Initial Evaluation of the Training Program for Supervisors on Alcoholism. Preliminary Report.
Health Services and Mental Health Administration (DHEW), Rockville, MD. Federal Health Programs Service.
Summarized in this report are the outcomes of an evaluation study conducted to assess the effectiveness of the supervisors' training program for preparing HSMHA supervisors to implement the Employee Health Program on Alcoholism. Results of questionnaires completed by supervisors with and without training indicate that the program was beneficial. Other evidences of this are shown in the following ways: (1) There has been an increase in knowledge, and (2) There have been changes in attitudes and augmentation of the means and motivation of supervisors to engage in specific constructive action to help employees with work related problems involving the use of alcohol. The report recommends: (1) continuing and added emphasis on observable behavioral characteristics and personal/emotional adjustment factors associated with alcoholism, (2) appointment of resource people who would be available for guiding employees into the program, and (3) instruction about methods and techniques which supervisors could utilize to effectively handle an employee.
