Abstract:
We examined the effectiveness of reducing response effort and an e-mail prompt for increasing preparedness of 17 therapists for a social skills group in a human services organization. We evaluated whether participants knew the correct lession and sport and whether they felt prepared for the session via a paper survey. The Performance Diagnostic Checklist-Human Services indicated deficiencies in all four domains. The most significant barriers were prompts and access to materials. Results showed that the reduced response effort to access materials and email prompt increased employee preparedness compared to the no e-mail condition.
