Recent national survey data indicate that drug use among adolescents is on the rise, underscoring the need to reach adolescents and develop innovative prevention intervention technologies. This Phase I application requests 6 months of funding to develop and test prototype CD-ROM material for an effective drug abuse prevention program called Life Skills Training (LST). The LST-program is an extensively evaluated school- based prevention program for middle/junior high school students that has been found to produce long-term reductions in drug use prevalence (relative to controls) over a six-year period of 44% and in polydrug use of up to 66%. The proposed CD-ROM will be based on the original LST model and will consist of interactive video material designed to teach drug resistance skills, normative education, and general life skills. During Phase I, prototype materials will be developed, reviewed, and subjected to focus group testing. These materials will be revised and more fully developed and tested during Phase II. The resulting CD-ROM materials will facilitate the adoption and utilization of a proven drug abuse prevention program in a flexible and engaging format that can be used in a variety of settings including at home and in after-school programs. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Drug abuse is a major concern to parents and educators. Given that there are few proven methods for prevention of drug abuse and national data show that the problem is getting worse, attractive, innovative, effective, and easy-to-use prevention intervention technologies that are sensitive and relevant to cultural and gender differences will have tremendous commercial potential.

最近的全国调查数据表明，青少年吸毒人数正在上升，这突出表明需要接触青少年并开发创新的预防干预技术。第一阶段申请需要6个月的资金，用于开发和测试称为生活技能培训（LST）的有效药物滥用预防计划的原型CD-ROM材料。LST计划是一项针对初中/初中学生的、经过广泛评估的以学校为基础的预防计划，已发现该计划在六年期间使药物使用流行率（相对于对照组）长期降低44%，使多种药物使用率降低高达66%。拟议的光盘将以最初的LST模式为基础，包括旨在教授耐药技能、规范教育和一般生活技能的交互式录像材料。在第一阶段，将开发、审查原型材料，并进行重点小组测试。这些材料将在第二阶段加以修订和更充分的发展和测试。由此产生的光盘材料将有助于采用和利用一个行之有效的药物滥用预防方案，该方案采用灵活和吸引人的形式，可用于各种环境，包括家庭和课后方案。建议的商业应用：药物滥用是家长和教育工作者的主要关注点。鉴于预防药物滥用的行之有效的方法很少，而且国家数据显示问题正在恶化，因此，对文化和性别差异敏感和相关的有吸引力的、创新的、有效的和易于使用的预防干预技术将具有巨大的商业潜力。
