The Science 2 Service (S2S) Learning Series © is a unique presentation of cutting edge material that is largely within the public domain coupled with the opportunity to earn education hours. This innovative learning program will allow you to read science, research and evidence-based material at your own pace and receive education hours in the process.

This program introduces participants to science and evidence-based public domain materials such as research reports, consensus documents, TIPs - Treatment Improvement Protocols, TAPs - Technical Assistance Publications, and other materials based upon scientific research and emerging trends within the field of behavioral healthcare. The program is divided into several sections, each with a series of modules that can typically be completed within 1 to 2 hours. Once you complete all of the modules from a course, you will receive a certificate for your continuing education hours. The program is self-paced, so you are not required to complete the material on any schedule & there are no deadlines or due dates. S2S courses typically feature one or more public domain documents on a current topic within behavioral health (e.g., medication assisted treatment, co-occurring disorders, etc.).

How to Complete a Science 2 Service Course

Step 1: On Line Pretest

Prior to reading the material from each learning module, you will be asked to complete a brief pre-test which will typically consist of 6 - 15 multiple choice or true/false questions designed to measure your knowledge of the subject prior to reading the learning modules for the distance learning program. You are not required to correctly answer any of these questions in order to move forward. The pre-test data will be used to identify your current knowledge of the subject and to compare your answers on the post-test items. All pre-test questions will appear in the post-test. Please do not be overly concerned with your performance on the pre-test items as they are used primarily for internal purposes by the course developers.

Step 2: Read the Material Contained in the Learning Module

Each Science 2 Service Distance Learning course will contain learning modules with various reading content. Each learning module will be a PDF file which will contain all of the reading material necessary for that module. Although the entire source documents will be provided to all participants, the learning modules are available for your convenience.

Step 3: Post-test

After you have read all of the material from a learning module, you will be asked to complete a post-test that will typically contain 20 to 40 items. In order to successfully complete a module, you must correctly answer at least 80%of the items contained in the post-test. If you do not complete at least 80%correctly, you will be advised of the questions that you missed and you will be able to retake the post-test at your convenience. Once you answer at least 80%of the items correctly, you will have completed the module and be able to move on with additional modules in the course until you complete all modules.

Certificate of Completion

Once you complete all of the course modules (pre-tests and learning modules) and score 80% or better on all of the post-tests and fill-out a course evaluation, your certificate of completion will be mailed to you
