DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the American Medical Association suggest that there is an epidemic of alcohol abuse among the elderly. Since the number of elderly using home healthcare is a rapidly growing, it is important for home health care professionals to be aware of alcohol use by their patients and of the potential negative effects of this use. The goal of the proposed Phase I SBIR Project is to develop an integrated, interactive, multimedia nursing continuing education (CE) course (Alcohol Use and Abuse in the Elderly) add screening instrument (Elderscreen) to provide home healthcare nurses with knowledge, tools, and skills to assess their senior patients for alcohol use/abuse and make appropriate referrals. To maintain their licensing, nurses in many states are required to take CE credits, which gives this product great commercial potential. In Phase I, Danya proposes to develop the online nursing CE course with accompanying screening instrument and Alcohol Fact sheets. The online nursing CE course will undergo a pre-test/post-test feasibility pilot test evaluation during Phase I. In Phase II, we will develop supplemental materials to the course including a Case Study Video and Online Resource Center Website, and a full-scale evaluation of the online nursing CE course will be conducted.

描述（由申请人提供）：药物滥用和精神卫生服务管理局和美国医学协会建议，老年人中存在酗酒的流行病。由于使用家庭保健的老年人数量正在迅速增长，家庭保健专业人员必须意识到患者使用酒精以及这种使用的潜在负面影响。拟议的第一阶段SBIR项目的目标是开发一个综合的、互动的、多媒体的护理继续教育（CE）课程（老年人酒精使用和滥用）添加筛查工具（Elderscreen），为家庭护理护士提供知识、工具和技能来评估老年患者的酒精使用/滥用情况并做出适当的转介。为了保持他们的执照，许多州的护士被要求获得CE学分，这使得该产品具有巨大的商业潜力。在第一阶段，Danya建议开发在线护理CE课程，并附带筛选工具和酒精情况说明书。在线护理CE课程将在第一阶段进行前测/后测可行性试点测试评估。在第二阶段，我们将开发补充材料的过程中，包括案例研究视频和在线资源中心网站，并进行全面评估的在线护理CE课程。
