L’objectif

The aim of this study was to identify ways of improving online learning for people working in substance use treatment services in England.

Constatations/points à retenir

Participants reported “unmet needs” for training in therapeutic relationships and advanced therapeutic techniques. They enjoyed training that demonstrably improved the quality of life for people who use drugs and that provided career and personal development opportunities. Participants completed many mandatory online courses that were short and unpopular. If online learning is to be optimized, the needs of substance use professionals must be accommodated; however, online learning that meets the needs of substance use professionals does not always match the best evidence.
