College Alcohol Assessment and Intervention Training Simulation

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段/第二阶段快速通道申请的目标是开发和评估一个基于模拟的产品，用于培训学生事务工作人员（例如，住宿助理[RAs]，希腊生活工作人员，校园和住房安全工作人员，学生行为工作人员和学术顾问），以评估并为从事危险饮酒行为的学生提供适当的干预（审计]得分为6分或更高），最终减少大学环境中与酒精相关的事件的数量。在之前成功合作的基础上，SIMmersion有限责任公司和西北大学的Michael Fleming博士提议开发一种基于计算机的角色扮演模拟培训系统，该系统将为工作人员提供机会，学习评估学生饮酒行为的技能，并通过在安全环境中反复练习，使用动机性访谈提供适当的干预或转诊。预计最终产品将包括五个

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Phase I/Phase II Fast-Track application is to develop and evaluate a simulation-based product for training student affairs staff (e.g., resident assistants [RAs], Greek life staff, campus and housing security, student conduct staff, and academic advisors) to assess and provide appropriate intervention to students who engage in risky drinking behaviors ( AUDIT] score of six or higher) to ultimately reduce the number of alcohol-related incidents in university settings. Building upon successful previous collaborations, SIMmersion, LLC and Dr. Michael Fleming of Northwestern University are proposing to develop a computer-based training system with role-play simulations that will provide opportunities for staff members to learn skills for assessing student drinking behavior and providing an appropriate intervention or referral using Motivational Interviewing through repeated practice in a safe environment. It is anticipated that the final product will include five hours of interactive, e-learning content to provide opportunities for knowledge acquisition, ten or more hours of role-play practice across three student scenarios (i.e., assessment, intervention, and referral), and comprehensive feedback. One-hundred twenty student affairs staff will be recruited from four universities in the Chicago College Drinking Research Consortium to participate in a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of the training product when development is complete. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and will receive access to the training program; forty participants will be randomly assigned to the control group and will receive no additional training. All participants will conduc baseline and post-intervention standardized patient interviews; primary outcomes of the study will measure increases in participant skill levels. Ultimately, the development and evaluation of this training product could reduce the instances of risky drinking behaviors by appropriately training student affairs staff to assess problem drinking patterns and to provide appropriate interventions to students who engage in risky and problem drinking behaviors. We expect most of the 4100 four year colleges and universities in the United States would be interested in purchasing this product, because this unique computer-based training platform will provide them with the opportunity for ongoing training of new and existing staff in a safe and controlled environment.
