DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this STTR Phase I proposal is to develop a searchable Internet database of prevention lessons called Prevention Buffet. The database will allow middle school teachers to customize prevention efforts in their classrooms to the needs of their students, while providing them with guidance in selecting and implementing prevention lessons. Lessons will be developed based on well-established theories in prevention science, and will target known mediators of adolescent substance use (e.g., risk and protective factors). Prevention Buffet will provide many advantages over existing school-based curricula. Notably, it will provide an inexpensive means for schools to have access to science-based prevention lessons for use in a classroom or guidance class setting. It will also provide flexibility for teachers to select lessons that meet the needs and characteristics of their students based on easily accessible needs assessment data. During this Phase I STTR project we will employ a three-step process for creating and testing Prevention Buffet. First, we will (1) provide a brief online orientation designed to educate teachers about effective mediators of substance use prevention, (2) develop an classroom needs assessment to assist teachers in determining needs most salient for their youth, (3) develop the infrastructure of the Prevention Buffet website (e.g., search engine capability, database for lesson plans), and (4) recruit prevention specialists to serve as activity developers and create an initial set of 20 activities. Second, we will assess activity quality by submitting the developed activities to prevention scientists for review. We will revise activities based on the feedback from scientists. Third, we will conduct a usability test with 12 health education teachers with the purpose of demonstrating feasibility. Prevention Buffet has the potential to be a commercially viable resource that may be readily used by teachers in middle schools throughout the nation. During Phase II we will improve, expand, and conduct a randomized controlled effectiveness trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of Prevention Buffet as a prevention strategy. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Substance use among adolescents continues to be a major public health concern. The proposed program, Prevention Buffet, has the potential to provide middle school teachers with instructional tools that may effectively and efficiently prevention or deter the onset of substance use among this population.

描述（由申请人提供）：本STTR第一阶段提案的目标是开发一个可搜索的互联网数据库，称为预防自助餐。该数据库将使中学教师能够根据学生的需要在课堂上进行预防工作，同时为他们选择和实施预防课程提供指导。课程将根据预防科学的成熟理论制定，并将针对青少年物质使用的已知媒介（例如，风险和保护因素）。预防自助餐将提供许多优势，现有的学校为基础的课程。值得注意的是，它将为学校提供一种廉价的手段，使其能够在课堂或辅导班上获得以科学为基础的预防课程。它还将为教师提供灵活性，以便根据容易获得的需求评估数据选择符合学生需求和特点的课程。在第一阶段STTR项目中，我们将采用三步流程来创建和测试预防自助餐。首先，我们将（1）提供一个简短的在线指导，旨在教育教师关于预防药物使用的有效调解人，（2）制定一个课堂需求评估，以帮助教师确定最突出的需要，为他们的青少年，（3）开发预防自助网站的基础设施（例如，搜索引擎能力、课程计划数据库），以及（4）征聘预防专家担任活动制定者，并初步制定一套20项活动。第二，我们将评估活动质量，将制定的活动提交预防科学家审查。我们将根据科学家的反馈修改活动。第三，我们将与12名健康教育教师进行可用性测试，目的是证明可行性。预防自助餐有可能成为一个商业上可行的资源，可以随时使用的教师在全国各地的中学。在第二阶段，我们将改进，扩大，并进行随机对照有效性试验，以证明预防自助餐作为预防策略的有效性。 公共卫生相关性：青少年使用药物仍然是一个主要的公共卫生问题。拟议的方案，预防自助餐，有可能提供中学教师的教学工具，可以有效地和有效地预防或阻止这一人群中的物质使用的发病。
