This study was designed to evaluate the outcomes of a national summer 2020 'Opioids and the Workplace' Prevention and Response (OWPR) Train-the-Trainer (TTT) and Leadership training tool and program at 6-month follow-up. The TTT program goal is to help instructors plan and conduct education and training on opioids and the workplace awareness. The Leadership program goal is to help trainees, who are in a position to take organizational level actions, implement policies, and programs related to opioid and substance use and injury prevention.
Trainees were from various backgrounds, such as labor unions, academic consortiums, health and safety professionals, government, and community organizations. About 6 months following each individual course date a follow-up survey was sent to each available participants' e-mail (n = 53 TTT, n = 28 Leadership) with a response rate of 47.2% for the TTT (n = 25) and 63.2% for Leadership (n = 12). Trainees were asked about individual or workplace level actions taken; any obstacles that prevented them or their coworkers from being involved in or conducting activities; if the OWPR training tool was used in their workplace for a training program; and whether the pandemic impacted their ability to address opioids in the workplace.
Among TTT trainees, about half of follow-up survey respondents from the 2020 training reported planning and conducting training and education, reaching out to coworkers to see how they are doing, sharing factsheets and information from the opioid training with coworkers, and re-focusing on self-care. Among Leadership trainees, about two-fifths of follow-up survey respondents from the 2020 training reported sharing factsheets and information from the opioid training. Some trainees described the COVID-19 pandemic as limiting their ability to take actions in addressing opioids and the workplace.
Evidence supports that the 'Opioids and the Workplace' Train-the-Trainer program and materials have contributed to helping trainees plan and conduct opioids awareness training at their organizations. Evidence supports that the Opioids in the Workplace Leadership program helped contribute to trainees taking workplace level actions to implement policies and programs.
本研究旨在评估 2020 年夏季全国“阿片类药物与工作场所”预防与应对（OWPR）培训师（TTT）和领导力培训工具和计划在 6 个月随访时的结果。TTT 计划的目标是帮助讲师规划和开展关于阿片类药物和工作场所意识的教育和培训。领导力计划的目标是帮助处于能够采取组织层面行动的学员实施与阿片类药物和物质使用以及伤害预防相关的政策和计划。
学员来自不同背景，如工会、学术联盟、健康和安全专业人员、政府和社区组织。在每次单独课程结束后大约 6 个月，向每位可获得的参与者的电子邮件发送了后续调查（TTT 为 53 人，领导力为 28 人），回复率为 TTT（25 人）的 47.2%和领导力（12 人）的 63.2%。学员被问及个人或工作场所层面采取的行动；任何阻止他们或其同事参与或开展活动的障碍；OWPR 培训工具是否在其工作场所用于培训计划；以及大流行是否影响他们在工作场所解决阿片类药物问题的能力。
在 TTT 学员中，2020 年培训的大约一半后续调查受访者报告说他们计划和开展了培训和教育，与同事联系以了解他们的情况，与同事分享阿片类药物培训的情况表和信息，并重新关注自我保健。在领导力学员中，2020 年培训的大约五分之二的后续调查受访者报告分享了阿片类药物培训的情况表和信息。一些学员将 COVID-19 大流行描述为限制了他们采取行动解决阿片类药物和工作场所问题的能力。
有证据表明，“阿片类药物与工作场所”培训师计划和材料有助于帮助学员在其组织中计划和开展阿片类药物意识培训。有证据表明，阿片类药物在工作场所领导力计划有助于促使学员采取工作场所层面的行动来实施政策和计划。
