Training on use of evidence may increase the adoption of evidence-based strategies in communities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Prevention Programs That Work training. This article summarizes the training modules and evaluation results from three trainings conducted in Spring 2009. The training teaches practitioners from community-based organizations to locate, choose, adopt or adapt, and evaluate an evidence-based program. Participants completed a pretest and posttest that covered competencies related to use of evidence, demographics, and feedback on training. A total of 47 participants attended three trainings. They represented coordinators, directors, nurses, and outreach workers. Participants showed the greatest increases in the following competencies: locate evidence-based resources, narrow search results of potential programs or strategies to reflect programmatic specifics, define steps in the adaptation process, and discuss factors during each phase of implementation. According to participants, the most useful aspects of the training content were the areas that covered program implementation, adaptation, and evaluation. A workshop can increase competencies to use evidence-based strategies among community practitioners. Building competencies is a critical initial step in promoting the dissemination of evidence-based strategies and helping practitioners use a systematic process to select an evidence-based intervention and implement the programs with fidelity.
关于证据使用的培训可能会增加社区中基于证据的策略的采用率。本研究的目的是评估“有效预防项目”培训。本文总结了2009年春季进行的三次培训的培训模块和评估结果。该培训教导来自社区组织的从业者如何查找、选择、采用或调整以及评估一个基于证据的项目。参与者完成了一项涵盖与证据使用、人口统计学以及培训反馈相关能力的预测试和后测试。共有47名参与者参加了三次培训。他们包括协调员、主任、护士和外展工作者。参与者在以下能力方面有最大提升：查找基于证据的资源、缩小潜在项目或策略的搜索结果以反映项目具体细节、定义调整过程中的步骤以及讨论实施各阶段的因素。据参与者称，培训内容最有用的方面是涵盖项目实施、调整和评估的领域。一个研讨会可以提高社区从业者使用基于证据的策略的能力。培养能力是促进基于证据的策略传播以及帮助从业者使用系统流程选择基于证据的干预措施并忠实地实施项目的关键初始步骤。
