DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this project is to reduce risks for alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse in workers, work groups, and work settings. Annual national surveys continue to show problems with employee AOD abuse and its impact on health and productivity. To address this challenge, the proposed project will develop an electronic prevention program that has the capacity for sustained diffusion into the work environment. It will be based on an evidence-based program (Team Awareness) designed for classroom use, and incorporate recent technological innovations in Internet- based education and social interaction. An electronic program of this sort can reach more workers than classroom training, and provide materials they can come back to for reference and retraining. This Fast Track application has four specific aims: (1) develop a prototype electronic program (called TeamUpnow) that is attractive, dynamic, and supports social interaction with both Internet and cell-phone technology; (2) build the program, using feedback from an expert review and pilot-test of the prototype; (3) test the effectiveness of TeamUpnow in a six-month randomized trial with 48 work departments, drawn from three distinct organizations; this controlled study will assess changes in AOD use, workplace drinking climate, help-seeking attitudes, and utilization of employee assistance services; and (4) evaluate use of the program among workers who receive it. To appeal to workers, the program will couch health messages in a series of highly interactive simulations in five different areas: tolerance, coping skills, relationships, wellness, and giving and getting help. Information in this learning center is reinforced through quizzes and a learning game that can be played in three modes (solo play, with a team, and in team competition). Quizzes and game play also allow users to earn incentives. Phase I will develop a program prototype and pilot test it to ensure usability and functionality are as expected (Aim 1). Three key milestones to be met are (1) prototype development for evaluation of proof of concept, (2) pilot testing, and (3) identifying prototype revisions for Phase II production. Phase II evaluation involves a cluster randomized trial wherein groups will be randomly assigned to receive (k=24) or not receive (k=24) TeamUpnow. Phase II evaluation involves an estimate of 384 workers completing pre-post surveys. The project involves strategic partners in the field of employee assistance (EAP) services and software design for online marketing. The online, social, and game play aspects of TeamUpnow (including a cell-phone interface) give the program especially strong potential to reach young working adults who are at greatest risk for AOD abuse. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Adult employee alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse have continued to be a problem for employers and society despite recent developments in workplace prevention programming and policies. The proposed project is relevant to public health in aiming to reduce worker AOD abuse and encourage help-seeking. It will take an existing and effective classroom AOD prevention program and re-develop it as an Internet- and cell-phone based learning tool and team-oriented game to appeal to a wide group of workers. The program will also link directly to employee assistance resources (e.g., counselors) so users will be able to both receive and suggest help to peers, as in the original classroom design.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期目标是减少工人，工作组和工作环境中酒精和其他药物（AOD）滥用的风险。年度全国调查继续显示雇员滥用AOD的问题及其对健康和生产力的影响。为了应对这一挑战，拟议的项目将制定一个电子预防方案，该方案有能力持续传播到工作环境中。它将基于一个为课堂使用而设计的循证计划（团队意识），并将最近的技术创新纳入基于互联网的教育和社会互动。这类电子课程比课堂培训能接触到更多的工人，并提供他们可以回来参考和再培训的材料。这个快速通道应用程序有四个具体目标：（1）开发一个原型电子程序（称为TeamUpnow），这是有吸引力的，动态的，并支持与互联网和手机技术的社会互动;（2）建立程序，使用来自专家审查和原型试点测试的反馈;（3）在为期六个月的随机试验中测试TeamUpnow的有效性，试验对象是来自三个不同组织的48个工作部门;这项对照研究将评估AOD使用、工作场所饮酒气候、寻求帮助的态度和员工援助服务利用率的变化;（4）评估接受该计划的员工对该计划的使用情况。为了吸引员工，该计划将在五个不同领域的一系列高度互动的模拟中提供健康信息：宽容、应对技能、人际关系、健康以及给予和获得帮助。在这个学习中心的信息是通过测验和学习游戏，可以在三种模式（独奏，与团队，并在团队竞争）发挥加强。测验和游戏也可以让用户获得奖励。第一阶段将开发一个程序原型并进行试点测试，以确保可用性和功能符合预期（目标1）。需要达到的三个关键里程碑是：（1）用于评估概念验证的原型开发，（2）试点测试，以及（3）确定第二阶段生产的原型修订。II期评价涉及一项随机分组试验，其中各组将被随机分配接受（k=24）或不接受（k=24）TeamUpnow。第二阶段的评价涉及估计384名工人完成了职前调查。该项目涉及员工援助（EAP）服务和在线营销软件设计领域的战略合作伙伴。TeamUpnow的在线，社交和游戏方面（包括手机界面）使该计划特别有可能接触到最有可能滥用AOD的年轻工作成年人。 公共卫生关系：尽管工作场所预防规划和政策最近取得了进展，但成年员工酗酒和其他药物（AOD）滥用仍然是雇主和社会的一个问题。建议的项目与公共卫生有关，旨在减少工人滥用AOD和鼓励寻求帮助。它将采取现有的和有效的课堂AOD预防计划，并重新开发它作为一个基于互联网和手机的学习工具和面向团队的游戏，以吸引广大的工人群体。该计划还将直接链接到员工援助资源（例如，辅导员），因此用户将能够接收并向同伴建议帮助，就像在最初的课堂设计中一样。
