DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) The 2-part hypothesis to be tested is 1) scientists can increase the knowledge of adult professional audiences about new research findings related to drug use, abuse, and dependence. Furthermore, 2) this information will measurably change the audiences' beliefs about the value of science and about the nature and etiology of drug-related behaviors, and will alter counseling-related behaviors. The model we are creating is an educational model consisting of 4 parts: 1) solid evidence to convince scientists that speaking to non-scientists (mainly treatment professionals) about new drug-related research is necessary and possible; 2) strong evidence that such educational activities by scientists are effective in producing knowledge transfer, belief changes, and behavioral change; 3) demonstration of proven methods that any motivated scientist can use to educate professionals and interested public audiences about new addiction research; and 4) existence of influential (care-giving, professional) public audiences clamoring for such scientific information. Practically, only trained or naturally motivated scientists will use the model. Our project therefore includes methods to train and motivate scientists to use the model and to identify scientists from all addiction research disciplines (biological, behavioral, clinical, epiderniologic, and services research) who wish to perform educational activities. Data from our ongoing NIAAA project demonstrate significant long-term changes in beliefs and knowledge as a result of well-designed workshops. Major themes of the workshops are 1) diagnostic criteria for drug abuse and dependency; 2) the neuroscientific basis for chemical dependency and treatment; 3) co-occurring psychopathology; 4) the use of animals in research, and 5) how research is conducted and how to distinguish high quality research. The existing educational partnership at our university (in the form of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center) has yielded significant, replicable results. After 8 years of effort and commitment and having successfully reached over 20,000 influential lay persons, we now wish 1) to cover more drug-related and addiction issues in our workshops; 2) to exploit educational innovations to increase audience retention of knowledge, 3) to measure long-term changes in beliefs and behavior linked to educational programs, 4) to provide communication skills programs to graduate students and other scientists performing addiction research, and 5) to enhance our partnership's website through upgrades and related links with other organizations. Most important, our core instructors are uniquely experienced, and fully committed to expanding our model into other drug-related research topics.

描述：（申请人摘要） 要检验的假设分为两部分：1）科学家可以增加知识 的成年专业观众了解与药物相关的新研究成果 使用、滥用和依赖。此外，2）该信息将可衡量 改变观众对科学价值和自然的信念 和药物相关行为的病因学，并将改变与咨询相关的 行为。我们正在创建的模型是一个教育模型，由 4 个部分组成 部分：1）确凿的证据让科学家相信与非科学家交谈 （主要是治疗专业人士）关于新药相关的研究是必要的 并且可能； 2）强有力的证据表明科学家的此类教育活动 能够有效地产生知识转移、信念改变和行为 改变; 3）展示任何有积极性的科学家都可以使用的经过验证的方法 教育专业人士和感兴趣的公众有关新成瘾的知识 研究; 4) 存在有影响力的（关心、专业的）公众 观众迫切需要此类科学信息。实际上，只有经过培训 或者自然动机的科学家会使用该模型。因此我们的项目 包括培训和激励科学家使用该模型的方法以及 确定来自所有成瘾研究学科（生物学、 行为、临床、流行病学和服务研究）希望 进行教育活动。我们正在进行的 NIAAA 项目的数据表明 信念和知识的重大长期变化 精心设计的研讨会。研讨会的主要主题是 1) 诊断 药物滥用和依赖性标准； 2）神经科学基础 化学依赖性和治疗； 3）同时发生的精神病理学； 4）使用 研究中动物的数量，以及 5) 研究如何进行以及如何区分 高质量的研究。我们大学现有的教育合作伙伴关系 （以成瘾科学研究和教育中心的形式） 取得了显着的、可复制的结果。经过8年的努力和承诺 并已成功接触超过 20,000 名有影响力的外行人士，我们现在 希望 1) 在我们的研讨会中涵盖更多与毒品相关和成瘾的问题； 2）到 利用教育创新来提高受众对知识的保留，3) 衡量与教育相关的信念和行为的长期变化 计划，4）为研究生提供沟通技巧课程 其他科学家进行成瘾研究，以及 5) 增强我们的 合作伙伴的网站通过升级和与其他人的相关链接 组织。最重要的是，我们的核心讲师经验丰富， 并完全致力于将我们的模型扩展到其他药物相关研究 主题。
