WORKPLACE CD ROM DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR PARENTS

青少年滥用药物的程度仍然高得令人无法容忍。研究表明，父母可以通过温暖、权威的家庭管理对孩子产生强大的影响；强大的附件;积极的父母模式；以及更少的宽容态度。证据令人信服地证明，预防项目是专门针对父母的。工作场所是一个未被充分利用的针对父母的资源。虽然存在针对家长的预防项目，但很少考虑到青少年的发展阶段，更少的是为家长提供个人学习、行为建模和使用交互式多媒体技术的替代学习的机会。最后，很少有学校能在家长方便的时候为他们提供这些机会。这项研究的目的是为在职父母开发和测试一种基于cd - rom的青少年药物滥用预防计划。该计划将包括使用引人入胜的视频短片和推荐信。在第一阶段，将开发光盘计划的初步结构和内容，并在工作父母的焦点小组中测试计划原型草案。我们将对美国各地的公司进行抽样调查，以评估对基于CD- rom的工作场所项目的需求和可行性。在第二阶段，该方案将进行严格的实地测试，相应修改，并准备向工作场所推销。建议的商业应用：父母可以对他们的孩子是否参与药物滥用有很大的影响，但是很少有针对父母的预防计划，将行为建模和替代学习的机会与交互式多媒体CD-ROM的独特教学能力结合起来。为在职父母精心开发的基于光盘的预防程序应该对父母及其雇主具有相当大的吸引力。

Substance abuse among adolescents continues at intolerably high levels. Research indicates that parents can provide a powerful influence over their children through warm, authoritative family management; strong attachments; positive parental modeling; and less permissive attitudes. The evidence argues convincingly for prevention programs directed specifically at parents. The workplace is an underutilized resource for targeting parents. Although prevention programs for parents exist, very few consider the adolescent's stage of development, and fewer still provide parents with opportunities for individual learning, behavior modeling, and vicarious learning using interactive, multi-media technology. Finally, few exist that provide these opportunities for parents at their convenience. The objective of the research is to develop and test a CD-ROM-based adolescent substance abuse prevention program for working parents. The program will include the use of engaging video vignettes and testimonials. In Phase I, the preliminary structure and content of the CD-ROM program will be developed and a draft program prototype will be tested with focus groups of working parents. A sample of corporations across the U.S. will be interviewed to asess the demand for, and feasibility of the workplace CD- ROM-based program. In Phase II, the program will be rigorously field- tested, revised accordingly, and prepared to marketing to workplaces. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Parents can have a powerful influence over whether their children engage in substance abuse, yet few prevention programs exist for parents that combine opportunities for behavioral modeling and vicarious learning with the unique teaching capacity if interactive multi-media CD-ROM. A carefully developed, CD-ROM-based prevention program for working parents should be of considerable appeal to parents and their employers.
