背景和目的：新兴的烟草产品，特别是电子烟，对负责提供青少年烟草预防教育的教育工作者提出了挑战，因为他们通常没有足够的时间了解所有烟草产品的最新信息。为了让教育工作者能够实施电子烟和其他预防材料，我们开发了一种新颖的烟草预防工具包体验式培训，包括三个部分：（1）信息会议，（2）网站导航演示，和（3）实践课程演示，允许教育工作者展示和实践工具包课程。方法：我们使用培训后调查评估了这种体验式培训，该调查对来自21个单独培训的486名参与者（75%为女性）进行了评估。调查包括人口统计学问题、培训评估问题和通过Qualtrics管理的4个开放式问题。通过R统计软件分析定量数据的频率。定性数据进行了分析，使用扎根theory.Results：培训参与者绝大多数同意或强烈同意，他们的知识的电子烟增加的培训结果，他们对整体培训感到满意，他们表示打算在未来使用的工具包。与会者对热情的主讲人、电子烟相关信息、网站导航以及培训的课程演示等特点表示青睐。与会者要求更多的时间为培训的各个组成部分，更深入的信息，电子烟，和更多的方向工具包implementation.Conclusions：这种新颖的，体验式的培训增加了教育者报告的烟草产品的知识，是压倒性的好评，这表明这种培训可以是重要的其他电子烟预防和干预课程的有效传播。
Background and objective: Emerging tobacco products, especially e-cigarettes, present a challenge for educators tasked with providing adolescent tobacco prevention education, as they typically have insufficient time to stay uptodate with the latest information on all tobacco products. To equip educators to implement e-cigarette and other prevention materials, we developed a novel, experiential training of the Tobacco Prevention Toolkit, comprising three components: (1) information session, (2) website navigation demonstration, and (3) hands-on curriculum demonstration allowing educators to present and practice Toolkit lessons.Methods: We evaluated this experiential training using a post-training survey, conducted with 486 participants (75% female) from 21 separate trainings. Surveys included demographic questions, training evaluation questions, and 4 open-ended questions administered via Qualtrics. Quantitative data were analyzed for frequencies via R statistical software. Qualitative data were analyzed using grounded theory.Results: Training participants overwhelmingly agreed or strongly agreed that their knowledge of e-cigarettes increased as a result of the training; they were satisfied with the overall training; and they indicated intention to use the Toolkit in the future. Participants favored the enthusiastic presenters, the information about e-cigarettes, the website navigation, and the curriculum demonstration features of the training. Participants requested more time for various components of the training, more in-depth information about e-cigarettes, and more direction for Toolkit implementation.Conclusions: This novel, experiential training increased educator-reported knowledge of tobacco products and was overwhelmingly well-received, suggesting that such training can be important for effective dissemination of other e-cigarette prevention and intervention curricula.
