DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed project develops and tests an interactive, multimedia (CD-ROM) adolescent alcohol and other drug assessment instrument called the Multimedia Addiction Severity Index for Adolescents (ASI-A-MV). This tool is intended for use with adolescents (aged 13-18 years) at the outset of substance abuse treatment or upon entry into the juvenile justice system to guide treatment planning. The numbers of adolescents with diagnosed substance abuse problems is distressing both in treatment facilities and in the criminal justice system. Reported statistics do not include youth with substance abuse issues who are institutionalized or otherwise in trouble but have not been identified as misusing substances. Adolescent alcohol and other drug use frequently occurs in a constellation with other risky behaviors. The financial and societal costs of alcohol and/or drug abuse by adolescents are high. Early substance abuse can significantly delay attainment of normative developmental tasks, and estimated health and criminal costs for a lifetime of heavy drug abuse are staggering. Such considerations highlight the importance of early assessment and treatment for adolescents who are struggling with substance use issues. In Phase I, a paper-version scripted flowchart of the ASI-A-MV was created. Phase II will entail production of the ASI-A-MV CD-ROM, usability testing of the program to ensure functionality, and a clinical field trial to finalize a scoring system and determine reliability and validity of the ASI-A-MV.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提议的项目开发和测试了一种互动的多媒体（CD-ROM）青少年酒精和其他称为青少年多媒体成瘾严重程度指数（ASI-A-MV）的药物评估工具。该工具旨在在药物滥用治疗开始或进入青少年司法系统时与青少年（13-18岁）一起使用，以指导治疗计划。患有诊断药物滥用问题的青少年人数在治疗设施和刑事司法系统中都感到困扰。报告的统计数据不包括遇到滥用药物问题的年轻人，这些问题被制度化或陷入困境，但尚未被确定为滥用物质。青春期酒精和其他药物使用经常发生在其他风险行为的星座中。青少年饮酒和/或滥用药物的财务和社会成本很高。早期的药物滥用可能会大大延迟实现规范性发展任务，并且一生中估计的健康和犯罪费用造成严重的药物滥用，这是惊人的。这些考虑因素强调了早期评估和治疗对于在吸毒问题上苦苦挣扎的青少年的重要性。在第一阶段，创建了ASI-A-MV的纸质脚本流程图。第二阶段将需要生产ASI-A-MV CD-ROM，对程序的可用性测试以及确保功能的可用性测试以及临床现场试验，以最终确定评分系统并确定ASI-A-MV的可靠性和有效性。
