COVER-HCW Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Stress First AidExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The cRCT will be comprised of three cohorts of matched pairs representing approximately 40 diverse sites (12-15 pairs of hospitals hospitals and 5-7 pairs of clinics/practices) to determine whether SFA for frontline HCWs improves mental and physical well-being compared to Usual Care (UC). Each pair will be assigned to either SFA or UC using a simple 1:1 randomization. SFA sites will implement SFA through a "train-the-trainer" model.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
The cRCT will be comprised of three cohorts of matched pairs representing approximately 40 diverse sites (12-15 pairs of hospitals hospitals and 5-7 pairs of clinics/practices) to determine whether SFA for frontline HCWs improves mental and physical well-being compared to Usual Care (UC). Each pair will be assigned to either SFA or UC using a simple 1:1 randomization. UC sites will not implement SFA during the study period but will be given full access to all implementation materials following the conclusion of their participation.
