Training human service staff to implement behavioral skills training using a video‐based intervention
Abstract
The current study evaluated the efficacy of a video‐based training to teach 4 staff working in a human service setting to use behavioral skills training (BST) to teach job‐related skills to others. Low levels of BST integrity were observed during baseline. Immediately after viewing a 13‐min training video, 2 participants implemented BST at mastery (i.e., 100% integrity). The remaining 2 participants required brief supplemental performance feedback to reach criterion performance. The effects of the training generalized to training 2 novel skills and maintained in follow‐up probes conducted 1 to 4 weeks posttraining. A social validity measure indicated high levels of satisfaction with the video‐based training and high acceptability of BST. Implications of these findings for organizational training practices and directions for future research are discussed.

A relatively brief training video (with performance feedback as necessary) may be a promising approach that organizations can use to teach staff to function as peer trainers.
“Their findings suggest that a relatively brief training video (with performance feedback as necessary) may be a promising approach that organizations can use to teach staff to function as peer trainers.”

Integrating BST into a pyramidal training framework is a potential strategy for improving resource efficiency while ensuring effective outcomes.
“Another potential strategy for improving the resource efficiency of BST while also ensuring effective outcomes is to integrate this approach into a pyramidal training framework (Erath et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
