About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The investigators propose to test the effectiveness of PATH (Peer Advanced Training for total Health) as an educational workforce intervention for improving peer recovery support specialists' (PRSS) overdose prevention (OP) service delivery ability and quality and as a PRSS workforce and service system support. The PATH intervention combines (a) virtual education and (b) case-based consultation. The investigators hypothesize that PATH will improve organizational-level PRSS burnout, additional workforce outcomes, and OP service quality.
