DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract Methamphetamine (meth), the fastest-growing illicit drug in the United States, is manufactured in makeshift laboratories using highly flammable and toxic ingredients. Most meth labs are discovered when fires, explosions, or medical emergencies are reported to authorities. A large and growing problem is that responders to the scene often lack prior knowledge that they are responding to a meth lab incident. Thus, they are not sufficiently prepared, either to respond to the incident or to protect themselves from harm. The objective of this project is to improve their level of preparedness and thus reduce the number of injuries and deaths associated with meth lab response. For first responders such as emergency medical technicians, HAZMAT workers, law enforcement, firefighters, or others who may encounter clandestine meth labs, SimQuest proposes to develop a training program that will hone their risk assessment and response capabilities. The program will differ from existing training in that it will include interactive case scenarios that require sers to apply critical thinking and decision making skills in various meth lab environments and conditions, and will include performance assessment to verify and refine learning outcomes. The specific aims are to (1) conduct a detailed gap analysis in existing clandestine meth lab awareness training; (2) establish training goals, performance metrics, and technological requirements; (3) define instructional strategies and learning objectives; (4) develop an integrated content development plan; (5) map functional requirements to delivery platform options; (6) develop a pilot case scenario; and (7) develop a formative evaluation plan. Because this program has the very real potential to reduce injuries and save lives among emergency response, HAZMAT, and skilled support personnel, it directly complements the goals of NIEHS in general, and the WETP in specific. It specifically addresses product area C. Products to support e-learning in safety and health training. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative The proposed program applies the emerging technology of case-scenario-based training, using advanced distributed learning and mobile platforms, to improve the preparedness of responders who encounter illicit methamphetamine (meth) labs. The training will consist of interactive meth lab case scenarios in which users make decisions, recognize dangers, respond to various situations, and receive performance assessments that enable them to improve their decision making and response capabilities. Improved preparedness will help stem the rising tide of responder injuries and deaths associated with meth lab incidents.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要/摘要 甲基苯丙胺 (meth) 是美国增长最快的非法药物，是在临时实验室中使用高度易燃和有毒的成分制造的。大多数冰毒实验室是在向当局报告火灾、爆炸或医疗紧急情况时被发现的。一个日益严重的大问题是，现场响应人员往往事先不知道他们正在对冰毒实验室事件做出响应。因此，他们没有做好充分的准备，无论是响应事件还是保护 themselves from harm.该项目的目标是提高他们的准备水平，从而减少与冰毒实验室反应相关的伤害和死亡人数。对于紧急医疗技术人员、危险品工作人员、执法人员、消防员或其他可能遇到秘密冰毒实验室的急救人员，SimQuest 建议制定一项培训计划，以磨练他们的风险评估和响应能力。该计划与现有培训的不同之处在于，它将包括交互式案例场景，要求服务人员在各种冰毒实验室环境和条件下应用批判性思维和决策技能，并将包括绩效评估以验证和完善学习成果。具体目标是（1）对现有秘密冰毒实验室意识培训进行详细的差距分析； (2) 制定培训目标、绩效指标和技术要求； (3) 确定教学策略和学习目标； （4）制定综合内容开发计划； (5) 将功能需求映射到交付平台选项； (6) 制定试点案例场景； (7) 制定形成性评估计划。由于该计划具有减少应急响应、HAZMAT 和熟练支持人员伤害和挽救生命的真正潜力，因此它直接补充了 NIEHS 的总体目标和 WETP 的具体目标。它专门针对产品领域 C。支持安全和健康培训电子学习的产品。 公共卫生相关性：项目叙述拟议的计划应用基于案例场景的培训新兴技术，利用先进的分布式学习和移动平台，以提高遇到非法甲基苯丙胺（冰毒）实验室的响应者的准备程度。培训将包括交互式冰毒实验室案例场景，用户在其中做出决策、识别危险、应对各种情况并接受绩效评估，从而提高决策和响应能力。改善准备工作将有助于遏制与冰毒实验室事件相关的响应人员受伤和死亡的上升趋势。
