“…In the context of sexual risk reduction counseling, “train-the-trainer” involves identifying a staff member who has some expertise in HIV/STI counseling and teaching that person how to train other staff in delivery of the counseling program. The “train the trainer” implementation strategy is considered a good choice for agencies with limited financial resources, such as CBOs and non-profit organizations [ 35 , 36 ]. Complete details of the intervention and the RCT are found elsewhere [ 28 , 37 ].…”

ObjectiveThis study examined service provider perceptions of requirements for successful sustainment of an efficacious intervention for preventing HIV/AIDS and STIs in female sex workers (FSWs) in Mexico.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 77 leaders and counselors from 12 community-based reproductive health clinics located throughout Mexico participating in a large hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial to scale-up the use of Mujer Segura, a psychoeducational intervention designed to promote condom use and enhance safer sex negotiation skills among FSWs.ResultsFive sets of requirements for sustainment were identified: 1) characteristics of the provider, including competence in delivering the intervention, need for continued technical support and assistance from outside experts, and satisfaction with addressing the needs of this population; 2) characteristics of the clients (i.e., FSWs), including client need and demand for services and incentives for participation; 3) characteristics of the organization, including its mission, benefits, and operations; 4) characteristics of the outer setting, including financial support and relationship with the community-based organization’s central offices, and transportation and security in areas where FSWs live and work; and 5) outcomes associated with the intervention itself, including a reduction of risk through education and increased outreach through referrals from FSWs who received the intervention.ConclusionsAlthough the requirements for successful sustainment of interventions like Mujer Segura are consistent with the factors identified in many models of implementation, the results illustrate the importance of local context in assigning priority to these model elements and suggest that the five categories are not discrete entities but interconnected.

“…Though studies assessing the long-term outcomes of public health disaster preparedness educational interventions are uncommon, 2 other studies reported similar findings: 1 year after a training, attendees had retained their knowledge and/or confidence in the content provided. 12,13 The VISIBLE project focused on 4 tools available for free through the NLM: WISER, REMM, CHEMM, and TOXNET. These tools can be used for both pre-event planning and for responding to actual events.…”

“…14 An study on an online TTT program aimed at Bangladeshi health professionals reported that there was almost no dissemination of knowledge beyond the initial groups of individuals trained; the reason for the lack of follow-up was postulated to be a lack of confidence in the knowledge gained. 13 A statewide TTT program focused on public health preparedness in Maine involved 118 individuals in the initial training, and only 20% of those disseminated their training to others. 16 The findings from the VISIBLE program are in line with the better results reported in the New York TTT study in terms of the percentage of workshop attendees who disseminated the training to others and the approximate number of people educated in the second generation.…”

Objective:To increase knowledge of National Library of Medicine resources by using a train-the-trainer approach.Methods:Workshops were held in spring 2016 to increase knowledge of 4 National Library of Medicine tools. Data were collected before the workshop and immediately, 3 months, and 1 year after the workshop. Knowledge questions were scored as 1 point per question; an aggregated knowledge score could range from 0 to 16 points. A paired t test assessed the change in knowledge from before to after the workshop.Results:Four workshops were hosted, with a total of 74 attendees. The response rate for the surveys ranged from 50% to 100%. Knowledge scores changed significantly from 7.2 to 11.9 (t = 15, P < .001). One year after the workshop, more of the participants reported having informally trained others (56.8%) than reported providing 1 or more formal training session (8.1%)(P < .001).Conclusion:Objective measures of knowledge and information dissemination showed that the National Library of Medicine workshop was successful and resulted in both short- and long-term gains. This workshop could be repeated with other populations to further disseminate information regarding the National Library of Medicine tools, which could help improve disaster response.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi validar um instrumento de avaliação de efetividade da formação profissional, ofertada em cursos na modalidade de educação a distância (EaD), no que se refere aos procedimentos teóricos. Para tanto, optou-se pela utilização da técnica Delphi, com vistas à obtenção de consenso da opinião de especialistas, acerca do construto, por meio de uma série de questionários estruturados. Após duas rodadas de consulta aos especialistas, sendo 13 participantes na primeira rodada e nove na segunda rodada de aplicação da técnica Delphi, 17 itens, referentes ao desenvolvimento de habilidades, atitudes e motivação, em decorrência do curso de formação profissional ofertado na modalidade EaD, foram considerados válidos para avaliar a efetividade da formação profissional. A apresentação de evidências teóricas, acerca da validade da medida de efetividade da formação profissional ofertada no contexto da modalidade EaD, é relevante, pois poderá fomentar a discussão, reflexão e o avanço no conhecimento científico, relacionado à temática, bem como fornecer indicativos para a melhoria das políticas de oferta de cursos de formação profissional.
