ABSTRACT SIMmersion, in collaboration with Binghamton University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and experts from Brown University, propose to develop a standardized, online assessment tool to evaluate Mental Health Clinicians' (MHCs') Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills related to the treatment of anxiety disorders. The proposed project will utilize SIMmersion's PeopleSim technology to develop a series of Virtual Client Sessions (VCS) that are assessed instantly using the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS). The proposed VCS-CTRS provides an innovative approach to identifying and establishing MHC competence in CBT for anxiety disorders, which are currently the most prevalent and highest costing mental health problem in the US. With assistance from leading experts in CBT for anxiety disorders and coding with the CTRS, Aim 1 will focus on developing six virtual sessions with clients varying in age, race, ethnicity, gender, and diagnosis. Using the 11 skill domains outlined in the CTRS, the development team will create 11 scoring algorithms that will allow the VCS-CTRS to automatically generate a CTRS score each time the tool is used. Leveraging the PeopleSim technology will allow MHCs to experience realistic and varied client responses each time the tool is used. Thus, MHCs can use the tool repeatedly, without ever having the same conversation twice. During Aim 2, the research team will recruit 100 MHCs, from novice to expert levels, who will complete two randomly- selected VCS-CTRS simulations and evaluate their experience. The automatic scores generated by the VCS- CTRS will be compared to observer-rated CTRS scores through review of audio recordings and transcripts of the VCS-CTRS sessions to validate the new automated and standardized assessment tool. During Aim 3, the research team will evaluate the feasibility of using the VCS-CTRS, nationally and internationally, to assess MHC's skills and provide feedback regarding areas in need of further development. Master and doctoral level MHCs (N=300) will be recruited to play the two VCS-CTRS sessions that most closely match their self- identified area of clinical expertise. MHCs scores and product evaluations will be analyzed to examine the practical usability and reach of the VCS-CTRS. If successful, additional sessions can be developed to ensure clients seeking counselling receive quality treatment for a range of mental health problems.

摘要 SIMmersion与宾厄姆顿大学、西北大学、芝加哥大学合作， 和布朗大学的专家，建议开发一个标准化的在线评估工具， 心理健康临床医生（MHCs）与焦虑治疗相关的认知行为治疗技巧 紊乱拟议项目将利用SIMmersion的PeopleSim技术开发一系列虚拟 使用认知治疗评定量表（CTRS）立即评估的客户会话（CNAS）。的 拟议的VCS-CTRS提供了一种创新的方法来识别和建立MHC能力， CBT治疗焦虑症，这是目前最普遍、成本最高的心理健康问题 美方在焦虑症CBT和CTRS编码方面领先专家的帮助下，目标1 将专注于开发六个虚拟会话，客户的年龄，种族，民族，性别和诊断各不相同。 使用CTRS中概述的11个技能领域，开发团队将创建11个评分算法， 将允许VCS-CTRS在每次使用工具时自动生成CTRS评分。借力 PeopleSim技术将使MHC在每次使用该工具时都能体验到真实而多样的客户反应。 采用因此，MHC可以重复使用该工具，而不会进行两次相同的对话。Aim期间 2、研究团队将招募100名MHC，从新手到专家级别，他们将随机完成两项- 选择VCS-CTRS模拟并评估其经验。自动生成的分数由- 将通过审查以下患者的录音和转录本，将CTRS与分级CTRS评分进行比较： VCS-CTRS会议，以验证新的自动化和标准化评估工具。在目标3期间， 研究小组将评估在国内和国际上使用VCS-CTRS的可行性， MHC的技能，并提供有关需要进一步发展的领域的反馈。硕士和博士水平 将招募MHC（N=300），以进行最接近匹配其自我的两个VCS-CTRS会话。 确定的临床专业领域。将分析MHC评分和产品评价，以检查 VCS-CTRS的实际可用性和范围。如果成功，可以开发其他会话，以确保 寻求咨询的客户可获得针对一系列心理健康问题的高质量治疗。
