College Alcohol Assessment and Intervention Training Simulation

描述(由申请人提供)：这项第一阶段/第二阶段快速通道应用程序的目标是开发和评估一种基于模拟的产品，用于培训学生事务工作人员(例如，驻地助理[RAS]、希腊生活工作人员、校园和住房安全人员、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(审计得分为6分或更高)的学生提供适当的干预，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，LLC和西北大学的Michael Fleming博士正在提议开发一个带有角色扮演模拟的基于计算机的培训系统，该系统将为工作人员提供机会，通过在安全环境中反复练习，学习评估学生饮酒行为的技能，并使用激励性访谈提供适当的干预或转介。预计最终产品将包括五个 提供10个小时或10个小时的交互式电子学习内容，以提供获取知识的机会 在三种学生情景(即评估、干预和推荐)和综合反馈中进行更多小时的角色扮演练习。120名学生事务工作人员将从芝加哥学院饮酒研究联盟的四所大学招募，参加一项随机对照试验，以测试开发完成后培训产品的疗效。80名参与者将被随机分配到试验组，并将获得参加培训计划的机会；40名参与者将被随机分配到控制组，不会接受任何额外的培训。所有参与者都将完成基线和干预后的标准化患者访谈；研究的主要结果将衡量参与者技能水平的提高。最终，本培训产品的开发和评估可以通过适当培训学生事务工作人员来评估问题饮酒模式，并为从事危险和问题饮酒行为的学生提供适当的干预，从而减少危险饮酒行为的发生。我们预计，美国4100所四年制学院和大学中的大多数都会有兴趣购买这种产品，因为这个独特的基于计算机的培训平台将为他们提供在安全和受控的环境中对新员工和现有员工进行持续培训的机会。酒精使用障碍识别测验

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.
