The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) awarded a $132,063 Project Grant (CFDA 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to support a study on implementing a stress management intervention for correctional officers in jail settings. The 5-year project aims to: 1) identify barriers and facilitators to implementing the stress management intervention; 2) develop an implementation strategy package and intervention modifications; and 3) conduct a pilot hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial of the stress management intervention. The study leverages an evidence-based quality improvement (EBQI) approach and will build UAMS' expertise in areas such as implementation research, community-engaged research in criminal justice settings, and delivering evidence-based mind-body interventions.
