Abstract:
This article discusses the findings of a pilot study that assessed the capacity of a digital, self-paced, asynchronous Prevention Specialist Certification Course to prepare an academically diverse group of ten participants to engage in substance misuse prevention activities and to pass the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium's Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS) Examination. Conducted in Muncie, Indiana between March and June of 2023, the study expands on previous research exploring the efficacy of curriculum-based prevention training. Results of the study suggest that with an 80% exam pass rate and an 18% improvement between student pre and post test scores, the course successfully achieved its identified goals and should be tested with a larger and more diverse audience to strengthen the findings.
