Summary
Aim 2: Evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the SAFR intervention using a randomized controlled trial. An additional 100 practicing social workers (excluding participants from Aim 1) will be recruited, with n = 50 allocated to each arm of the study utilizing block randomization. Participants in the control arm will receive invitations to all surveys but not to the SAFR intervention itself. We will utilize the validated measures from Aim 1 to assess changes on study variables. Results will be analyzed using either mixed linear models or generalized estimating equations as appropriate. Analyses will be performed with a focus on estimation of parameters for use in the planning of a subsequent comparative trial designed to fully assess intervention efficacy with a national sample. Supportive analyses that adjust for participant covariates will also be considered. We will also ask participants for feedback on the intervention and will track indicators of feasibility and acceptability (recruitment rates, completion of intervention and measurement tools).
