Product Description:
|
Inclusive Just-in-Time Training (I-JITT) for Public Health Investigations is a comprehensive and systematic toolkit designed to support individuals leading and responding to a public health emergency. Its approach to training is aligned with best practice from the field of adult learning theory.
The toolkit consists of five components: Implementation Instructions for the Preparedness Planner, an Operational Briefing Checklist for the Epidemiology/Surveillance Group Supervisor, a Field Training Guide for Team Leaders (complete with Job Action Sheets), a “Go-Guide” job aide for surge responders to utilize during an incident, and a short evaluation form to evaluate the I-JITT approach.
The concept of I-JITT reflects three major constructs:
•Meeting the intellectual, behavioral, and emotional needs of responders,
•Addressing different types of learning styles (auditory, visual, and experiential), and
•Drawing attention to cultural considerations that individuals, groups, and organizations bring to a response.
This toolkit is designed to be adaptable to the changing environment of an emergency response and includes tips on how to integrate I-JITT into a local response, whether training lasts five minutes or an hour. Any health department interested in adopting the toolkit can access a hard copy of the product at NACCHO’s toolbox or download PDF/MS Word files that can be tailored to meet the needs of a local jurisdiction.
