DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will complete the development of and empirically test a program that focuses on teaching media literacy and media advocacy skills to high school students for the purpose of reducing their intent to use and current use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The 18-lesson program will consist of a Teachers Manual including goals and objectives for each lesson, lesson scripts, class handouts, homework assignments, additional resources, and skill-based evaluation tools. In addition, the program will include a DVD with 18 multimedia PowerPoint-like presentations with integrated video and audio clips that are designed to be used while teaching each lesson. The program will be designed for use in a range of educational settings including public and private high schools, and juvenile justice, after school, faith-based, and community-based programs. Program development in Phase I consisted of media literacy and substance abuse scientists, and substance abuse prevention specialists across the country completing a web-based survey to guide the creation of the program Scope and Sequence and the first three prototypic lessons. Three methods were used to gather feedback for the revision process 1) high school students participated in three focus groups, 2) three media literacy and education experts provided a written critique, and 3) a public high school teacher piloted the three lessons in each of her three 9th grade health classes. These groups provided feedback about the format, goals, and content of the curriculum as well as the feasibility of disseminating the proposed program with high school students. Consumer satisfaction ratings from the teenage focus group participants, expert reviewers, and the pilot teacher were extremely positive suggesting that the program prototype was promising, and ready for further development, completion, and evaluation. Thus, the present application proposes two primary goals including: (1) completion of all program components including the curriculum as well as supplemental program and evaluation materials, followed by pilot teaching of the program in two high school, health education classes, and (2) execution of an experiment with random assignment of high school teachers to intervention and wait-list control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in changing the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and increasing media literacy-related critical thinking skills of students. The potential commercial applications of this research include the creation of an easy-to-use, attractive, effective preventive intervention program and teacher training workshops that can be adopted in a wide range of educational settings. Project Narrative: Media literacy and advocacy training are effective interventions for changing substance abuse outcomes. The purpose of this project is to complete and evaluate an easy-to use, attractive, research-based preventive intervention program for use with high school teachers and students that utilizes active learning methods. The curriculum will be designed to be flexible for delivery by educators working in public, private, or home schools as well as by health educators or youth group leaders of faith-based, after school, or community-based programs. This project will result in the development of a commercially available, teacher-friendly, educational tool with empirically-tested results.

描述(由申请者提供)：该项目将完成一个项目的开发和实证测试，该项目的重点是向高中生传授媒体素养和媒体宣传技能，目的是减少他们使用酒精、烟草和其他药物的意图和目前的使用。这项18节课的课程将包括一本教师手册，其中包括每节课的目标和目的、课程脚本、课堂讲义、家庭作业、额外资源和基于技能的评估工具。此外，该计划还将包括一张DVD，其中包含18个类似于PowerPoint的多媒体演示文稿，其中集成了视频和音频剪辑，可在授课时使用。该计划将在一系列教育环境中使用，包括公立和私立高中、青少年司法、课外、基于信仰和基于社区的计划。第一阶段的方案制定由媒体扫盲和药物滥用科学家以及全国各地的药物滥用预防专家组成，他们完成了一项基于网络的调查，以指导方案范围和顺序以及前三个典型课程的创建。三种方法被用来收集对修订过程的反馈：1)高中生参加了三个焦点小组；2)三名媒体素养和教育专家提供了书面评论；以及3)一名公立高中教师在她的三节九年级健康课上分别试行了三节课。这些小组就课程的形式、目标和内容以及向高中生传播拟议方案的可行性提供了反馈。来自青少年焦点小组参与者、专家评审员和试点教师的消费者满意度评分非常积极，表明该项目原型很有前途，并为进一步的开发、完成和评估做好了准备。因此，本申请提出了两个主要目标，包括：(1)完成包括课程以及补充计划和评估材料在内的所有计划组成部分，随后在两所高中进行该计划的试点教学，即健康教育班，以及(2)执行一项实验，随机分配高中教师到干预和等待名单控制组，以评估该计划在改变有关使用酒精、烟草和其他药物的知识、态度和行为以及提高学生与媒体素养相关的批判性思维技能方面的有效性。这项研究的潜在商业应用包括创建易于使用、有吸引力、有效的预防干预计划和可在广泛的教育环境中采用的教师培训研讨会。项目简介：媒体素养和宣传培训是改变药物滥用结果的有效干预措施。本项目的目的是完成和评估一个易于使用的、有吸引力的、基于研究的预防干预计划，供高中教师和学生使用，使用积极的学习方法。课程的设计将是灵活的，供公立、私立或家庭学校的教育工作者以及基于信仰、课外或社区项目的健康教育工作者或青年团体领导人教授。该项目将导致开发一种商业上可用的、对教师友好的教育工具，并得到经验验证的结果。
