Summary

Implementing a Skills-Based Caregiver Training (Caregivers FIRST): Function QUERI 2.0 aims to compare implementation strategies for large-scale spread of Caregivers FIRST, a group training for friend or family caregivers of Veterans. The goal is to use a type III effectiveness-implementation hybrid design framework to compare continuation of implementation strategies for 24 sites that do not meet implementation adoption benchmarks.

Interventions

OTHER

Implementation Strategy: Foundational REP

Among Caregivers FIRST sites that do not meet implementation adoption benchmarks, the goal is to test implementation intensification approaches, specifically Foundational REP vs. Enhanced REP. The investigators propose that low intensity implementation support that promotes adapting Caregivers FIRST for context and provides tools for ongoing Caregivers FIRST evaluation (defined as foundational REP), will be sufficient for some but not all sites to successfully incorporate Caregivers FIRST into routine practice.

OTHER

Implementation Strategy: Enhanced REP

Among Caregivers FIRST sites that do not meet implementation adoption benchmarks, the goal is to test implementation intensification approaches, specifically Foundational REP vs. Enhanced REP. The investigators posit that higher intensity strategies (defined as Enhanced REP) that directly influence teams' capacity and skills to effectively self-organize and problem-solve will lead to higher implementation adoption, penetration, fidelity, and value.
