$500 for Substance use treatment counselors for NIH funded study

Are you a substance use treatment counselor/provider? You can help create a needed training for others in your field while earning $500. We invite you to participate in a paid ($500, plus free training) study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). We are researching whether an online video library helps counselors/providers work more effectively with autistic clients they may have. You can find a short eligibility survey here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SkillFlixSUDPilotStudy

What you will be asked to do:

Complete a presurvey (less than 15 minutes)

Complete a simulated client session at our offices in Scotts Valley (between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz) during the time period of November 14-17. (about 30 minutes.)

View the videos on your own time over the course of 1 week (up to 75 minutes)

Return to complete a second client session during November 21-24 (30 minutes)

Complete a short final survey online (less than 10 minutes)

Note you must be available for 1/2 hour during November 14-17 and November 21-24. The location is in Scotts Valley (about 25 minutes from Los Gatos and about 10 minutes from Santa Cruz.)
