A web-based IT Solution for Outcome Based Prevention

描述(申请人提供)：第二阶段的主要目标是将IGTO完全开发为一种准备好大规模商业分发和部署的产品。IGTO是一个旨在帮助实践者展示成果的能力建设系统。IGTO系统利用创新的网上互动技术，利用科学和“最佳做法”帮助预防药物滥用的从业人员和政策制定者回答反映以下关切的10个问责制问题：需求和资源、目标、循证干预、适合性、能力、规划、实施、评价、持续质量改进和可持续性。/GTO第二阶段有两个具体目标：1)进一步将IGTO原型发展成一个功能齐全的商业产品，为从业人员和政策制定者提供基于成果的问责制的10个步骤。IGTO作为注重成果的问责的知识型信息技术解决方案的可行性研究将解决这一目标。采用多种方法，包括在线调查，在四个试验点持续评估技术优势和商业可行性。2)就药物滥用预防从业者使用和制度化IGTO的程度以及这种使用对其预防能力的影响进行探索性的事后纵向研究，以规划、实施和评估其预防干预措施。将使用以CBAM(基于关切的采用模式)方法为基础的评估利用率和能力的创新工具，以及评估可持续性的制度化工具。最初的反馈和支持信表明，IGTO的市场潜力很大，很容易被接受。特别是，包括基金会、跨站点评估者、联盟以及联邦和州机构在内的四类客户可以立即从这项创新中受益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major objective of Phase II is to fully develop iGTO into a product that is ready for large-scale commercial distribution and deployment. iGTO is a capacity-building system designed to help practitioners demonstrate results. Utilizing an innovative interactive web-based technology, the iGTO system uses science and "best practices" to help practitioners and policymakers in substance abuse prevention answer 10 accountability questions reflecting the following concerns: needs and resources, goals, evidence-based interventions, fit, capacity, planning, implementation, evaluation, continuous quality improvement, and sustainability. /GTO Phase II has two specific aims: 1) To further develop the iGTO prototype into a fully functional commercial product that provides practitioner and policymakers with a 10-step approach to results-based accountability. The feasibility study of iGTO as a knowledge-based IT solution for results-based accountability will address this aim. Multiple methods, including on-line surveys, are employed to evaluate technical merit and commercial feasibility on an ongoing basis in the four pilot sites. 2) To conduct exploratory longitudinal pre-post research on the degree to which substance abuse prevention practitioners use and institutionalize iGTO and the effect this use has on their prevention capacity to plan, implement and evaluate their preventive interventions. Innovative tools based on CBAM (Concerns-Based Adoption Model) methodology for assessing utilization and capacity, and tools on institutionalization for assessing sustainability will be used to conduct the study. The initial feedback and support letters indicated that the market potential for iGTO is large and receptive. Specially, four types of customers including foundations, cross-site evaluators, coalitions, and federal and state agencies can benefit immediately from this innovation.
