Summary

This trial is testing two ways of training clinicians in a family-based approach to treating restrictive eating disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for licensed mental health providers in California who treat patients with Medicaid and work in a participating county. Unlicensed providers can join if they have a licensed supervisor. It's not open to students or learners.
What is being tested?
The study compares two training methods for treating restrictive eating disorders: web-based training versus live, in-person training. Mental health clinicians will be randomly assigned to one of these methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves professional training rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience differences in learning effectiveness or satisfaction.
