Summary
This trial aims to see if an online training program called ©Violence, Evidence, Guidance, and Action (VEGA) can help improve the knowledge, self-confidence, and responses of clinical psychology students
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking clinical psychology doctoral students in Canada who are currently engaged in clinical work as part of their program. They must have internet access to participate, as the intervention involves an online educational resource.
What is being tested?
The study tests the VEGA Family Violence Education Resources' effectiveness on improving knowledge, self-efficacy, and responses to family violence among psychology trainees. Participants will be compared with a wait-list control group to measure changes in attitudes and skills relevant to dealing with survivors.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological impacts from engaging with sensitive content about family violence.
