描述（由研究者提供）：与时间、成本和忠诚度相关的障碍继续阻碍循证药物使用预防课程的采用和有效实施。为了促进学校教育工作者有效利用循证方案，Keneko通信公司将制作一个以技能为基础的教师培训光盘原型，以实施Keepin' It真实的，这是一个基于文化的物质使用预防课程，已证明在减少中学生吸烟、酗酒和大麻使用方面有效。第一阶段项目的目的是确定制作和使用交互式光盘培训和在线培训支助的技术优点和可行性，以便使教师能够忠实地实施“保持真实的"课程。 设计的目的有三：（1）评估学校使用互动式唯读光碟培训和网上执行支援的能力和兴趣程度;（2）制作一个唯读光碟微型单元原型，让教师为教授课程中的主要技能活动作好准备;（3）评估教师对教师培训唯读光碟的满意程度、表现和接受程度。二十位教师将使用光碟，并透过纸笔调查及电话访问，以有系统的方式收集他们的经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Barriers related to time, cost, and fidelity continues to impede the adoption and effective implementation of evidence-based substance use prevention curricula. To promote effective use of evidence-based programs by educators in schools, Keneko Communications will create a prototype of a skills-based teacher training CD-ROM to implement Keepin' It Real, a culturally-based substance use prevention curricula which has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use in middle school youth. The aim of this Phase I project is to establish the technical merit and feasibility of producing and using interactive CD-ROM training and online training support for preparing teachers to implement the Keepin' It Real curriculum with fidelity. Three objectives guide the design: 1) Evaluate the capability and level of interest of schools to use the interactive CD-ROM training and online implementation support; 2) Produce a prototype CD-ROM mini-module to prepare teachers to teach a key skills-based activity from the curriculum; and 3) Evaluate teachers' satisfaction, performance and acceptance of the CD-ROM for teacher training. Twenty teachers will use the CD-ROM. Results of their experience will be collected through paper/pencil surveys and telephone interviews using a structured protocol.
