Summary
Busy clinicians can effectively increase their knowledge of substance use interventions through a flexible online educational program. This training improved understanding of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for all participants.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Substance Use Disorders
Background:
- Healthcare providers face challenges balancing clinical duties with continuous learning.
- The COVID-19 pandemic, opioid crisis, and rising alcohol/drug use highlight knowledge gaps in substance use interventions.
- Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is crucial for managing substance use.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a self-paced online educational program for SBIRT.
- To assess knowledge acquisition among healthcare providers regarding substance use management.
- To determine if completion pace impacts learning outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A self-paced online educational module on SBIRT was developed and delivered.
- 169 healthcare learners participated in the program.
- Pre- and post-test knowledge scores were analyzed.
Main Results:
- All learners demonstrated increased post-test knowledge scores.
- Knowledge gains were consistent regardless of the learner's completion pace.
- The online module effectively enhanced clinicians' ability to manage substance use.
Conclusions:
- A self-paced online SBIRT educational program is an effective method for increasing clinician knowledge.
- Flexible online learning accommodates busy schedules and interrupted learning sessions.
- Future versions could incorporate clinical simulations to further boost competency.

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

01:14Time Course of Drug Effect

The progression of a drug's impact can be analyzed by examining both the concentration-time course and the effect-time course. The concentration-time course is determined by the drug's half-life and is influenced by factors such as its pharmacokinetics, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The effect of the drug is often related to its concentration in the plasma and is calculated using the maximum drug effect and the plasma concentration that generates 50...

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

01:08Timing and Consequences on Behavior

In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective.
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
