NCT ID NCT07177014
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 2-hour Stress First Aid training, plus monthly virtual meetings, can reduce burnout and increase social support for 500 substance use outreach workers in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and tribal areas. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the training or no training, and changes are measured after 2 months. The goal is to see if this simple program can help protect the mental health of workers who support people with substance use disorders.
