What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time-to-Proficiency (TTP) Score
Time Frame: Assessed at the end of the 2-month post-workshop preparation phase
A continuous measure representing the number of days between completion of the training workshop by targeted staff and targeted staff's demonstration of proficiency in the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention.
Assessed at the end of the 2-month post-workshop preparation phase
Implementation Effectiveness Index (IEI) Score
Time Frame: Assessed at the end of the 6-month implementation phase
A continuous measure representing the sum of the standardized cumulative number of motivational interviewing brief interventions delivered by targeted staff (i.e., consistency) and the cumulative integrity score of targeted staff's delivered of the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention (i.e., quality).
Assessed at the end of the 6-month implementation phase
Level of Sustainment (LOS) Score
Time Frame: Assessed at the end of the 6-month sustainment phase
A continuous measure representing the number of Motivational Interviewing-based Brief Interventions targeted Brief Intervention Staff report delivery of the motivational interviewing-based brief intervention during the past 6-months following the end of the implementation phase.
Assessed at the end of the 6-month sustainment phase
