Knowledge: 7 items

Ex: If a man identifies as straight and has sex with another man, then he is gay or bisexual. (T or F)

Attitudes: 3 items

Ex: I would be comfortable if I became known among my peers as someone who supports LGBTQ clients/patients, and/or colleagues.

Self-efficacy: 2 items

Ex: When meeting a new patient, how confident are you in your ability to ask gender identity questions that are appropriate to your job?

Intention: 2 items

Ex: How likely are you to intervene in a homophobic interaction at your workplace?

Variables Associated KASI changes in Pre-T

  • Post-test

Tested association of education, age, SOGI on pre-post KASI changes using mixed-effects logistic and cumulative logistic regression models

  • Knowledge: None were associated
  • Attitudes: GI significantly associated with pre-post improvement in attitude,

with cisgender men less likely to show pre-post attitude improvement compared to cisgender women (p < 0.0001), but were more likely to have higher scores overall, indicating a ceiling effect.

  • Self-efficacy: Younger age (< 30 y.o.), lower education (< standard four

year college vs. more), and cisgender women (vs. cisgender men) (all p’s < .0001) were significantly and positively associated with a pre-post improvement in self-efficacy. Interpret with caution as findings could be attributed to a ceiling effect for the self-efficacy variable.

  • Behavioral intentions: None were associated

  • All KASI measures showed significant positive

changes from pre- to post-training

  • Self-efficacy was most strongly associated with

behavioral intentions to enact knowledge and skills learned from the training experience

Summary

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Discussion

  • Observed significant improvements in all KASI variables from pre- to

post-training supports a positive short-term impact on critical behavior change variables

  • Longer-term impact on behavior, i.e., actual behavior change among

trainees, is difficult and costly to assess

  • Some demographic variables were associated with positive changes in

attitudes and self-efficacy, e.g., cisgender showed less improvement compared to cisgender women, although there were ceiling effects in these measures that suggest caution in interpreting the associations

  • Evaluation items, especially knowledge items, may need further

refinement to capture the range of pre-test responses as well as be sensitive to training impact
