The study is designed to develop and validate an instrument to measure quality and adherence to IPT for research and training purposes. The measure is now being used to evaluate training in IPT.
The study is a randomized trial comparing 4 different methods of follow-up training in IPT. Following initial 2-day training, participant therapists will be randomized to either individual supervision, group supervision, an internet-based training program, or autodidactic training. Participants will be followed for a year to determine their use of IPT, outcomes with patients, and adherence and quality of IPT in 4 case portfolios. The adherence measure for IPT developed in Phase I of the project is being used as the gold standard measure of IPT fidelity.
