It is often difficult for evidence-based practices (EBPs) to find their way into addiction treatment programs. One goal of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Clinical Trials Network (CTN) is to disseminate these EBPs into community treatment programs. The Southwest Node of CTN hosted a series of 13 local workshops in EBPs led by experts in the topic areas. Participants (N ϭ 327) were asked to complete an online evaluation of the training with a follow-up rate of 75.8%. Respondents reported that the trainings had been applied in their workplace. Qualitative analysis revealed themes of gratitude and a need for additional training opportunities. Participant enthusiasm for training was indicated by the willingness to travel up to a thousand miles and independently pay for travel expenses. Frontline providers are aware of EBPs and eager for further trainings. Future studies should include formal assessments of training needs and measures of skill acquisition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
