+Summary Significant pre-post difference in self-report confidence in addressing screening related care n Reported planned changes in practice, e.g. n I will have more confidence addressing these needs, feeling as if I am more competent. In the past I was more reluctant to address these issues for fear I couldn't "fix" them for clients. I feel more that I am a guide and facilitator in the process . n Listen more, talk less n Effective – particularly the videos to highlight content n Few technical glitches re the videos n Need for local education supplementation & clinical supervision
