简要总结
Emotional Health Association will engage Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health providers that employ peer workers in a training and technical assistance intervention designed to support, increase, and retain an effective peer workforce. This intervention consists of a Co-Learning Collaborative, several training sessions, and the creation of Implementation Teams. Peer workers will also be encouraged to attend Recovery International, an established network of self-help support groups for mental health. Dr. Louis Brown will lead an evaluation of the efficacy of the intervention. This study will inform the use of peer workers as a component of the mental health workforce.
详细描述
Evaluation of the the intervention with the peer workforce will be conducted through administration of web-based surveys of peer workers and peer supervisors at baseline and follow-up (10 months post-baseline). These two surveys will be administered to peer workers and peer supervisors at sites enrolled in the study. A letter of informational detailing the risks of participation will accompany the survey. Individuals who do not complete the web-based survey will be invited to complete a telephone interview with the same questions. Sites (where one or more peer supervisors and peer workers are located) will be randomized to either the intervention group or standard practice control group. The intervention group will engage in Co-Learning Collaborative, several training sessions, and the creation of Implementation Teams. Peer workers from the intervention group will also be encouraged to attend Recovery International, an established network of self-help support groups for mental health. Analysis of the surveys collected from both study groups will be conducted to assess the efficacy of the intervention and provide Emotional Health Association with a final report.
