First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a four-hour training course can improve how police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and public health staff respond to people experiencing mental health or substance use crises. Participants take an online questionnaire before and after the training to measure changes in knowledge, confidence, and attitudes. The goal is to see if the course helps first responders feel more prepared and respond more effectively in real-life situations.
