Improved dissemination is critical to implementation of evidence-based practice in community behavioral healthcare settings. Web-based training modalities are a promising strategy for dissemination of evidence-based practice in community behavioral health settings. Initial and sustained engagement of these modalities in large, multidisciplinary community provider samples is not well understood. This study evaluates comparative engagement and user preferences by provider type in a web-based training platform in a large, multidisciplinary community sample of behavioral health staff in New York State. Workforce make-up among platform registrants was compared to the general NYS behavioral health workforce. Training completion by functional job type was compared to characterize user engagement and preferences. Frequently completed modules were classified by credit and requirement incentives. High initial training engagement across professional role was demonstrated, with significant differences in initial and sustained engagement by professional role. The most frequently completed modules across functional job types contained credit or requirement incentives. The analysis demonstrated that high engagement of a web-based training in a multidisciplinary provider audience can be achieved without tailoring content to specific professional roles. Overlap between frequently completed modules and incentives suggests a role for incentives in promoting engagement of web-based training. These findings further the understanding of strategies to promote large-scale dissemination of evidence-based practice in community behavioral health settings.
改善传播对于在社区行为健康环境中实施循证实践至关重要。基于网络的培训模式是在社区行为健康环境中传播循证实践的一种有前景的策略。对于这些模式在大型多学科社区提供者样本中的初始和持续参与情况，人们了解得并不充分。本研究在纽约州一个大型多学科社区行为健康工作人员样本中，通过提供者类型评估基于网络的培训平台中的比较参与情况和用户偏好。将平台注册者的劳动力构成与纽约州总体行为健康劳动力进行比较。按职能工作类型比较培训完成情况，以描述用户参与情况和偏好。对经常完成的模块按学分和要求激励进行分类。结果表明，各专业角色的初始培训参与度较高，且初始和持续参与度在专业角色之间存在显著差异。各职能工作类型中最常完成的模块包含学分或要求激励。分析表明，在多学科提供者受众中，无需针对特定专业角色定制内容，基于网络的培训也能实现高参与度。经常完成的模块与激励之间的重叠表明激励在促进基于网络的培训参与方面发挥了作用。这些发现进一步加深了对促进社区行为健康环境中循证实践大规模传播策略的理解。
