Self-testing can increase detection and contribute to decreasing diagnoses, but it is unclear which self-test program characteristics encourage the highest engagement. To inform the design of self-test programs, we conducted an online discrete choice experiment with BHMSM in this region w…

Substance use workforce training needs during intersecting epidemics: An analysis of events offered by a regional training center from 2017 to 2020
Results of the current analysis indicate that the demand for TA increased during the pandemic, with a prioritization of TA focused on evidence-based practice and health equity. The practice-based evidence generated from the New England ATTC may help other training and TA centers to anticipate and nimbly respond to the needs of the workforce in the face of the intersecting epidemics
User-informed marketing versus standard description to drive demand for evidence-based therapy: A randomized controlled trial
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing represents a vital strategy to disseminate evidence-based therapies (EBTs). This 3-phase research program, informed by the marketing mix, developed and evaluated user-informed DTC materials for parents concerned about adolescent substance use (SU). Phases 1 and 2 consisted of qualitative interviews (n = 29 parents) and a quantitative survey (n = 411), respectively, to elicit parents' preferred terms and strategi…
