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.","PeriodicalId":45598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49056689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

{"title":"The current and future relationship of basic research and intervention research in social work practice in the addictions: a conversation with Michael Fendrich, PhD","authors":"S. Rose","doi":"10.1080/1533256X.2023.2216519","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1533256X.2023.2216519","url":null,"abstract":"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.","PeriodicalId":45598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46694170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
