For our study outcomes, we used both parametric and non-parametric t-tests to examine mean differences between outcomes atbaseline and midpoint, and baseline and endpoint. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The findings demonstrate that PeerCaregiver Navigation (PCN) is acceptable, appropriate, and feasibleto deliver to hospice family caregivers of cancer patients.Appropriateness of our selected target outcomes was determinedby confirming expected measurement change in depressive symp-toms (lower), anxiety symptoms (lower), benefit finding (higher),and self-efficacy (higher). Exit interviews revealed that participantsresponded favorably to our selectedmeasures for these outcomes andto our data collection time intervals. Moreover, recruitment and con-senting processes, survey completion rates, and attrition outcomes(i.e., study exit due to active withdrawal vs. patient death) were ana-lyzed to inform recruitment and retention feasibility for future stud-ies. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Peer Caregiver Navigation(PCN) was determined to be feasible, acceptable, and appropriateto hospice family caregivers of patients with cancer. Moreover,PCN has the potential to improve caregivers' symptoms of psycho-logical distress by providing them much needed psychoeducation,coping skills training, and emotional support.162Training in Responsible Conduct of Research: Evolutionover 12 yearsKaren McCracken, Melissa Mudd, Savannah McNichol,Cynthia Morris and Kathyrn SchuffOregon Health & Science UniversityOBJECTIVES/GOALS:We developed institution-wide RCR trainingto include all required elements; support trainees to identify key eth-ical questions that arise in research; and to identify methods to iden-tify a solution; and disseminate results. METHODS/STUDYPOPULATION: In 2011, we participated in developing an experi-mental model of RCR training led by the University of Michigan.We continue to offer this training model to career developmentawardees in clinical and translational research at OHSU across theinstitution. Interactive discussion in faculty and trainee groupsincludes responsibilities of a researcher and a systematic processto address real world research ethics issues. Each participant identi-fies a key research issue they have encountered and presents a posterat the final session.We have tracked post-training assessment of par-ticipant confidence in ethical decision making and in the range oftopics identified by participants. RESULTS/ANTICIPATEDRESULTS: Since 2012, 227 scholars and trainees have participatedin the program with 44 faculty mentors facilitating. We will describethe current curriculum as it has evolved over the past 12 years, pre-senting trainees with an approach to identify ethical challenges thatarise in their research and identify approaches to find a practical sol-ution. We will report on the specific challenges in research ethicsidentified by participants over this period and how they haveevolved. We will also present pre- and post-training data about con-fidence in ethical decision making. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE:This approach to RCR training is well-received, has evolved overtime, and has led to dissemination. Success is attributed to allowingchoice in topics relevant to trainees and practicality of the stepwiseapproach that is transferable to any situation.Evaluation163Knowledge and Implementation of Tobacco ControlPractices in Rural Louisiana Community Health CentersMichael D. CelestinJr., Ty-Runet Bryant, Tung-Sung Tseng,Krysten Jones-Winn and Qingzhao YuLSU Health New OrleansOBJECTIVES/GOALS: Tobacco use remains a significant publichealth problem in rural America. Community health centers(CHCs) can help reduce the burden of tobacco use in rural areas,but we know little about their knowledge and implementation of bestpractices for tobacco control. This study assessed the knowledge andexistence of tobacco control practices in rural CHCs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using a cross-sectional study design, weelectronically surveyed health administrators and providers (n=64)in six rural CHCs in Louisiana between March 2021 and June2023. The assessment measured 1) knowledge of the U.S. PublicHealth Service Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating TobaccoUse, 2) the priority given to smoking cessation programming, 3)the presence of best practices for tobacco control programming, suchas having a tobacco control champion and team, 4) establishment oftreatment and smoke-free campus policies, and 5) existence of refer-ral procedure to external cessation services. We used descriptivestatistics to characterize survey participants and responses.RESULTS/ANTICIPATEDRESULTS:Most of the respondents werefemale (80%), White (61.8%), between 35 and 49 years of age(48.1%), and non-smokers (72.7%). Only half (51.6%) reportedknowledge of the guideline for treating tobacco use among allrespondents. Only a third (32.8%) said their health center gavesmoking cessation high priority relative to other health priorities.Only a third (35.9%) reported having a tobacco champion; less thana fifth (18.8%) said they had a tobacco control team at their healthcenter. Although all health centers had a smoke-free campus policy,about a quarter (23.4%) were unaware of the policy. Less than a quar-ter (23.4%) reported having a written policy for smoking cessationtreatment at their health center, and less than half (46.7%) knewabout cessation services to which they could refer patients.DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Rural CHCs had limited knowl-edge of the guideline for tobacco use treatment. Smoking cessationlacked priority, and the prevalence of tobacco control best practicesimplementation was low. Rural CHCs must improve their imple-mentation of guideline-recommend policies and clinical strategiesto promote treatment and reduce the burden of tobacco use.165Predicting Success: A Mixed Model of KL2 TraineeProfiles and OutcomesAlyson Eggleston and Jessica PetriePenn State UniversityOBJECTIVES/GOALS: Penn State CTSI supports KL2 career devel-opment awards for faculty seeking to become leaders in clinical andtranslational research. CTSAs can benefit from a better understand-ing of KL2 applicant profiles and trainee outcomes. Predictivemodeling of KL2 records provides insights into institutional proc-esses and continuous improvement goals.
