A copy of this measure is available from the first author.

The study will will present descriptive statistics to describe MBC fidelity at each of the three time points. The study will use a repeated measures analysis of variance to analyze whether fidelity to components of MBC changed from baseline (6 months after enrollment) to 3 months after active implementation, and finally 6 months after implementation.
