PATH (Peer Advanced Training in Harm Reduction) to Reducing Burnout Among Peers Who Deliver Harm Reduction Services (R61 Phase Pilot)
Sponsor: Chestnut Health Systems
Summary
The investigators propose to develop and test the effectiveness of PATH (Peer Advanced Training in Harm reduction) as an educational workforce intervention for improving peer recovery support specialists' (PRSS) harm reduction (HR) service delivery ability and quality and as a PRSS workforce and service system support. The PATH intervention combines (a) virtual education and (b) case-based consultation. The investigators hypothesize that PATH will improve organizational-level PRSS burnout, additional workforce outcomes, and HR service quality.

Interventions
PATH (Peer Advanced Training in Harm reduction)
PATH is an educational workforce intervention for improving peer recovery support specialists' (PRSS) harm reduction (HR) service delivery ability and quality and as a PRSS workforce and service system support. PATH will include 3 hours of eLearning modules and 8 weekly ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) meetings lasting 1.5 hours each, delivered over 2 months. Each ECHO session includes a 30-minute presentation followed by one hour of case-based discussion about a real client or problem. The entire PATH intervention will take 15 hours (3 hours of eLearning and 12 hours of ECHO participation) over 3 months. Participants are expected to complete all 15 hours, completing the 3 hours of eLearning before starting the 12 hours of ECHO activities.
