Interactive CD-ROM & Website for Monitoring & Training

描述(由调查员提供)：积极行动(PA)计划有 自1982年以来一直用于毒品预防。这是一个全面的计划， 包括K-12教室、学校气候变化、家长组件 参与和社区伙伴关系。评估数据表明其 减少药物使用和其他问题行为的有效性，并提高 学校里的表演。这所学校被公认为模范综合学校 安全和无毒品学校的改革计划和有效计划。 评估数据还发现，当学校 接受积极行动公司(PAL)的培训。随着这种认可而来的是 需要一种更有效的教师/工作人员培训方法，以及 更多地以技术为基础的方法来监测执行情况。因此，朋友 建议修改其当前的培训和实施视频，以创建 互动光盘，并对PAL大师培训员进行新方法培训。这些 活动将在第一阶段开始，第二阶段将扩大到包括 一个互动网站。我们还将开发一个包含数据的网站 收集学校的实施活动和进展情况。可能的 将分阶段评估视频/光盘培训材料的效果 一、随机分配八所学校，分四种情况：1)面对面 仅来自PI的在职培训，2)只读光盘，3)在职+光盘， (4)不接受培训。如果发现有效，那么在第二阶段，方法将是 扩展为基于网络的。基于网络的监测可能的有效性 实施情况也将在第一阶段进行评估，并在第二阶段进行完善。 培训PAT大师培训师的效果也将在阶段进行评估 我。 建议的商业应用： 这有很大的潜力告知以学校为基础的预防计划 培训和监督执行情况，以确保该计划与 保真度和最大效率。这是最大的问题之一 预防计划面临着。它不仅对PA项目有帮助，还能帮助他们学习 如何利用技术来加强培训和实施 但它将有助于所有预防方案，因为它具有有效的 要效仿的模型。它将提供预防计划，提供培训和技术 帮助兽医标准化定制他们的服务.

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): The Positive Action (PA) program has been used for drug prevention since 1982. It is a comprehensive program that includes components for K- 12 classrooms, school climate change, parent involvement and community partnerships. Evaluation data demonstrate its effectiveness at reducing drug use and other problem behaviors and enhancing school performance. It has been recognized as a model comprehensive school reform program and an effective program for Safe and Drug Free Schools. Evaluation data also find that the program is more effective when schools receive training from Positive Action, Inc (PAl). With this recognition comes the need for a more effective approach to teacher/staff training, along with a more technology-based approach to monitoring implementation. Therefore, PAl proposes to revise its current training and implementation videos, to create interactive CD-ROMs, and train PAl master trainers in the new approach. These activities will begin in Phase I, and in Phase II will be expanded to include an interactive website. We will also develop a website that will include data collection of schools' implementation activities and progress. The likely effectiveness of the video/CD-ROM training materials will be evaluated in Phase I. We will randomly assign eight schools to four conditions: 1) face-to-face in-service training from the PI only, 2) CD-ROM only, 3) in-service + CD-ROM, and 4) no training. If found effective, then in Phase II the approach will be expanded to be web-based. The likely effectiveness of web-based monitoring of implementation will also be assessed in Phase I, and refined in Phase II. The effectiveness of training PAT master trainers will also be evaluated in Phase I. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: This has great potential for informing school-based prevention programs about training and monitoring implementation to assure that the program is used with fidelity and maximum effectiveness. This is one of the biggest problems prevention programs face. Not only would it serve the PA program to learn ways that technology could be used to enhance the training and implementation process but it would assist all prevention programs by having an effective model to emulate. It would give prevention programs providing training and technical assistance a way to standardize vet customize their service.
