RESUMO

Although research indicates that the prevalence of psychiatric disability differs depending on gender, a paucity of information exists as to whether men and women with psychiatric disability also differ regarding service program outcomes. For a United States Southwest peer support specialist training program, this study examines whether gender moderates the association between psychiatric disability and a key outcome-training dropout. Data were collected for 78 men and 157 women with psychiatric disability and 137 men and 203 women with mental illness only. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between psychiatric disability and dropout, with gender as a moderator variable, and age, education, race/ethnicity, and substance use disorder as control variables. Of trainees with psychiatric disability, dropout was greater among men than women (34.6% and 20.4%, respectively; p < .05). Dropout was also greater among men with psychiatric disability than among men with mental illness only (34.6% and 15.3%; p < .01). In contrast, dropout was similar for women with psychiatric disability and mental illness only (20.4% and 18.7%; p > .05), and dropout was comparable among men and women with mental illness only (15.3% and 18.7%; p > .05). In summary, risk of dropout was substantially higher among men with psychiatric disability than women with psychiatric disability. Gender tailoring of the program's services should be considered to better support training completion. This study's findings also raise questions as to possible underrepresentation of men with psychiatric disability in the peer support workforce training pipeline.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Despite progress in reducing tobacco use within the general population, high prevalence of tobacco use continues in individuals with mental health and substance use disorders ("clients"). Tobacco use persists as the leading cause of premature mortality in this population. While behavioral health providers have frequent contacts with this population, they lack training in tobacco cessation counseling. METHODS: We conducted multimethod formative data collection consisting of key informant interviews with providers, field observations at clinical sites, and structured group interviews with behavioral health providers, and, separately, clients. Activities were conducted at 4 behavioral health agencies with 9 behavioral health clinic sites in southern Arizona. Recurring phrases and level of repetition were quantified to identify themes. These themes were then used to adapt the method of training delivery and revise the curriculum content for providers at the participating sites. RESULTS: Results indicated that providers had "training fatigue" and low satisfaction with multiple, online trainings. Further, providers noted issues including time constraints, competing clinical priorities, and low access to tobacco-cessation materials. Clients demonstrated high self-awareness around the importance of quitting smoking and professed frustration at being unable to quit, despite multiple attempts. Finally, both providers and clients agreed that a personal, supportive approach to cessation counseling was preferred. CONCLUSIONS: Using results from this formative research to revise delivery and content of existing smoking-cessation training for behavioral health providers may address barriers to assisting clients with smoking cessation. Additional research to determine the efficacy of the adapted training is needed.

RESUMO

The theoretical underpinnings, training content and initial training data of a workforce development program are described. The program was designed for people with psychiatric and/or substance use disorders, and provides skills to improve their employability in the behavioral health system. Trainees rated their knowledge, skills and attitudes as improved after training. Supervisor ratings of participants after three months of employment are consistent with the participant's self-ratings.
