Methods: This study is an evaluation of a series of five training modules for PSWs designed in collaboration with PSW consultants. Evaluation consisted of pre-/posttest knowledge questions and qualitative feedback from individuals who completed all five modules. Results: Knowledge scores increased for all five modules. Qualitative feedback was largely positive, with participants suggesting that integrating PSWs into the module development team made the finished product more relevant to PSWs. Conclusions: Findings affirmed the importance of providing training designed by and for PSWs working with people with substance use disorders and suggested that PSW confidence can be improved through targeted training. This training development model demonstrates promise for future substance use training programs for PSWs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
