Computerized ASI Follow-up and Outcome System

描述（由申请人提供）： 预计药物滥用服务提供系统将进行成果研究，但缺乏收集后续数据所需的资源和专门知识。在这个STTR中，Inflexxion和Brandeis大学的Heller社会政策和管理学院提议开发计算机化的ASI后续行动和结果系统（CAFOS）。CAFOS将使临床站点和非研究型机构的管理人员能够以实际成本以自动化、计算机化的方式收集治疗后随访数据。CAFOS将与现有的Inflexxion产品、ASI的多媒体版本和向管理员提供分析ASI数据的统计工具的网站相结合。CAFOS将包括一个多媒体客户准备工具，旨在鼓励客户与后续程序合作，后续ASI的可靠和有效的交互式语音应答版本，以及一个数据报告系统，该系统将包括无应答模型，以调整低于预期的客户后续应答率。第一阶段将开发客户准备工具和IVR评估以及无应答调整模型的演示。客户接受度将沿着IVR和传统ASI管理之间的对应关系进行评估。第二阶段将评价该系统的有效性、产生可接受的答复率的能力以及成本效益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Substance abuse service delivery systems are expected to conduct outcome studies but lack the resources and expertise needed to collect follow-up data. In this STTR, Inflexxion and Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management propose to develop the Computerized ASI Follow-up and Outcome System (CAFOS). CAFOS will empower administrators of clinical sites and non-research oriented institutions to collect post-treatment follow-up data in an automated, computerized way at a realistic cost. CAFOS will be integrated with existing Inflexxion products, a multimedia version of the ASI and a website providing administrators with statistical tools to analyze ASI data. CAFOS will consist of a multimedia client preparation tool designed to encourage client cooperation with follow-up procedures, a reliable and valid interactive voice response (IVR) version of the follow-up ASI, and a data reporting system that will include non-response modeling to adjust for lower than desired client follow-up response rates. Phase I will develop demos of the client preparation tool and the IVR assessment, as well as the non-response adjustment model. Client acceptance will be evaluated along with correspondence between the IVR and traditional ASI administration. Phase II will evaluate the system's validity, capacity to produce acceptable response rates, and cost-effectiveness.
