Core Competency Model for Corrections

Feasibility of CCM-C training as measured by the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM; Weiner et al., 2017); the scale ranges from 5-20 where higher scores indicate greater feasibility.

Acceptability of CCM-C training as measured by the self-report subscale on the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM; Weiner et al., 2017); the scale ranges from 5-20 where higher scores indicate greater acceptability.

Appropriateness of CCM-C training as measured by the self-report subscale of the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM; Weiner et al., 2017); the scale ranges from 5-20 where higher scores indicate greater appropriateness.

Usability of CCM-C training as measured by the self-report subscale of the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM; Weiner et al., 2017); the scale ranges from 5-20 where higher scores indicate greater usability.

The Suicide Competency Assessment Form (SCAF; Cramer et al., 2013, 2020) will be used to measure participants' perceived SDV prevention skill mastery. The SCAF is a self-report questionnaire that contains 10 items capturing core competencies of the CCM-C training; these items are measured on a four-point scale of perceived competency (1 = incapable; 4 = advanced) where higher scores denote better competency. For the present study, these 10 items was adapted to capture SDV-focused skills.

The Attitudes about Intervening with a Suicidal Person (AIBS; Aldrich et al., 2014) self-report questionnaire will be used to measure SDV prevention-focused attitudes and the willingness to intervene in an event where a person is experiencing SDV. The AIBS is a subscale of the larger, recently revised Willingness to Intervene against a Suicidal Person Enhanced questionnaire (Aldrich & Cerel, 2023). Higher scores (range 14-90) convey more positive attitudes and greater willingness to intervening with someone in distress.

The Attitudes toward Prisoners who Self-Harm (APSH; Garbutt & Casey, 2015; Ireland & Quinn, 2007) scale is a self-report questionnaire that will be used to measure SDV prevention-focused attitudes and stigma. The APSH consists of 25 items with a total score; higher scores (range 25-125_ denote more stigmatizing beliefs.

For this pilot evaluation, investigators created a 10 multiple-choice CCM-C Knowledge Quiz. Correct answers are summed for a total score (range 0-10) where higher scores indicate greater understanding of the CCM-C.

Investigators will use the intention to use training content scale (Cramer et al., 2019), a brief self-report questionnaire, to capture BHC's perceived importance in using (pre-training) and intent to use (post-training) CCM-C training content. Across seven items, higher scores (item mean 1-5) denote greater perceived importance of the training.

The Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale (CF-SS; Adams, Boscarino, & Figley, 2006), a self-report questionnaire, will be used to assess feelings of compassion fatigue, conceptualized as secondary traumatic stress (5 items) and job burnout (8 items). This measure contains 13 items. This subscale score denotes higher job burnout (range 8-80).
