The purpose of this study was to determine if any relationships existed between participant perceptions of facilitator effectiveness and the qualifications of 218 facilitators in the Navy Alcohol Safety Action Program (NASAP). The ex post facto design posed four questions and cross-tabulated participant ratings of facilitator effectiveness with the education and certification levels, personal alcohol abuse history and sex of the facilitators. / Chi square results indicated that facilitators with the highest levels of education and professional preparation were perceived by participants as highly effective significantly more often than were facilitators with less education or professional preparation. Female facilitators were perceived by participants as highly effective significantly more often than were males. No significant differences in the participant perceptions of effectiveness were found to exist between facilitators who were recovering alcoholics and those who had no personal alcohol abuse history. / The study concluded that participant perceptions of the effectiveness of NASAP facilitators were positive and that more formal education and professional preparation for facilitators does result in higher participant perceptions of effectiveness. The results of this study confirmed suggestions in the literature that those facilitators who were most able to project helping relationship skills were more frequently rated as highly effective by class participants. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-09, Section: A, page: 3873. / Thesis (Educat.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
