Description

Anmol Desai and colleagues lay out a 2026 trial protocol testing Stress First Aid for substance use outreach workers across the south-central United States. These frontline workers face burnout and moral strain while serving people who use drugs. About 500 workers from roughly 90 organizations in ten regions will be randomized by cluster.

The program pairs a two-hour virtual training with monthly half-hour learning sessions. Surveys at start, two months, and six months track support, burnout, coping, and turnover plans. Interviews add reach and upkeep evidence. Results will feed a national rollout plan for workforce wellbeing.
