The program integrates elements of peer-led social support groups with scripted team-based programs to help workers learn together, solve problems, set goals, make changes, and enrich their supportive professional network. After a successful pilot study and randomized controlled trial, COMPASS was adapted for the Oregon Home Care Commission\u2019s training system for statewide dissemination. The adapted program included fewer total meetings (7 versus 13), an accelerated meeting schedule (every two weeks versus monthly), and a range of other adjustments. The revised approach was piloted with five groups of workers (total n = 42) and evaluated with pre- and post-program outcome measures. After further adjustments and planning, the statewide rollout is now in progress. In the adaptation pilot several psychosocial, safety, and health outcomes changed by a similar magnitude relative to the prior randomized controlled trial. Preliminary training evaluation data (n = 265) show high mean ratings indicating that workers like the program, find the content useful, and intend to make changes after meetings. Facilitating factors and lessons learned from the project may inform future similar efforts to translate research into practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15122777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,10]],"date-time":"2018-12-10T03:36:41Z","timestamp":1544413001000},"page":"2777","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["From Research-to-Practice: An Adaptation and Dissemination of the COMPASS Program for Home Care Workers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ryan","family":"Olson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU)-Portland State University School of Public Health, Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Portland State University, Portland, OR 97201, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer A.","family":"Hess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Labor Education and Research Center, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelsey N.","family":"Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon V.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"Division of Nutritional Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anjali","family":"Rameshbabu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristy","family":"Luther Rhoten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0066-4478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Marino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Oregon Health &amp; Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bureau of Labor Statistics (2018, September 19).
