Substance Abuse Prevention Media Literacy HS Curriculum

描述(由申请者提供)：为了回应NIDA发表的呼吁创新旨在预防物质滥用的教育计划的研究主题，拟议的项目将开发一种经验性测试的媒体素养物质滥用预防课程，供高中生使用。课程将采用海报大小的活动挂图形式，一面是视觉教具，背面是教案、讨论笔记、活动、多媒体应用程序和学科领域联系。SBIR的最终目标是开发一个以证据为基础的、易于使用的课程，该课程可以灵活地适应现有课程，从而增加青少年对媒体素养物质滥用预防方案的使用。在计划阶段，我们会探讨制订拟议课程的科学基础。我们将开发三节课的原型以及相应的课程计划和活动。然后，将对高中生进行四个重点小组，以评估拟议教育方法的可行性。最后，我们将请专家对课程原型进行评估。假设原型有希望，这个项目的第二阶段将完成课程开发，并评估课程在改变高中生关于物质使用的知识、态度和行为方面的有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to published NIDA research topics calling for innovation in educational programs aimed at substance abuse prevention, the proposed project will develop an empirically tested media literacy substance abuse prevention curriculum for use with high school students. The curriculum will take the form of a poster-size flipchart with visual aids on one side of the page and lesson plans, discussion notes, activities, multi-media applications, and subject area connections on the reverse. The ultimate goal of this SBIR is to develop an evidence-based, easy-to-use curriculum that can be flexibly fit into existing curricula such that use of media literacy substance abuse prevention programs with adolescents increases. In Phase of the project, we will explore the scientific basis to develop the proposed curriculum. We will develop prototypes of three lessons and their accompanying lesson plans and activities. Four focus groups will then be conducted with high school students to assess the feasibility of the proposed educational methodology. Finally, we will have experts evaluate the curriculum prototypes. Assuming the prototype shows promise, Phase II of this project will complete curriculum development and evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum in changing knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of high school students regarding substance use.
