A Chinese Adaptation of the ASI-Multimedia Version

描述(由申请人提供)：此快速通道应用程序建议改编以前开发的自主管理的多媒体版成瘾严重程度指数(ASI)，称为ASI-MV。ASL是最广泛使用的成瘾严重程度衡量标准。它现在在一些政府司法管辖区得到授权，并正在迅速成为化学品依赖的标准评估。这个项目将把ASI-MV扩展到美国经常被忽视的亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民(AAPI)，即非英语亚文化。我们建议对ASI-MV的内容进行有效的改编，以适用于一个AAPI群体，特别是说普通话或广东话的华裔美国人。在第一阶段，ASI-MV剧本的一部分将被改编成普通话和广东话中文，并进行预先测试。在第二阶段，将完成两种语文的剧本，并将其纳入光盘方案的原型，称为中文-ASI-MV(C-ASI-MV)。第二阶段的现场测试包括评估项目的(1)重测信度、(2)标准效度(包括跨种族因素等效性)和(3)区分效度。最终产品将作为我们广泛的与药物滥用有关的多媒体工具套件的一部分进行销售。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Fast-Track application proposes to adapt to Chinese a previously developed self-administered, multimedia version of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), called the ASI-MV. The ASl is the most widely used measure of addiction severity. It is now mandated in some governmental jurisdictions and is rapidly becoming a standard assessment for chemical dependency. This project will extend the ASI-MV to the often ignored, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), non-English-speaking subcultures in the U.S. We propose a content valid adaptation of the ASI-MV for one AAPI group, specifically, Chinese Americans who speak Mandarin or Cantonese. In Phase I, part of the ASI-MV script will be adapted to Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese and pretested. In Phase II, the script will be completed for both languages and incorporated into a prototype of the CD-ROM program, called the Chinese-ASI-MV (C-ASI-MV). The Phase II field trial involves evaluation of the program's (1) test-retest reliability, (2) criterion validity (including cross-ethnic factorial equivalence), and (3) discriminant validity. The final product will be marketed as part of our extensive suite of substance abuse-related, multimedia tools.
