THE ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS EDUCATION PROGRAM (ADEP) FOR SOCIAL WORK FACULTY

 描述(由申请人提供)：社会工作学院酒精教育计划(ADEP)的长期目标是在社会工作者中推广经验性酒精和其他药物(AOD)识别和治疗方法的使用，这与NIAAA的目标一致，即促进使用研究来治疗和防止AOD滥用和依赖。ADEP的一个主要组成部分是社会工作沉浸式教师培训(SWIFT)计划，该计划将培训100名沉浸式教师，他们全部来自经认证的南加州学校(208所)，教育南加州大学的研究生有关经验支持的AOD识别和治疗方法，并将这些主题整合到学校的课程中。该计划的目标是：1.实施SWIFT将增加：(1)参与者(SWIFT教师)自身对经验支持的AOD识别和治疗方法的自身知识以及教学中关于这些问题的自我效能感；(1b)参与者(SWIFT教师)在他们的课程和学校的课程中纳入关于经验支持的AOD识别和治疗方法的当前和准确的内容和材料；以及(1c)参加SWIFT计划并开发新课程内容的硕士研究生关于经验支持的AOD识别和治疗方法的知识和技能。ADEP计划是对波士顿大学(BU)医学院(MED)使用的NIDA资助的培训模式的改编，该模式旨在培训首席住院医生向全国医生传播AOD知识和技能。这一努力已经进行了10年，经过评估并被证明是有效的(Alford等人，2009年)。ADEP的第二个组成部分是它使用并改进了BU-MED项目的混合方法结果评估设计。评估的优点包括：(A)教师随机分为干预/对照小组；(B)45个事后个案研究/多项选择项目以评估知识的变化；(C)38项利克特量表以检查基线、6个月和12个月对AOD识别和治疗方法以及教学行为的知识变化；(D)学生知识和技能的前后测试；以及(E)内容分析以检查教学大纲的变化。指导该计划所有方面的将是AOD专家教学学院和一个跨学科咨询委员会，该委员会具有实施NIAAA和NIDA R25计划的经验；指导AOD教育计划的评估和传播结果；开发AOD课程；与PIS就先前的AOD教育、评估和研究工作进行合作；以及传播研究结果和教授西南地区的临床实践。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term objective of the Alcohol Education program (ADEP) for Social Work Faculty is to promote the use of empirically-supported alcohol and other drugs (AOD) identification and treatment methods among social workers which is consistent with the NIAAA goal to promote the use of research to treat and prevent AOD abuse and dependence. A major component of ADEP is the Social Work (SW) Immersion Faculty Training (SWIFT) program which will train100 SW faculty, all from accredited SW schools (208), to educate SW graduate students about empirically-supported AOD identification and treatment methods and to integrate these topics into their school's curriculum. The Aims of this program are: 1. Implementation of SWIFT will increase: (1a) participants' (SW faculty) own knowledge of empirically-supported AOD identification and treatment methods and self-efficacy in teaching about these issues; (1b) participants' (SW faculty) inclusion of current and accurate content and materials on empirically-supported AOD identification and treatment methods in their courses and in the curricula of their schools; and, (1c) Master's level graduate students' knowledge and skills of empirically-supported AOD identification and treatment methods among students enrolled in the courses of SW faculty who attended the SWIFT program and developed new curriculum content. The ADEP program is an adaptation of an NIDA-funded training model used at the Boston University (BU) School of Medicine (MED) to train Chief Residents to disseminate AOD knowledge and skills to physicians nationwide. This effort has been ongoing for 10 years, has been evaluated and shown to be effective (Alford et al., 2009). A second component of ADEP is that it uses and improves on the mixed- methods outcome evaluation design from the BU-MED program. Strengths of the evaluation include (a) randomization of faculty into intervention/control groups, (b) 45 pre-post case-studies/ multiple choice items to assess change in knowledge, (c) 38 Likert scale measures to examine baseline, 6 and 12 month follow-up changes in knowledge of AOD identification and treatment methods and teaching behaviors, (d) pre-posttests of student knowledge and skills, and, (e) content analysis to examine syllabi changes. Guiding all aspects of the program will be AOD Expert Teaching Faculty and an interdisciplinary Advisory Committee with experience in implementing NIAAA and NIDA R25 programs; directing evaluations and disseminating findings from AOD educational programs; developing AOD curricula; collaborating with the PIs on prior AOD education, evaluation and research efforts; and disseminating research findings and teaching SW clinical practice.
