DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An overlooked, neglected, yet significant problem in the United States today is the use and abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs by individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). Increasing numbers of people with ID are living independently in the community with both its benefits and its risks. Many individuals with ID do not understand the dangers of nicotine use, alcohol, and illicit substances, are lacking in important prevention skills (e.g., assertiveness and problem solving), and have limited supportive social networks. Some of the characteristics found in people with I.D. - short attention span, difficulties with abstract concepts, overly compliant personalities, learning and memory deficits -- increase the likelihood of substance abuse and its negative consequences. Given the unique learning needs of individuals with I.D., current prevention programs designed for people without cognitive limitations are too abstract, fast paced, and text-based. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive prevention program -- Dangerous Drug Prevention Skills for People with Intellectual Disabilities (DDPS) -- that will be targeted to this population and address their unique learning needs. In Phase I a prototype DVD will be developed that will cover the first two units: building identification of harmful drugs and accepting that drugs when misused are dangerous. The program will be highly interactive and utilize concrete materials, use video models of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, provide opportunities for role-playing of the materials, frequently repeat key concepts, and provide visual rather than text-based cues. A unique feature of the program will be the use of a learning partner (e.g., direct support staff, parent, advocate) to help the person with ID learn and practice the information provided in the program. In Phase II the complete interactive, multimedia DVD will be developed for use by people with ID and their learning partner (LP). The final comprehensive DDPS program will consist of nine modules based on the two prevention approaches developed by McGillicuddy and Blane (1999) with the addition of a social support and community resources component. The final product will be commercially packaged and video material will be available on DVD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Research on substance use and abuse prevention is highly relevant to public health given the negative consequences of misuse. . Individuals with ID are a population at risk for abuse frequently due to their loneliness and need for social acceptance. There is a pressing need to develop prevention materials for this group. By focusing on these individuals with ID, this program brings needed intervention tools for an underserved population.

描述（由申请人提供）：一个被忽视的，被忽视的，但在美国今天的重大问题是使用和滥用烟草，酒精，和其他药物的个人与智力残疾（ID）。越来越多的ID患者在社区中独立生活，既有好处，也有风险。许多ID患者不了解尼古丁使用，酒精和非法物质的危险，缺乏重要的预防技能（例如，自信和解决问题能力），并且支持性社交网络有限。有身份证的人身上的一些特征。- 注意力集中时间短、难以理解抽象概念、过于顺从的性格、学习和记忆缺陷-增加了滥用药物的可能性及其消极后果。考虑到有身份证的人独特的学习需求，目前为没有认知障碍的人设计的预防方案过于抽象、节奏太快，并且基于文本。 该项目的目标是制定一个全面的预防方案-智障者危险药物预防技能-该方案将针对这一人群，并满足他们独特的学习需求。在第一阶段，将制作一个DVD原型，其中将包括前两个单元：建立有害药物的识别和接受滥用药物是危险的。该计划将是高度互动的，并利用具体的材料，使用适当和不适当的行为的视频模型，提供材料的角色扮演的机会，经常重复的关键概念，并提供视觉而不是基于文本的线索。该计划的一个独特之处将是使用学习伙伴（例如，直接支持人员，家长，倡导者），以帮助ID的人学习和实践计划中提供的信息。 在第二阶段，将开发完整的交互式多媒体DVD，供智障人士及其学习伙伴使用。最终的DDPS综合方案将包括九个模块，以McGillicuddy和Blane（1999年）制定的两种预防方法为基础，并增加了社会支持和社区资源部分。最后产品将进行商业包装，录像材料将制成DVD。 公共卫生相关性：鉴于滥用的负面后果，关于药物使用和滥用预防的研究与公共卫生高度相关。.患有ID的人是一个经常由于孤独和需要社会接受而面临虐待风险的人群。迫切需要为这一群体编制预防材料。通过关注这些患有ID的人，该计划为服务不足的人群带来了所需的干预工具。
