The need for this webinar is supported by a CDC Grant/Cooperative Agreement SOPHE received. With this funding and with our collaborative partners at the National Council on Aging, SOPHE has developed an asynchronous course that includes independent modules that address Evidence-Based Programs (EBIs) and key areas of starting an Arthritis Appropriate Evidence-Based Intervention (AAEBI). About a third of people who manage AAEBI’s turnover each year. This employment turnover slows program reach to people living with arthritis and disrupts program delivery. Currently, there is no systematic training for new AAEBI administrators (those who administer the programs at an organizational level).
SOPHE's course includes the following modules:
- Module 1: Introduction to EBPs and AAEBIs
- Module 2: Preparing to Start an EBP/AAEBI Program
- Module 3: Inclusive practices to enhance diversity, equity, and belonging in EBPs
- Module 4: AAEBI Sustainability and Lessons Learned from the Field
As background, about a third of people who manage AAEBIs turnover each year. This employment turnover slows program reach to people living with arthritis and disrupts program delivery. Currently, there is no systematic training for new AAEBI administrators (those who administer the programs at an organizational level). As a result, these modules have been created. All the modules will be recorded for individuals to access on their own time.
