Evaluating the impact of Brief Interventions training
Background
Safer Communities Bradford is delivering training to professionals to enable them to deliver effective brief interventions to patients/clients/customers/arrestees whose presenting health, social or behavioural problems are suspected to be related to misuse of alcohol. Enventure was appointed to evaluate the impact of the training.
Research Objectives
The objectives of the evaluation were to:
- Ascertain whether there has been an increase in the level of brief interventions provided in the settings on completion of the staff training.
- Gain feedback from staff regarding the perceived value of the training, in terms of putting their training into practice.
- Gain feedback from a limited number of consenting recipients to evaluate the impact on their attitudes and behaviour.
Research Methods
Enventure is conducting both quantitative and qualitative research in the form of an e-survey and in-depth interviews.
Results
The evaluation findings will be used to ensure future training is conducted effectively.
