While Congress has mandated inclusion of minority groups in NIH funded clinical trials, within NIAAA sponsored trials, disparities in participation of ethnic and minority groups have been identified, and minority enrollment among Hispanics and Asian populations has been recently decreasing. One method of increasing enrollment is to make available to researchers validated measures in non-English languages, and to make the resulting instruments more accessible to participants with lower literacy by providing audio enhancement. To help achieve the goal of increasing the number of minority participants in alcohol-related clinical research, this Phase I study will assess the feasibility of developing a 508 compliant online searchable database of non-English alcohol-related measures that can be accessed via a mobile device application. The feature rich tablet app will increase database use, facilitate selection of and access to non-English measures, and provide a simple easy to use survey creation and administration tool that clinical researchers can use with non-English speaking participants. The tablet app will integrate no-cost access to the database. This feature will help provide researchers, clinicians, and others with a complete set of tools to meet the primary objective of including non-English speaking participants in their alcohol- related research, thereby increasing minority participation, meeting NIH mandates, and perhaps most importantly, expanding the knowledge base about ethnic minority alcohol use.

虽然国会已经授权将少数族裔纳入NIH资助的临床试验，但在NIAAA赞助的试验中，已经发现了少数民族和少数族裔参与的差异，拉美裔和亚洲人口中的少数族裔登记人数最近一直在下降。增加入学人数的一种方法是向研究人员提供非英语语言的有效测量方法，并通过提供音频增强使文化程度较低的参与者更容易获得由此产生的工具。为了帮助实现增加酒精相关临床研究中少数族裔参与者数量的目标，这项第一阶段研究将评估开发一个符合508标准的在线可搜索数据库的可行性，该数据库可通过移动设备应用程序访问非英语酒精相关措施。功能丰富的平板应用程序将增加数据库的使用，促进非英语测量的选择和访问，并提供一个简单易用的调查创建和管理工具，临床研究人员可以与非英语参与者一起使用。这款平板电脑应用程序将集成对数据库的免费访问。这一功能将有助于为研究人员、临床医生和其他人提供一整套工具，以实现将非英语参与者纳入与酒精相关的研究的主要目标，从而增加少数族裔的参与，满足NIH的要求，或许最重要的是，扩大关于少数族裔酒精使用的知识库。
