Sponsor's own description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the dissemination and implementation process of two transdiagnostic psychological interventions (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders-DBT-SUD and Unified Protocol-UP) to treat alcohol addiction by mental health practitioners in the Spanish National Health System. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Are there differences before and after receiving DBT-SUD and UP training in the attitudes toward evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs), level of burnout and organizational climate and readiness to implement the interventions in mental health practitioners working with alcohol addiction?

What is the degree of acceptability and intention to use the interventions in clinical practice with people with alcohol addiction of the practitioners after each training (DBT-SUD and UP)?

In what degree the implementation outcomes (adoption, reach, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, sustainability) will be achieved by the practitioners implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice?

What are the main barriers and facilitators that practitioners will encounter during the process of implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice?

What variables will predict a successful implementation considering previous characteristics of the professionals and the organizational outcomes?

The study comprises two phases. In the first phase, mental health professionals working on addiction services of the Spanish National Health System will be randomly assigned to receive training in one intervention and then the other (DBT-SUD and UP) and will be evaluated before and after each training. In the second phase, participants will be randomly assigned to implement one intervention first and then the other in their workplaces with people with alcohol addiction and will be also assessed before and after the implementation. Qualitative and quantitate outcome measures will be analyzed using a Mixed- Methods-Design.
