What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational training programs rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. Participants may experience the time commitment as a potential burden.

Active Control
Group I: Training to Serve online training (eTTS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants are provided a unique identifier to access the online website. The opening page welcomes them to the study, then directs them to the chunked consent materials and baseline survey. As soon as they have completed this, they receive access to the intervention, which for management is expected to take 1-2 hours and for staff, 30-45 minutes (i.e., the online equivalent of 3-4 and 1 hour, respectively). After completion of the required modules, participants receive access to the optional modules as well as the posttest survey to evaluate the training. Once the post-test is complete, they are thanked for their involvement and informed they will receive an e-mail to access a follow-up survey in six months' time.
Group II: Training to Serve (TTS) in person trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants are provided access to the pretest one week before the training. On the day of training, when the trainers arrive, participants have a final opportunity to complete the baseline survey before the intervention. Tablets will be available to complete pre- and post- surveys. The training for management takes 3-4 hours, and for staff, one hour. For consistency and feasibility, both trainings are conducted by the same trainers at the same visit. Immediately after the intervention, participants complete the post-intervention seminar evaluation assessing knowledge and attitudes/comfort in serving SGM clients.
Group III: Waitlist controlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants complete the baseline survey, then they receive a note thanking them for completing all activities and informing them the intervention will be available in 6 months' time.
