Do stigma and efficacy mediate the association between training and suicide prevention behavior among Army noncommissioned officers?

“…However, we did not find a significant effect of training method on these potential barriers to difficult conversations. Kendall, 2010;Hepner et al, 2018;Karlin et al, 2012;Ravitz et al, 2013). It may be that we did not find a significant effect due to the way this training feature was operationalized in our study.…”

“…Respondents who had been trained on at least one soft skill were also asked about the teaching techniques that were used in soft skills trainings, using an item developed for this survey. The item included 10 potential training methods (e.g., classroom presentations, quizzes or knowledge checks, supervision/consultation/mentoring/ coaching after the initial training), which were based on a systematic review related to therapist skills training (Beidas & Kendall, 2010) and a tool developed to assess if training in therapy skills is consistent with the research evidence (Hepner et al, 2018). We derived two binary variables from this question.…”

“…Though volume of training might be one important aspect of suicide prevention training, it is important to recognize that not all trainings are created equal. Research has suggested that trainings are more likely to be effective when they are substantively relevant, include interactive components, and provide trainees with supervision or coaching on how to implement the skills after the training (Beidas & Kendall, 2010; Hepner et al., 2018; Lyon et al., 2011). However, there remains a need for more empirical research examining whether these training features lead to behavior change.…”

Training During a Pandemic: Successes, Challenges, and Practical Guidance From a Virtual Facilitated Learning Collaborative Training Program for Written Exposure Therapy

“…Traditional training models have involved individual clinicians either attending a workshop only or attending a workshop, often conducted in person, then participating in a period of clinical consultation that includes support on training cases (LoSavio et al., 2019). Best practices for competency‐based training involve didactic training and consultation based on a review of work samples (Hepner et al., 2018).…”

Evaluation of a Trauma-Informed Program for Juvenile Justice-Involved Youth: The Pilot Program at Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center

“…For example, behavioral health staff noted they would have benefited from more in-depth training on certain topics because some of the basic princi ples of trauma-informed care were already familiar. Moreover, providing staff members with ample opportunity to apply the concepts introduced in training (e.g., through applied examples, demonstrations, roleplays) may increase the likelihood that they build desired skills (Hepner et al, 2018).…”
