Risk and Resiliency Factors in the RCMP: A Prospective Investigation

"The ERST training is designed as a train the trainer model. Sauer-Zavala, a co-developer of the UP, personally trained a group of RCMP trainers during a week-long interactive workshop. The trainers continue to have access to Sauer-Zavala for optional follow-up consultation and support related to delivery of the ERST training for questions or to address any issues that arise during training. Having consultation and support available for the trainers should help to offset concerns raised about ensuring training fidelity subsequent to other mental health programs. Participants have ongoing access to ERST to support skill retention after training is completed, which should help to offset previous indications of problems with skill development for mental health programs."

Participants in the STC will be assessed for at least 66 months, via full assessments (i.e., self-report surveys, clinical interviews), monthly assessments (i.e., \~20 minute self-report surveys), daily assessments (i.e., \~1 minute self-report surveys), and biometric assessments. The self-monitoring and feedback should be inherently beneficial and should facilitate earlier access to evidence-based care, which is why the STC is considered an active comparator.
