DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): At least 7.5 million people with intellectual disabilities (ID) most with mild disabilities, live in the U.S. As our service delivery system evolves, emphasis has shifted from providing services based on I.Q., to a classification system focused on functional ability identifying the minimum external supports necessary for people with ID (i.e., mental retardation) to survive on their own. The unintended consequence of this shift is that many young adults with mild and moderate ID are at increased risk of falling through the cracks. Due to a lack of social competency, awareness, and social support, they are at increased risk of involvement in behaviors and activities that could result in harm (e.g., substance abuse, crime). Substance abuse and crime prevention training has not been adequately addressed for this vulnerable population Phase II will expand on the work accomplished during development of the Phase I R-SAC prototype (i.e., Refuse-Substance, Alcohol, Crime), and create a series of three interactive DVD programs for young adults with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities (ID). Tailored by sex and content mastery, the repeat-visit programs will address issues and concerns faced by young adults with ID, who are developing into autonomous citizens, with the same rights and risks as you and I. The R-SAC program series, commercially titled 1) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Alcohol Misuse; 2) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Substance Abuse; and 3) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Crimes and the People who Commit Them, will 1) provide knowledge about legal aspects and potential harm related to alcohol abuse, illicit substances, and antisocial or criminal behavior; 2) teach an observation strategy (i.e., Stop-Look-Listen) using examples specific to each program's focus (e.g., substances-program one; alcohol- program two; antisocial behavior-program three); 3) model an array of avoidance and refusal strategies using examples specific to that program's content, and finally, 4) provide practice scenarios, requiring program users to integrate knowledge and observation skills and successfully apply refusal strategies to real-time video-based on-screen simulations portraying peer pressure to engage in harmful activities. Each of the final R-SAC interactive products (i.e., three interactive DVDs) will branch into one of three complete programs (i.e., male program, female program, step-down remedial program). Each branch will be approximately the size of our prototype program (671.5 MB) or slightly larger, and the typical CD-ROM holds about 700 MB. As such, the final products will be produced as hybrid PC/Mac programs, housed on DVD- ROM, creating a truly self-directed, stand-alone learning experience appropriate for program users with mild and moderate ID. A niche analysis, conducted by Foresight Science and Technology, indicates high social value, high interest, low competition, and high sales potentials for a program series of this type.

描述（由申请人提供）：至少有750万名智障人士（ID）生活在美国，其中大多数是轻度残疾。随着我们的服务提供系统的发展，重点已经从基于智商提供服务转移到一个专注于功能能力的分类系统，该系统确定了智障人士（即智力迟钝）独立生存所需的最低外部支持。这种转变的意想不到的后果是，许多患有轻度和中度ID的年轻人陷入困境的风险增加了。由于缺乏社会能力、意识和社会支持，他们参与可能导致伤害的行为和活动的风险增加（例如，药物滥用、犯罪）。第二阶段将扩展第一阶段R-SAC原型（即，拒绝物质，酒精，犯罪）开发期间完成的工作，并为有轻度和中度智力残疾（ID）的年轻人创建一系列三个交互式DVD节目。根据性别和内容掌握度量身定制，重复访问计划将解决有身份证明的年轻人面临的问题和担忧，他们正在发展成为自主公民，与你和我一样拥有同样的权利和风险。R-SAC计划系列的商业标题为1)远离伤害：避免酒精滥用的策略；2)远离伤害：避免药物滥用的策略；3)远离伤害：避免犯罪和犯罪人员的策略，将1)提供有关酗酒、非法药物和反社会或犯罪行为的法律方面和潜在危害的知识；2)教授一种观察策略（即，停止-看-听），使用针对每个项目重点的例子（例如，物质-项目一；酒精-项目二；反社会行为-项目三）；3)使用特定于该节目内容的示例对一系列回避和拒绝策略进行建模；最后，4)提供实践场景，要求节目用户整合知识和观察技能，并成功地将拒绝策略应用于基于实时视频的屏幕模拟，这些模拟描绘了同伴压力，以参与有害活动。每一个最终的R-SAC互动产品（即三张互动dvd）将分成三个完整的项目（即男性项目，女性项目，降级补救项目）中的一个。每个分支的大小将接近我们的原型程序（671.5 MB）或略大，典型的CD-ROM约为700 MB。因此，最终产品将作为混合PC/Mac程序制作，安装在DVD- ROM上，为具有轻度和中度ID的程序用户创建真正的自我指导，独立的学习体验。由Foresight Science and Technology进行的利基分析表明，这种类型的节目系列具有高社会价值、高兴趣、低竞争和高销售潜力。
