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）：当今美国的一个被忽视，被忽视但重大的问题是智障人士（ID）对烟草，酒精和其他药物的使用和滥用。拥有ID的人数越来越多，既有其利益和风险，又是在社区中独立生活。许多具有ID的人不了解使用尼古丁，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），并且支持性社交网络有限。 I.D. - 较短的注意力跨度，抽象概念的困难，过于合规性的个性，学习和记忆缺陷 - 增加了药物滥用的可能性及其负面后果。鉴于I.D.个人的独特学习需求，为没有认知局限性的人设计的当前预防计划太抽象，节奏快，基于文本。 该项目的目的是制定一项全面的预防计划 - 智障人士（DDPS）的危险预防药物技能 - 将针对该人群并满足其独特的学习需求。在第一阶段，将开发一个原型DVD，将涵盖前两个单元：建立有害药物的识别，并接受滥用时的药物是危险的。该程序将具有高度互动性，并利用具体材料，使用适当和不适当行为的视频模型，为材料的角色扮演提供机会，经常重复关键概念，并提供基于文本的线索而不是基于文本的提示。该计划的一个独特功能将是使用学习合作伙伴（例如，直接支持人员，父母，倡导者）来帮助具有ID的人学习和练习程序中提供的信息。 在第二阶段中，将开发完整的交互式，多媒体DVD供ID及其学习合作伙伴（LP）使用。最终的全面DDP计划将由McGillicuddy和Blane（1999）开发的两种预防方法组成的九个模块，并增加了社会支持和社区资源组成部分。最终产品将进行商业包装，视频材料将在DVD上提供。 公共卫生相关性：有关滥用滥用的负面后果，有关药物使用和滥用的研究与公共卫生高度相关。 。具有ID的人由于孤独和需要社会接受而经常受到虐待的风险。迫切需要为该组开发预防材料。通过专注于具有ID的个人，该计划为服务不足的人群提供了需要的干预工具。
