Summary
Podcasts offer a new way for healthcare providers to access continuing education, overcoming barriers to traditional programs. The ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast successfully delivered substance use disorder and behavioral health training to providers.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Digital Health
- Public Health
Background:
- Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) utilizes videoconferencing to connect healthcare providers with experts, successfully reaching rural and underserved areas.
- While effective, Project ECHO continuing education (CE) programs face accessibility barriers for healthcare professionals.
- Podcasts present an asynchronous medium to potentially overcome these barriers and enhance CE access.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development of the ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast.
- To assess the podcast's preliminary effectiveness in delivering continuing education.
- To increase accessibility of substance use disorder, pain, and behavioral health training for rural and frontier providers.
Main Methods:
- Podcast episodes featured interviews and didactic lectures, edited and reviewed by subject matter experts.
- Target audiences included healthcare providers and community members interested in behavioral health and substance use disorders.
- Listener metrics were tracked via SoundCloud RSS feed, CE survey completion, and iECHO.
Main Results:
- The inaugural season included 14 episodes totaling 626 minutes of CE material.
- The podcast garnered 2441 listens across 14 Idaho cities.
- Sixty-three healthcare providers claimed CE credits, with social workers being the largest professional group (35%).
Conclusions:
- Preliminary evidence suggests podcasts can effectively provide healthcare providers with accessible CE opportunities.
- The ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast demonstrates provider engagement and CE credit claims.
- Project ECHO programs should consider podcasts as a supplementary platform for material dissemination.

The human ear cannot distinguish between two sources of sound if they happen to reach within a specific time interval, typically 0.1 seconds apart. More than this, and they are perceived as separate sources.
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...

5.2K
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...

01:15Auditory Pathway
4.5K
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.

01:18Errors in Taping

Errors in taping arise from multiple factors that can significantly impact measurement accuracy in surveying. Misalignment of the tape, often due to human error, is one primary source. A skilled rear tapeman, using a telescope, can help correct alignment by guiding the head tapeman; however, human limitations still lead to small inaccuracies. These errors may include misplacement of pins or inaccurate tape readings due to common visual confusions, such as mistaking a six for a nine. Such...

01:21Introduction to Test of Independence
2.1K
In statistics, the term independence means that one can directly obtain the probability of any event involving both variables by multiplying their individual probabilities. Tests of independence are chi-square tests involving the use of a contingency table of observed (data) values.
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:
