Summary

This trial will test a brief online training to reduce healthcare providers' implicit bias to help ensure equitable access, delivery & benefit of evidence-based practices for Black & Latinx youth mental health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for school mental health clinicians who work with a significant number of Black or Latinx students and have not been exposed to the training being tested. It's also for Black or Latinx youths entering ongoing treatment, and their primary caregivers must be able to report on their well-being.

What is being tested?

The study tests VIBRANT, an online training designed to reduce healthcare providers' implicit bias and improve equitable delivery of care. It aims to see if this can help clinicians adopt and maintain high-quality practices like Measurement-Based Care in schools.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience discomfort or emotional responses when confronting personal biases during the training.
