DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Through previous grants, a successful educational model using web adventures to teach adolescents about drugs of abuse has been created. The title of the prior web adventure series on OPIOIDS and CLUB DRUGS is THE RECONSTRUCTORS (http://reconstructors.rice.edu). It has been field tested and proven to have significant educational impact. A similar series, titled MEDMYST (http://medmyst.rice.edu), that focuses on infectious diseases was also produced and tested. Both series have earned national recognition and are increasingly gaining users. In this proposal, the same model will be used to construct a web adventure series focused on ALCOHOL. NIAAA research indicates the prominence of alcohol as the substance adolescents are most likely to use and abuse. Research also indicates that both middle school students and their science teachers want to know more about the impact of alcohol on the human body, but it is unlikely that they will spend instructional time on the impacts of alcohol, unless it can be closely aligned with current science curriculum content. The web adventure series is an effective and efficient way to teach about alcohol, while adhering to the prescribed middle school curriculum and incorporating the National Science Standards. It also provides science teachers with a program to complement the prevention efforts underway in their schools. Web Adventures to Teach about Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has four primary goals: 1) Increase students' science knowledge about the biological effects of alcohol; 2) Reinforce the National Science Standards and the Goals of Healthy People 2OOO and 2010; 3) Gather feedback through formative and summative evaluations from specific classrooms who participate in web adventures to determine their efficacy; and 4) Encourage widespread use of web adventures as a resource for science education and drug prevention through aggressive dissemination and publications.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过以前的赠款，一个成功的教育模式，使用网络冒险教青少年滥用药物已经创建。先前关于阿片类药物和俱乐部药物的网络冒险系列的标题是重建者（http：reconstructors.rice.edu）。它已经过实地测试，并证明具有重大的教育影响。还制作和测试了一个类似的系列，题为MEDMYST（http：medmyst.rice.edu），重点是传染病。这两个系列都赢得了国家的认可，并越来越多地获得用户。在本提案中，将使用相同的模型来构建一个专注于酒精的网络冒险系列。NIAAA的研究表明，酒精是青少年最有可能使用和滥用的物质。研究还表明，中学生和他们的科学老师都想更多地了解酒精对人体的影响，但事实并非如此。 他们不太可能把教学时间花在酒精的影响上，除非它能与酒精密切相关。 与当前的科学课程内容保持一致。网络冒险系列是一个有效且 有效的方式来教酒精，同时坚持规定的中学课程， 符合国家科学标准。它还为科学教师提供了一个计划， 补充他们学校正在进行的预防工作。关于酒精滥用和酒精中毒的网络冒险教学有四个主要目标：1）增加学生关于酒精生物效应的科学知识; 2）加强国家科学标准和健康人2000年和2010年的目标; 3）通过参与网络冒险的特定教室的形成性和总结性评估收集反馈，以确定其功效;（4）鼓励广泛使用网络冒险活动，通过积极传播和出版物，将其作为科学教育和预防毒品的资源。
