Optimizing CBT Implementation among Community Providers Through Internet-based Consultation and Networking (i-CAN) - PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this exploratory/developmental (R21) project is to advance the uptake of cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based intervention (EBI) for youth anxiety problems, by community-based providers. Using readily available, commercial-grade software, we will develop a highly replicable remote (online) peer consultation and support hub. This hub, termed Internet-based Consultation and Networking [i-CAN], will be developed with input from stakeholders, including community providers, using a participatory implementation workgroup approach. We will then test the feasibility and preliminary impact of i-CAN in the context of a pilot randomized controlled trial with a diverse sample of providers.

This implementation gap is especially prominent for youth who live in rural areas, communities of color, and low-resources settings.3–5 We are testing i-CAN in a large community that is characterized by rurality and poverty, and which is highly racially diverse, because remote peer consultation may be especially beneficial for providers who cannot otherwise access in-person support to improve their skills. As such, this project addresses disparities by improving access to EBI resources and tools among the providers who work in under-served communities. In addition to high
