Integration and Evaluation of Substance Abuse Research Education Training (SARET) Program into a MSW Program

摘要

BackgroundThe Substance Abuse Research and Education Training Program is funded by the National Institutes of Drug Abuse in 2006 as a novel approach to spark interest in substance abuse research among medical, dental, nursing, and social work graduate students through a web-based curriculum and research mentorships. This report presents the initial integration of the intervention in a MSW program, the components of the program, and the mixed-methods evaluation of its effect on student’s attitudes towards substance abuse research and treatment.
