DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Stress, depression and other mental health disorders are prevalent, disabling conditions that have substantial effects on the health and productivity of the work force. Although effective approaches to the prevention and treatment of these problems are available, a large proportion of the work force - perhaps a majority of those afflicted - do not seek interventions for their problems, largely because of the stigma attached to the mental disorders, coupled with a lack of exposure to available interventions. The goal of this project is to develop and test an interactive, multi-media computer-based stress and mood management program for the workplace. By presenting topics of depression, anxiety and substance abuse within a program of stress management - a relatively non-stigmatized topic -- working adults can acquire the necessary awareness, skills and motivation to prevent, or seek treatment for, these costly disorders. In Phase I, a prototype CD-ROM stress and mood management program will be developed and tested in focus groups of working adults, and interviews will be conducted with human resource managers and workplace health professionals to assess the feasibility and commercial viability of the program. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Stress, depression and other mental disorders have considerable impact on the health care costs and the productivity of the American work force. Corporations and their managed care organizations are seeking effective techniques for the prevention and treatment of these costly, disabling disorders. Although computer-based programs exist for addressing stress or treating depression, the proposed approach - a CD-ROM-based interactive, multi-media program that addresses depression, anxiety and substance abuse within a stress management program - should have substantial appeal to major corporations and their managed care organizations.

描述（由申请人提供）：压力，抑郁症和其他精神健康障碍是普遍存在的，对劳动力的健康和生产力有重大影响的致残条件。 虽然有预防和治疗这些问题的有效办法，但很大一部分劳动力-也许是受影响者中的大多数-并不寻求对其问题的干预，这主要是因为精神障碍所带来的耻辱，加上缺乏接触现有干预措施的机会。 这个项目的目标是开发和测试一个互动的，多媒体的计算机为基础的压力和情绪管理程序的工作场所。 通过在压力管理方案中提出抑郁、焦虑和药物滥用的主题----这是一个相对没有污名化的主题----工作的成年人可以获得必要的意识、技能和动机，以预防或寻求治疗这些代价高昂的疾病。 在第一阶段，将开发一个原型光盘压力和情绪管理方案，并在工作成年人的重点群体中进行测试，并与人力资源经理和工作场所健康专业人员进行访谈，以评估该方案的可行性和商业可行性。 拟定商业应用： 压力、抑郁和其他精神障碍对美国劳动力的医疗保健成本和生产力有相当大的影响。 公司和他们的管理式护理组织正在寻求有效的技术来预防和治疗这些昂贵的致残性疾病。 虽然存在基于计算机的程序来解决压力或治疗抑郁症，但所提出的方法-基于CD-ROM的交互式多媒体程序，在压力管理程序中解决抑郁症，焦虑症和药物滥用-应该对大公司及其管理式护理组织有很大的吸引力。
