DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the increasing dissemination of research-based substance use prevention curricula, attention is now turning to promoting the fidelity of implementation. Fidelity refers to several components of implementation, including adhering to prescribed curriculum methods, insuring appropriate teaching methods, and making appropriate adaptations when needed that do not threaten the curriculum's integrity. To implement with fidelity, teachers need to understand the curriculum's objectives, and need to be motivated to deliver the program as designed. To promote fidelity, manuals and brief initial training have become standard procedure, and developers are now making use of information delivered through online and multimedia mechanisms, as well as technical assistance upon request. However, research on the dissemination of educational innovations suggests that personalized coaching may also be necessary to achieve prevention goals. The proposed study will test the relative effects of two training conditions to support the implementation of All Stars, a research-based curriculum. Teachers in the "standard" training condition will receive initial training, technical assistance on request, online and video instruction about the program, and Internet-based "just-in-time" support. In addition to the standard training components, teachers in the "enhanced" training condition will receive onsite coaching, proactive technical assistance, and will participate in a program to recognize their mastery of curriculum delivery. We will test the effects of training in a randomized experimental design, following teachers over three consecutive years. Their curriculum adherence, promotion of student interactivity, curriculum adaptations, motivation to implement the program, and understanding of targeted mediators will be assessed through videotaped observations of their classroom performance and through surveys and interviews. Effects on student-level mediators and substance use will be measured through student surveys. The cost-effectiveness of the enhanced relative to the standard training conditions will be assessed. Study results will inform the prevention field concerning the potential for personalized coaching and technical assistance to promote curriculum fidelity and affect key student-level mediating variables.

描述（由申请人提供）： 随着以研究为基础的药物使用预防课程的日益普及，注意力现在转向促进实施的忠实性。忠实是指实施的几个组成部分，包括坚持规定的课程方法，确保适当的教学方法，并在必要时作出适当的调整，不威胁课程的完整性。为了忠实地实施，教师需要了解课程的目标，并需要有动力按照设计交付课程。为了提高可靠性，手册和简短的初步培训已成为标准程序，开发人员现在正在利用通过在线和多媒体机制提供的信息，以及应要求提供的技术援助。然而，关于传播教育创新的研究表明，个性化辅导对于实现预防目标也是必要的。拟议的研究将测试两个培训条件的相对效果，以支持实施全明星，一个研究型课程。在"标准"培训条件下的教师将接受初步培训，应要求提供技术援助，有关该方案的在线和视频指导，以及基于互联网的"及时"支持。除了标准的培训内容外，"强化"培训条件下的教师还将接受现场辅导、积极主动的技术援助，并将参加一个项目，以表彰他们对课程讲授的掌握。我们将在一个随机实验设计中测试培训的效果，连续三年跟踪教师。他们的课程坚持，促进学生的互动，课程调整，动机，实施该计划，并有针对性的调解人的理解将通过录像观察他们的课堂表现，并通过调查和访谈进行评估。对学生一级的介质和物质使用的影响将通过学生调查来衡量。将评估相对于标准培训条件而言，加强培训的成本效益。研究结果将告知预防领域关于个性化辅导和技术援助的潜力，以促进课程的保真度和影响关键的学生层面的中介变量。
