This study will employ a mixed methods Type II effectiveness-implementation hybrid research design.In collaboration with the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), this longitudinal study will be conducted across the New York City (NYC) OMH licensed child behavioral health clinic system (n=134). The investigators will use mixed methods, and involve 268 providers and 2,688 adult caregivers of youth (7 to 11 years). The following Specific Aims guide this study: To examine 1) short-term and longitudinal impact of MFGs on urban youth with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) (replication); 2) family-level mediators (e.g. parenting, family process) of child outcomes; 3) clinic (readiness to adopt an innovation, leadership support and climate) and provider level moderators (preparedness, motivation and fidelity) of MFG implementation and integration and; 4) the impact of Clinic Implementation Teams (CIT) on clinic and provider level moderators of MFG implementation and integration. In this Randomized Controlled Trial, clinics will be stratified by borough (Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island) and randomly assigned within borough to 3 study conditions: 1) MFG+CITs; 2) MFG (with standard research training and consultation) or; 3) Standard Care. Data will be collected baseline, 8 and 16 weeks and 6 mo. follow-up) in Phase 1 (focus on implementation) and Phase II (integration).
