What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates a new version of the Families Moving Forward (FMF) Connect app, designed for mental health providers to assist families dealing with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The study compares two training methods: one involving tele-mentoring sessions and another that is self-directed through an online platform. Providers will learn to screen for prenatal alcohol exposure, diagnose FASD, and support families using the app. The trial aims to assess provider participation and outcomes across different training approaches.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the ability of mental health providers to effectively support families affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, similar training interventions have shown promise in improving provider capabilities in other healthcare contexts.
