DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Motivational Interviewing is a widely used empirically-supported intervention for substance abuse, yet little is known about methods for training this complex treatment among the front-line clinicians who are now being asked to employ it. The available research indicates that the most common methods for training counselors in MI do not sufficiently elicit the level of competence required for clinical trials, where efficacy of this method has been demonstrated. Innovative and economical technologies that assist counselors in acquiring competence in MI would address this gap between the laboratory and clinic for this empirically-based treatment. For this Phase I application, SIMmersion LLC, in cooperation with Dr. Theresa Moyers of the University of New Mexico, proposes to develop a prototype interactive simulation to train MI skills for substance abuse counselors. If feasibility is successfully established during Phase I, the prototype will be expanded into a full-length multimedia training simulation in Phase II. This training simulation will act as a "computerized role-play," allowing practitioners to practice and refine MI skills with a virtual simulated patient. The completed simulation will provide trainees with an engaging training tool with which they can practice critical MI skills in a "safe" environment while receiving consistent and objective feedback. It is anticipated that these elements will have the power to produce measurable increases in both acquisition and retention of MI skills. The simulation would be a useful tool both for new practitioners seeking to acquire MI skills and experienced practitioners looking to refresh or refine existing skills. A small prototype training simulation will be developed and tested with a select group of end users. They will be asked to evaluate the simulation based on ease of learning and operation, realism of the simulated character, potential usefulness of the technique, and how likely they would be to use the game if they had a full simulation available to them. Participants will also be invited to share a qualitative analysis of the simulation by writing a brief evaluation with any specific praise, criticism, and suggestions for improvement in the full-length simulation. Motivational Interviewing (MI) has been shown to be a very effective technique for providing substance abuse intervention, particularly with individuals who are ambivalent about changing. However, the method must be implemented correctly in order to ensure maximum benefit to the patient. The proposed research will produce an innovative new training tool with the potential to increase learning and retention of MI skills among clinicians, thereby benefiting their patients.

描述（申请人提供）：动机性访谈是一种广泛使用的药物滥用干预方法，但对一线临床医生培训这种复杂的治疗方法知之甚少。现有的研究表明，培训MI咨询师的最常见方法不足以引起临床试验所需的能力水平，其中已经证明了该方法的有效性。创新和经济的技术，帮助顾问在获得MI的能力，将解决实验室和诊所之间的差距，这种基于药物的治疗。对于第一阶段的应用，SIMmersion LLC与新墨西哥州大学的Theresa Moyers博士合作，建议开发一个原型交互式模拟，以培训药物滥用咨询师的MI技能。如果在第一阶段成功地确定了可行性，在第二阶段将把原型扩大为一个完整的多媒体训练模拟。这种训练模拟将作为一种“计算机化的角色扮演”，允许从业者与虚拟模拟患者一起练习和改进MI技能。完成的模拟将为受训人员提供一个有吸引力的培训工具，使他们能够在“安全”的环境中练习关键的管理信息技能，同时获得一致和客观的反馈。预计这些要素将有能力在获取和保留管理信息技能方面产生可衡量的增长。模拟将是一个有用的工具，无论是新的从业人员寻求获得管理信息技能和有经验的从业人员希望刷新或完善现有的技能。将开发一个小型原型培训模拟，并由一组选定的最终用户进行测试。他们将被要求根据学习和操作的容易性，模拟角色的真实性，技术的潜在有用性以及如果他们有完整的模拟，他们使用游戏的可能性来评估模拟。参与者还将被邀请通过撰写简短的评价来分享模拟的定性分析，其中包括任何具体的赞扬，批评和改进建议。动机访谈（MI）已被证明是一种非常有效的技术，提供药物滥用干预，特别是与个人谁是矛盾的改变。然而，必须正确实施该方法，以确保患者的最大受益。拟议的研究将产生一种创新的新培训工具，有可能增加临床医生对MI技能的学习和保留，从而使患者受益。
