DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aims of this Phase I SBIR application are (1) to provide additional validation data on the Structured Observation of Academic and Play Settings (SOAPS), a research paradigm for assessing the symptom behaviors of Attention Deficit Disorder; and (2) to estimate the validity and feasibility of a new automated, evidence-based version, the Detailed Record of Executive Functions (DREFT). The DREFT is a convenient 15-minute analogue procedure that provides an objective assessment of inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors. During Phase I, we will update the 1985 SOAPS manual (Roberts, Nilich, & Loney) with findings from our computer archives on 960 clinic-referred and normal boys and girls between 6 and 15 years of age. We will also analyze data on 95 children who have been administered the DREFT, providing validation findings for the new automated procedure and comparing it to the SOAPS in validity, reliability, and practicality. These findings will be assembled in a preliminary manual for potential users of the DREFT. If warranted, during Phase II, we would administer the DREFT to additional clinic-referred children, especially to increase numbers of preschool, female, and minority children; assemble representative standardization data on normal children; and produce a final manual for the DREFT procedure. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The Detailed Record of Executive Functions (DREFT) is a brief, automated, evidence based behavior observation procedure that could be used routinely by pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, and psychologists as a cost effective and objective supplement in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related child and adolescent behavior problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段 SBIR 申请的目的 (1) 提供有关结构化观察的额外验证数据 学术和游戏设置 (SOAPS)，一种用于评估 注意力缺陷障碍的症状行为； (2) 估计 新的自动化、基于证据的版本的有效性和可行性 执行职能的详细记录 (DREFT)。 DREFT 是一个方便的 15 分钟的模拟程序可提供客观评估 注意力不集中、多动和冲动行为。在第一阶段，我们将 根据我们的发现更新 1985 年 SOAPS 手册（Roberts、Nilich 和 Loney） 960 名 6 岁以下门诊转诊正常男孩和女孩的计算机档案 15 岁。我们还将分析 95 名接受过教育的儿童的数据。 管理 DREFT，为新的自动化系统提供验证结果 程序并将其与 SOAPS 的有效性、可靠性和 实用性。这些发现将汇集在一份初步手册中 DREFT 的潜在用户。如果有必要，在第二阶段，我们将 对其他临床转诊的儿童进行 DREFT，尤其是 增加学龄前儿童、女童和少数民族儿童的数量；集合 正常儿童的代表性标准化数据；并产生最终的 DREFT 程序手册。 拟议的商业应用： 执行功能详细记录 (DREFT) 是一种简短、自动化、基于证据的行为观察程序，可供儿科医生、家庭医生、精神科医生和心理学家常规使用，作为注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 及相关儿童和青少年行为问题的诊断和治疗监测的经济有效且客观的补充。
