• Description:
  Context: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a workforce training on sexual and gender minorities (SGMs). Objective: This article describes the evaluation of the training. Design: Participants completed pre- and posttest surveys. After the pilot evaluation, some improvements were made to the curriculum and to the pre- and posttest questionnaires. Participants in subsequent (implementation) training were similarly asked to complete pre- and posttest questionnaires. Setting: CDC. Participants: CDC staff. Main Outcome Measures: Participants' knowledge, ally identity, and perceptions of SGMs. Results: Pilot and implementation training data showed increases in participant knowledge of 44% and 49%, respectively, increases in ally identity of 11% and 14%, respectively, and increases in positive perceptions of SGM of 25% and 31%, respectively. Conclusion: These results suggest that the CDC Ally Training may be a useful tool for improving staff knowledge and perceptions of SGM people. [Description provided by NIOSH]
