Computerized ASI Follow-up and Outcome System

描述(由申请人提供)： 预计药物滥用服务提供系统将进行结果研究，但缺乏收集后续数据所需的资源和专门知识。在这份科技研究报告中，Inflexion和布兰代斯大学的海勒社会政策和管理学院提议开发计算机化的ASI后续和结果系统(CAFOS)。CAFO将使临床站点和非研究导向机构的管理人员能够以实际成本以自动化、计算机化的方式收集治疗后随访数据。CAFOS将与现有的Inflexion产品、ASI的多媒体版本以及为管理员提供分析ASI数据的统计工具的网站集成在一起。CAFOS将包括一个旨在鼓励客户与后续程序合作的多媒体客户准备工具、一个可靠和有效的后续ASI交互式语音应答(IVR)版本，以及一个数据报告系统，该系统将包括无应答建模，以便根据低于预期的客户后续应答率进行调整。第一阶段将开发客户准备工具和IVR评估的演示，以及无反应调整模型。客户接受度将与IVR和传统ASI管理之间的通信一起进行评估。第二阶段将评估该系统的有效性、产生可接受的响应率的能力和成本效益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Substance abuse service delivery systems are expected to conduct outcome studies but lack the resources and expertise needed to collect follow-up data. In this STTR, Inflexxion and Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management propose to develop the Computerized ASI Follow-up and Outcome System (CAFOS). CAFOS will empower administrators of clinical sites and non-research oriented institutions to collect post-treatment follow-up data in an automated, computerized way at a realistic cost. CAFOS will be integrated with existing Inflexxion products, a multimedia version of the ASI and a website providing administrators with statistical tools to analyze ASI data. CAFOS will consist of a multimedia client preparation tool designed to encourage client cooperation with follow-up procedures, a reliable and valid interactive voice response (IVR) version of the follow-up ASI, and a data reporting system that will include non-response modeling to adjust for lower than desired client follow-up response rates. Phase I will develop demos of the client preparation tool and the IVR assessment, as well as the non-response adjustment model. Client acceptance will be evaluated along with correspondence between the IVR and traditional ASI administration. Phase II will evaluate the system's validity, capacity to produce acceptable response rates, and cost-effectiveness.
