Efficacy of the SAFE Program to Promote Preventative Behaviors of Airborne Diseases (COVID-19) and Improve Well-Being for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in the Workplace
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SAFE Employment Training for Communicable Diseases and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 67 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a systematic training approach targeting behaviors to increase safety and prevention of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 in the workplace for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This project is designed to determine proof of concept and proof of product for a peer support intervention, the SAFE program, to increase knowledge and safe workplace practices. There is an identified immediate need for individuals with IDD to receive training in an accessible format. The SAFE program has been developed in an accessible format for those with IDD. It focuses on education regarding actionable behaviors that reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. The study will implement a peer-mediated and occupational therapy lead program, SAFE, to identify and address potential implementation issues and further refine the program curriculum. Additionally, the efficacy of the program on perceived safety and well-being, observable preventative behaviors and self-advocacy will be examined.

We would also like to know if you learn more when the SAFE program is taught by a peer (person who also has an intellectual developmental disability).
