项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol use disorders continue to be a growing problem in the United States. Fifty-three percent of Americans consume alcohol on a regular basis (SAMHSA, 2006). Approximately 6 percent of those users meet the criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence (SAMHSA, 2005); 3 percent of the U.S. population. Currently, alcohol use disorders are only covered superficially in many medical schools. Future physicians may lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively screen, assess, and intervene with patients with alcohol use disorders. SOLUTION: We propose a suite of Internet based modules to provide education and skills training to medical students on the topic of alcohol abuse and dependence. We will educate medical students on the background, proper assessment, and treatment options for patients with alcohol use disorders. Each module will contain a course developed with a problem-based learning approach. These modules will provide valued skills training in interviewing and assessment utilizing an approach that many medical schools are adapting today. The final product will include six individual modules for medical students. Each module will utilize a clinical case scenario approach, which will include straightforward clinical scenarios involving patients with issues related to alcohol abuse or dependence. The modules will include the following subject areas: 1) the scope of the alcohol abuse and dependence problem, 2) the role of the practicing physician in treatment, 3) proper detection, diagnosis and assessment of alcohol use disorders, 4) psychiatric and other common co-morbidities, 5) pharmacology of alcohol (and treatment options), and 6) how novel treatments are developed and implemented. APPROACH: During the Phase I project period, we will develop one of the six modules and evaluate the module with medical school students. In Phase II, we will evaluate the entire curriculum's effect on attitudes toward substance abuse patients, clinical practice, self-efficacy, and knowledge. A randomized study will compare subjects using the alcohol modules to subjects exposed to no intervention. Clinical practice changes will be measured using interviews with standardized patients. Satisfaction with our product will also be assessed. COMMERCIALIZATION: We will work with medical schools to add the modules to their curriculum. We have already developed relationships with 13 medical schools via other Clinical Tools' products and feel confident that we can create a product that will be purchased by medical schools and individual students. Three of our consultants are also directly involved in medical school curriculum review, and will guide the direction and marketing of the product. BENEFITS: Our finalized product will expand the capabilities of medical students and prepare them for the challenges they will face as practicing physicians. Upon completion of our modules, medical students will be able to effectively interview, assess, and provide proper treatment to patients with alcohol use disorders. The skills learned can also be more broadly applied to the treatment of all patients with substance abuse problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，酒精使用障碍仍然是日益严重的问题。 53％的美国人定期食用酒精（Samhsa，2006年）。这些用户中约有6％符合酗酒或依赖的标准（Samhsa，2005年）；美国人口的3％。目前，饮酒障碍仅在许多医学院进行表面覆盖。未来的医生可能缺乏有效筛查，评估和干预酒精使用障碍患者的必要知识和技能。解决方案：我们提出了一套基于互联网的模块，以向医学生提供有关酗酒和依赖的主题的教育和技能培训。我们将对医学生对酒精使用障碍患者的背景，适当评估和治疗选择进行教育。每个模块都将包含一种采用基于问题的学习方法开发的课程。这些模块将利用许多医学院今天正在适应的方法进行面试和评估的有价值的技能培训。最终产品将包括六个单独的医学生模块。每个模块将采用临床病例方案方法，其中包括直接的临床方案，涉及与酒精滥用或依赖有关的患者。模块将包括以下主题领域：1）酒精滥用和依赖问题的范围，2）执业医师在治疗中的作用，3）适当的检测，诊断和评估酒精使用障碍，4）精神病和其他共同神经疗法和其他常见的合并症，5）5）酒精（和治疗方案）的药理学（和6）新颖的治疗方法和新颖的治疗方法。方法：在I阶段项目期间，我们将开发六个模块之一，并与医学院的学生一起评估模块。在第二阶段，我们将评估整个课程对滥用药物患者的态度，临床实践，自我效能和知识的影响。一项随机研究将比较使用酒精模块的受试者与暴露于无干预措施的受试者。将使用标准化患者的访谈来衡量临床实践的变化。对我们的产品的满意度也将得到评估。商业化：我们将与医学院合作，将模块添加到其课程中。我们已经通过其他临床工具的产品与13所医学院建立了关系，并有信心我们可以创建一种将由医学院和个人学生购买的产品。我们的三名顾问也直接参与了医学院课程审查，并将指导产品的指导和营销。好处：我们的最终产品将扩大医学生的能力，并为他们作为执业医师面临的挑战做好准备。完成模块后，医学生将能够有效面试，评估并为酒精使用障碍患者提供适当的治疗。学到的技能也可以更广泛地应用于所有患有药物滥用问题的患者。
