Longer-term effectiveness of eLearning and blended delivery of Mental Health First Aid training in the workplace: 2-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial (Preprint)

Abstract

BACKGROUND Evidence relating to long-term outcomes of online education programs is largely lacking and head-to-head comparisons of different delivery formats are very rare. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to test whether eLearning Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) or blended training (eLearning plus face-to-face course delivery) implemented in an Australian public sector workplace were more effective than a control intervention at 1-year and 2-year follow-up, and whether blended MHFA training was more effective than eLearning alone. ..
