摘要

Behavioral health care professionals often tend to avoid implementing evidence-basedresearch into practice. Many practitioners are exposed to evidence-based practicethrough infrequent experiences with continuing education events. Continuing educationserves as the primary modality for updating information to substance abuse treatmentproviders. Many providers attend these sessions because they are required to, and usethese sessions as opportunities to socialize rather than learn. Thus, addiction researchremains largely isolated from those it is intended to inform. Implementing an internetbasedlearning modality as a continuing education option for behavioral healthpractitioners will help bridge the gap between the findings of evidence-based practice andthe dissemination of knowledge to practitioners. During the Fall, 2009 semester a studywas conducted by recruiting undergraduate students from entry-level psychology coursesto participate in one of two randomly assigned conditions. In the experimental conditionthe subjects (n=50) were exposed to an internet-based session in which they receivededucation via the computer about the foundations of addiction. The control group (n=50)received the same information in typical lecture format. The internet-based sessionscontained the same material as the lecture format, and were created using presentationsoftware known as Viewlet Builder 6 (Qarbon Software). All subjects were given a pretestprior to exposure to the information and a follow-up post-test. Data were analyzedusing a 2 Way ANOVA. The statistical analyses tested the basic hypothesis thatinformation is transmitted at least as well using the internet as in conference format.Subjects were also given exit interviews. Based on both quantitative and qualitative data,necessary adjustments were made to the internet-based training and conference format.Data analysis using SPSS-X indicated that in all cases, post-test scores were significantlyhigher than pre-test scores, indicating that both forms of education were effective.Additionally, it was found that subjects in the Internet-based groups had post-test scorescomparable to those in the lecture group. These findings indicate that the use of Internetbasedtraining is as effective as the traditional conference format.In the spring of 2010, a follow-up study with a similar framework will be conducted.Addiction counselors will be recruited from Partner Agencies. They will be randomlyassigned to either attend a Continuing Education Forum or engage in Internet-basedprograms providing access to the same information. Subjects will be given a pre-test anda post-test. It is hypothesized that the subjects in the internet-based condition will learnmore efficiently, and be more likely to implement new information. In the first experiment,the expectation was that the two groups would learn equally well. In Experiment 2 it is feltthat the Internet–Based Group will learn more efficiently since they are attending tomaterial in an interactive form, with no opportunity to socialize instead. Additionally, theproviders in the Internet group will have the opportunity to go back to the online materialafter completion of the study, making it more accessible, and more readily used. As aresult of this study, it is hoped that internet-based learning will become a more commonlyused method of continuing education for behavioral health care providers.
