MODELING DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM FIDELITY

描述(摘自申请者摘要)：基于研究的药物滥用 预防计划在以下情况下大幅减少了药物的使用 在严格的实验条件下交付。然而，这些相同的程序 当传播到研究之外时，往往只能取得适度的效果 环境。很可能节目保真度的降低，质量 交割是造成这一逆差的原因。先前的研究已经确定了 以下因素对实现高水平的 忠诚度：1)实施的完整性，2)教师对 课程，3)教师以前使用课程的经验，4)适当 教学技能，5)对计划基础的概念性理解，以及 6)对该计划的行政和社区支持。更多的品质， 7)计划执行者的角色；8)计划执行者的沟通方式 传播者，是可能影响计划结果的特征。到目前为止， 这些品质是分开研究的，但不是同时研究的。本研究 我将研究这些因素如何影响教师的工作效率 提供毒品预防计划。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from Applicant' Abstract): Research-based drug abuse prevention programs have resulted in substantial reductions in drug use when delivered under rigorous experimental conditions. However, these same programs often achieve only modest effects when disseminated beyond the research environment. It is likely that reductions in program fidelity, the quality of delivery, accounts for this deficit. Prior research has identified the following factors as being potentially important for achieving high levels of fidelity: 1) completeness of implementation, 2) teachers' attitudes toward the program, 3) teachers' prior experience with the program, 4) appropriate teaching skills, 5) conceptual understanding of the basis of the program, and 6) administrative and community support for the program. Additional qualities, 7) the role of the program deliverer and 8) the communication style of the deliverer, are characteristics that may influence program outcomes. To date, these qualities have been studied separately but not simultaneously. This study will examine how these factors contribute to teachers' effectiveness at delivering a drug prevention program.
