Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

SHARE! the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange will engage peer workers in their Peer Toolkit training, which is designed to improve the performance of peer workers in their provision of peer support. The Peer Toolkit training currently has a waitlist of peer workers interested in taking the course for professional development purposes. These peer workers and their supervisors will be invited to complete a web-based survey at baseline and 4-month follow-up. Peer workers will be randomly assigned to enroll in the Peer Toolkit training immediately or after the follow-up survey. Analyses will compare participants who had the opportunity to complete the training to those still waiting to start the training. This study will inform the use of the Peer Toolkit as a training mechanism to build the capacity of peer workers in the mental health workforce.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

SHARE! the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange will engage peer workers in their Peer Toolkit training, which is designed to improve the performance of peer workers in their provision of peer support. The training covers each of the 12 tools in the Peer Toolkit, which are taught through brief presentations followed by group discussions and interactive exercises to help people competently use each of the tools. The training is offered both online and in-person, requires 60 hours of time, and is typically completed over the course of 4 months. Participation in the training is optional.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

SHARE! will advertise the availability of their Peer Toolkit training via their website, email distribution list, and to individuals who previously expressed interest. Participants who enroll in the study will be clustered by worksite. The worksites will be randomized to receive the training either first in the Summer or after follow-up data collection in the Fall.

Primary Study Purpose

HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Data collection and analysis will occur without knowledge of participant intervention condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Peer Toolkit Training

Participants assigned to this arm will attend online or in-person trainings on the SHARE! Peer Toolkit, which requires 60 hours of time to be completed over 10 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
