title: Enhancing Drug Treatment Program Staff's Self-Efficacy to Support Patients' HCV Needs.
abstract: To increase HCV-related support for patients in substance abuse treatment programs, we implemented an on-site staff training in 16 programs throughout the United States. It aimed to increase participants' self-efficacy in assisting patients with their HCV-related needs. Findings indicate that participants' self-efficacy increased both 1- and 3-months post-training, resulting in providers' perceptions that they were better able to support patients regarding HCV. Implementing an engaging and interactive HCV training for social workers and other substance abuse treatment program staff has the potential to increase their HCV knowledge, self-efficacy, and the HCV-related assistance provided to patients both in the short- and longer-term.
