The train the trainer or train-the-facilitator model is popular in public health education to reach large portions of the target population by training a small cadre of trainers/facilitators. Several evaluations of community educators trainings have been conducted to assess effectiveness of such trainings by assessing changes in knowledge and skills of educators. However, there is not much information on what happens after educators leave the training with their new skills. There is not much information on the uptake and utilization of training information by the trainers/facilitators. This study aims to assess the utilization and real effectiveness of a sexual health education and communication curriculum after the educators have been trained in it. This study is being presented at the AEA Annual Conference in San Antonio on November 12, 2010 at the 4:30-6:00 PM session in room Travis D. #Malhotra #EvaluationUse #2010Conference #HealthEvaluation #AEApresentation
