L’objectif

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of one-time online educational training events for rural community members and health care providers on community OUD issues, treatment options, and supports for those in recovery.

Constatations/points à retenir

Findings show community members’ knowledge increased from pre- to posttraining and was maintained at 3 months, while providers’ knowledge was unchanged over time. Posttraining, community participants felt more comfortable speaking about addiction with family and friends, and providers had better knowledge of local resources for patients who could not afford opioid misuse treatments. All participants reported gaining knowledge of community resources for opioid misuse prevention, treatment, and recovery.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

Pre-training, post-training, and 30-day follow-up evaluation surveys of an online training (n=451 community members and 59 providers).
