Training Outcomes of a Social Determinants of Mental Health-Focused Fieldwork Course
Counselor Education and Supervision, v64 n1 p64-80 2025
We conducted a concurrent nested mixed-methods exploration of counselor trainee outcomes of a social determinants of mental health (SDMH)-focused fieldwork course. Seven trainees completed a pre-/post-course SDMH competence scale and nine weekly journal entries. Results of a paired samples t-test and deductive content analysis suggest increased SDMH competence and efforts to learn about and address clients' SDMH challenges throughout the semester. Implications for counselor training conclude.
