ABSTRACT This two-year study examined whether an experiential learning course (N = 3) can effectively train Bachelor of Social Work students (N = 61) to provide substance misuse prevention services and make a quantifiable impact on their campus and surrounding community. The results showed that the course effectively trained students to engage in prevention activities with a 97% cumulative class average and an 80% pass rate for engaged students on an internationally accredited prevention exam. The course also produced several significant outputs such as collecting 7.6 tons of garbage from the local community, distributing public health materials to over 7,000 students, and saving a community member’s life through the administration of Naloxone for an overdose. Overall, implications from the study suggest that social work academic programs can utilize experiential learning to effectively train students to engage in substance misuse prevention while also producing significant and measurable outcomes for local communities.

ABSTRACT There is currently an insufficient supply of licensed substance use disorder counselors (SUDCs) to meet demand for services and the gap between supply and demand is projected to grow. Paraprofessional SUDCs offer one path to helping close this gap. The current study presents outcomes from a paraprofessional SUDC certificate program for Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students. Student data (N = 66) were used to examine pre- to post-program changes in generalized SUDC knowledge and pre- to posttest changes in knowledge and self-efficacy from evidence-based workshops. Paired sample t-tests indicated that program participation significantly increased generalized SUDC knowledge. Participation in workshops significantly increased knowledge of motivational interviewing, integrative medicine, harm reduction, and grief and loss and self-efficacy related to integrative medicine and harm reduction. BSW students gain generalized and treatment-specific knowledge via participation in a SUDC certificate program. The deployment of paraprofessional SUDCs may provide one strategy to reduce treatment gaps

Social Work practitioners have become receptive to the need to seek out and utilize empirically support interventions, or evidence-based interventions as they are more commonly known. While these practitioners have become adept at recognizing such interventions, they may be less skillful at seeking out research that does not seem directly related to practice, or basic nonintervention research, supporting interventions. This relationship between intervention research and basic research is explored in the current discussion. For social workers, access to research is critical in supporting good clinical decisionmaking as to who receives services, how services are provided, and policy that undergirds practice. Many agency administrators are coming to believe that practitioners should be integral in decisions about what get researched, even though they may feel such concerns are disconnected from their everyday duties with clients and communities (Romeo, 2018). At the same time, funding bodies are focusing on implementation research to encourage systematic application of research findings to practice. Moving from basic science research to practice is a principal goal of facilitating evidenced-based service delivery (Olswang & Prelock, 2015), however this remains a significant challenge. Research-based partnerships have certainly been recommended in many educational and social service areas to accomplish the goal (Goldstein et al., 2019), but these have also proved difficult to implement in complex settings. It seems critical to build some consensus in the social work environment that supports and values research in substance use treatment. It has been advised that components of this could include the development of more effective communication networks, better links between researchers and clinicians, and greater involvement of practitioners in the research process (Hemsley-Brown and Sharp (2010). The current state of this process is the focus of our discussion today. We are speaking with Dr. Michael Fendrich, the Scientific Director of Advocate Aurora Research Institute in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was formerly the Associate Dean for Research at the University of Connecticut, where he is Professor Emeritus, and the Director of the Center for Applied Behavioral Health Research at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Before that, he was a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
社会工作从业者已经接受了寻求和利用经验支持干预措施或循证干预措施的必要性,因为这些干预措施更为常见。虽然这些从业者已经变得善于识别这种干预措施,但他们可能不太善于寻找与实践没有直接关系的研究,或支持干预措施的基本非干预研究。干预研究和基础研究之间的关系在当前的讨论中进行了探讨。对于社会工作者来说,获得研究对于支持谁接受服务、如何提供服务以及支持实践的政策等良好的临床决策至关重要。许多机构管理人员开始相信,从业者应该参与研究内容的决策,尽管他们可能觉得这种担忧与他们与客户和社区的日常职责脱节(Romeo,2018)。与此同时,资助机构正专注于实施研究,以鼓励将研究结果系统地应用于实践。从基础科学研究转向实践是促进基于证据的服务提供的主要目标(Olswang&Prelock,2015),但这仍然是一个重大挑战。为了实现这一目标,许多教育和社会服务领域肯定建议建立基于研究的伙伴关系(Goldstein et al.,2019),但事实证明,这些伙伴关系在复杂的环境中也很难实施。在支持和重视药物使用治疗研究的社会工作环境中建立一些共识似乎至关重要。有人建议,这其中的组成部分可能包括发展更有效的沟通网络,研究人员和临床医生之间更好的联系,以及从业者更多地参与研究过程(Hemsley Brown和Sharp(2010)。这一进程的现状是我们今天讨论的重点。我们采访了威斯康星州密尔沃基Advocate Aurora研究所的科学主任Michael Fendrich博士。他曾任康涅狄格大学研究副院长,名誉教授,威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校应用行为健康研究中心主任。在此之前,他是芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的精神病学教授。
