Interactive CD-ROM & Website for Monitoring & Training

描述（由研究者提供）：积极行动（PA）计划 自1982年以来一直用于预防毒品。这是一个全面的计划， 包括K- 12教室，学校气候变化，家长 参与和社区伙伴关系。评估数据显示， 有效减少吸毒和其他问题行为， 学校表现。它被公认为示范性综合学校 改革方案和安全无毒学校的有效方案。 评估数据还发现，当学校 积极行动公司（Positive Action，Inc.，PAl）随着这种认识而来的是 教师/工作人员培训需要采取更有效的方法，沿着 采用更注重技术的方法来监测执行情况。因此，PAL 建议修订其目前的培训和实施视频， 互动式光盘，并在新的方法中培训巴勒斯坦解放组织的主教练。这些 活动将在第一阶段开始，第二阶段将扩大到包括 一个互动网站。我们还将开发一个网站， 收集学校的推行活动及进度。可能的 视频/光盘培训材料的有效性将在第三阶段进行评估 I.我们将随机分配八所学校四个条件：1）面授 仅PI提供的在职培训，2）仅CD-ROM，3）在职+ CD-ROM， （4）没有培训。如果发现有效，则在第二阶段， 扩展到基于Web的。基于网络的监测的可能有效性 还将在第一阶段评估执行情况，并在第二阶段加以完善。的 培训PAT主培训师的有效性也将在第一阶段进行评估 I. 拟定商业应用： 这对于为学校预防方案提供信息具有很大的潜力， 培训和监督实施，以确保该计划用于 忠诚度和最大效率。这是最大的问题之一 预防计划面临的。这不仅有助于PA项目学习 如何利用技术加强培训和执行 但它将有助于所有预防方案， 模型来模仿。它将为预防项目提供培训和技术支持， 帮助兽医标准化和定制化服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): The Positive Action (PA) program has been used for drug prevention since 1982. It is a comprehensive program that includes components for K- 12 classrooms, school climate change, parent involvement and community partnerships. Evaluation data demonstrate its effectiveness at reducing drug use and other problem behaviors and enhancing school performance. It has been recognized as a model comprehensive school reform program and an effective program for Safe and Drug Free Schools. Evaluation data also find that the program is more effective when schools receive training from Positive Action, Inc (PAl). With this recognition comes the need for a more effective approach to teacher/staff training, along with a more technology-based approach to monitoring implementation. Therefore, PAl proposes to revise its current training and implementation videos, to create interactive CD-ROMs, and train PAl master trainers in the new approach. These activities will begin in Phase I, and in Phase II will be expanded to include an interactive website. We will also develop a website that will include data collection of schools' implementation activities and progress. The likely effectiveness of the video/CD-ROM training materials will be evaluated in Phase I. We will randomly assign eight schools to four conditions: 1) face-to-face in-service training from the PI only, 2) CD-ROM only, 3) in-service + CD-ROM, and 4) no training. If found effective, then in Phase II the approach will be expanded to be web-based. The likely effectiveness of web-based monitoring of implementation will also be assessed in Phase I, and refined in Phase II. The effectiveness of training PAT master trainers will also be evaluated in Phase I. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: This has great potential for informing school-based prevention programs about training and monitoring implementation to assure that the program is used with fidelity and maximum effectiveness. This is one of the biggest problems prevention programs face. Not only would it serve the PA program to learn ways that technology could be used to enhance the training and implementation process but it would assist all prevention programs by having an effective model to emulate. It would give prevention programs providing training and technical assistance a way to standardize vet customize their service.
