College Alcohol Assessment and Intervention Training Simulation

描述（由申请人提供）：此阶段I/阶段II快速通道申请的目标是开发和评估用于培训学生事务人员的基于模拟的产品（例如，居民助理[RA]，希腊生活工作人员，校园和住房安全，学生行为工作人员和学术顾问），以评估和提供适当的干预，谁从事危险饮酒行为（AUDIT]评分为6分或更高）的学生，以最终减少酒精相关事件的数量在大学设置。在以往成功合作的基础上，SIMmersion，LLC和西北大学的Michael Fleming博士提议开发一个基于计算机的培训系统，该系统具有角色扮演模拟，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，使用动机面试提供适当的干预或推荐。预计最终产品将包括五个 小时的互动式电子学习内容，提供获取知识的机会， 在三个学生场景中进行更多小时的角色扮演练习（即，评估、干预和转介）以及全面反馈。芝加哥大学饮酒研究联盟将从四所大学招募120名学生事务工作人员，参加一项随机对照试验，以测试开发完成后培训产品的功效。80名参与者将被随机分配到实验组，并将接受培训计划; 40名参与者将被随机分配到控制组，将不接受额外的培训。所有参与者将接受基线和干预后标准化患者访谈;研究的主要结果将衡量参与者技能水平的提高。最终，开发和评估这个培训产品可以减少危险的饮酒行为的情况下，适当的培训学生事务工作人员，以评估问题饮酒模式，并提供适当的干预措施，学生谁从事危险和问题饮酒行为。我们预计美国4100所四年制学院和大学中的大多数都有兴趣购买该产品，因为这种独特的基于计算机的培训平台将为他们提供在安全可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试

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.
