Question	Example responses
How can we improve future trainings? (n = 119)	• More discussion (“More discussion would have been helpful”) • More case presentations • More engaging presentation (“not going [too] fast”; “possible use of media/video”)
Racial equity & social justice improvement (n = 90)	• Insufficient time/complex topic (“In only 1 h it is not possible to cover all these bases”) • Include struggles that uniquely impact individuals in minority groups (“pointing out the difference in experiences of racial minorities and majority groups when they are in situations like needing to be de-escalated would have been important and helpful”) • More statistics (“Maybe a graph on the rates of AUD in different racial/ethnic groups”) • Impact of race/ethnicity (“Maybe acknowledge that race/ethnicity and culture impact our values and belief systems, including health topics”) • Disparities in access to care (“Additional details/insight around differences in access to care between demographics”)
One thing you took away from this training? (n = 68)	• Complexity of diagnoses (“How complex the diagnosis for PTSD is and how much overlap there is”) • Gender/race disparities (“Disparities between men and women and within different racial/ethnic communities”) • Efficacy of integrative treatment (“Integrative treatment is highly effective–that's a potential game-changer [system-changer]”) • Importance of building rapport
Topics/ideas for future trainings? (n = 124)	• Specific co-occurring disorders (“AUD/SUD and ADHD,” “personality disorders and effective treatments,” “schizophrenia and OUD,” “depression related to using,” “bipolar addiction issues”) • Psychotherapy for SUDs (“EMDR/MI/Expressive Art,” “usefulness of psychotherapy as an element of OUD treatment”) • Medications for SUDs (“appropriate evaluating and medication management with polysubstance use disorder,” “Long term side effects of agonist medication – impacts on mental health”) • Reducing stigma (“How to reduce stigma amongst professionals”, “address bias and stigmas and the effect on staff and clients”, “language to reduce stigma”) • Techniques for/conversations around different substance use goals (“I am always interested [to] learn more about helping patients achieve sustained sobriety,” “more strategies to support the conversation around reducing use,” “what are reasonable expectations of relapse within the OUD community,” “not using opiates but continue to use marijuana or other substances”) • Housing considerations (“ways to advocate for low-barrier access to health care and challenges around Homeless shelters for these folks,” “homelessness and housing”) • Specific populations (“addictions in old age”, “youth usage,” “working with sex offenders,” “LGBTQI culturally competent care,” “opioid use disorder and pregnancy”) • Specific traumatic experiences (“human trafficking,” “domestic violence”)
