Overview Introduction Process Results Applications: Materials Development

Role of CBP Officers Public Health Role: Identify and respond to a variety of public health events at ports of entry Training challenges for CBP Officers at ports of entry: Public health not primary function Many demanding responsibilities Short timeframe for action Limited information to make decisions

Public Health Event Animals, cargo, other items Immigrants and refugee medical exams CBP Response Ill travelers DNA Laboratories 7439 State Street, Ste 1800 Minneapolis, MN 59802

Health Education Process Implementation Evaluation of effectiveness and revision of materials Development of materials Needs assessment Plan development

Needs Assessment Areas of interest –Current training methods –Format of training seminars –Types of media to include –Types of materials to provide –Suggestions and possibilities for in- service training Formats of needs assessment –Focus groups –Key informant interviews

Needs Assessment: Results Focus Groups Interviews Address all CBP work environments Incorporate case studies Use computer-based training for followup Include practical exercises Add video clips Develop job aids Add role-playing activities

Plan Development Needs Assessment Interactive trainings at CBP Academy Web-based training Agriculture Specialist tailored trainings Training video clips and photos RING cards

Material Development: CBP Academy Basic Training Training challenges –Restricted to a 2-hour time block –Rigid classroom environment –Limited practical exercise capacity –Seated early in curriculum (3rd week of 15-week program) Possible solutions –Maximize lecture interactivity –Add practical exercises elsewhere in curriculum

Material Development: CBP Academy Basic Training Revised training included: Case studies Engaging activities Dynamic visual aids Simplified language/ removal of excessive jargon

Evaluation of Training Two training classes (groups) received evaluation instrument –Group 1 received original training –Group 2 received revised training 10-question instrument given as a pre-test and post-test 10-question instrument given again 8 weeks later Results analyzed using SPSS, v. 14.0

Evaluation Results n Mean ScoresPre/PostPost/Delayed PrePostDelayedDiffp-valueDiffp-value Group 1 (original training) Group 2 (revised training) Mean Diffp-value Pre-test to post-test Table 1. Change in evaluation scores by group Table 2. Comparison of scores between groups

Evaluation Conclusions The revised presentation: –Helped trainees learn more –Helped trainees retain that information longer –Suggested additional revisions are needed (more case studies, video clips, practical exercises) Limitations –Small sample size –Only compared two groups of officers –Variability of presentation delivery –Evaluation limited by time to 10 questions –Other unidentified factors

Future Work: Video and Photo Shoots Purpose –Provide visual element to trainings –Demonstrate action steps realistically Challenges –Security at ports –Privacy for travelers –Minimal window of time Solutions –Stage photos during down-time of aircraft –Stage photos at mock port

Future Work: Job Aids Needs assessment highlighted CBP workplace challenges: Time pressure requires quick decision- making No time for referencing materials Many simultaneous decisions to make Need accessible instructions for ancillary public health duties Need easy, quick access to Quarantine Station phone number

Future Work: RING Cards FRONTBACK Standout acronym Phone number Hole punches Brief additional Instructions Port Specific Illness criteria Website Pocket-sized

Conclusion Application of health education principles to developing training materials for CBP Officers produced: –A better understanding of training needs –Possible solutions to training challenges for CBP Officers who work under unique environmental conditions –A more effective training for increasing CBP Officers’ knowledge of public health issues –Guidance for the continued development and revision of training materials
