Development of a Web-Based Analytic Tool for Strategic Prevention Planning

描述（由申请人提供）：基于网络的战略预防规划分析工具的发展这第一阶段SBIR建议的重点是重要的实际问题，目前抑制发展的数据为基础的决策系统，是可行的和有用的地方规划，干预设计和资源分配。尽管州、县和市收集了大量与预防规划者相关的数据，但现有的这些数据的分析和显示通常对规划过程没有用处。现有的数据是以不统一的格式和不同的时间间隔收集的，而且往往是在对地方规划和决策来说过于包容的各级汇总的。尽管越来越多的政策预期，预防将由当地基于数据的规划（例如，SAMHSA的SPF倡议），这一关键步骤很少发生，因为收集数据和进行分析所需的资源和专业知识在地方一级无法获得。现在需要的是一个系统和灵活的分析模板，指导用户：（a）从现有公共档案中提取和转移相关数据;（B）将提取的数据整理成数据集，以备分析;（c）编制具体的亚群体和具体地域的比较和趋势估计数;（d）以清晰易懂的表格和图表输出信息。EMT建议通过开发一种基于网络的工具来改善这一关键的能力瓶颈，通过该工具，州，县和当地社区可以实际访问药物滥用后果的相关和可比的档案指标，并轻松生成满足当地决策和报告需求的细粒度分析。我们的第一阶段活动集中在四个目标：1）为拟议的药物滥用后果决策支持系统制定产品计划和规范文件，2）使用加州数据开发一个功能齐全的在线原型; 3）通过专家和最终用户的反馈评估原型的可用性和决策效用;以及4）评估第二阶段的可行性和影响。目前的政策重点是利用酒精和其他毒品指标数据制定综合预防计划。联邦向各州提供预防规划资金1）要求使用战略规划框架（SPF），这是一种数据驱动的规划模型，2）使用AOD国家成果措施（NOM）来确定社区和州在处理酒精和药物问题方面的有效性。该项目提议开发一个基于网络的原型，利用ADO事件数据的档案数据集，促进地方（县）一级的规划和评估工作。这项计划可为本地规划人员提供单一来源的可用格式的气溶胶光学厚度数据汇编，从而带来重大效益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development of a Web-based Analytic Tool for Strategic Prevention Planning This Phase I SBIR proposal focuses on important practical issues that currently inhibit the development of data-based decision systems that are feasible and useful for local planning, intervention design, and resource allocation. Although states, counties, and municipalities gather an abundance of data relevant to prevention planners, existing analysis and display of these data are typically not useful to the planning process. Available data is collected in non- uniform formats and varying time intervals, and often aggregated at levels too inclusive for local planning and decision-making. Despite increasing policy expectations that prevention will be driven by local data-based planning (e.g., SAMHSA's SPF initiative), this critical step seldom takes place because the resources and expertise necessary to collect the data and do the analysis are not available on a local level. What is needed is a systematic and flexible analysis template that will guide users in a) extracting and transferring relevant data from available public archives, b) organizing extracted data in data sets ready for analysis, c) producing specified sub-population and specific geographic comparisons and trend estimates, and d) outputting information in clear understandable tables and graphs. EMT proposes ameliorate this crucial capacity bottle neck by developing a web-based tool through which states, counties, and local communities can realistically access relevant and comparable archival indicators of substance abuse consequences and easily produce fine-grained analyses that meet local decision-making and reporting needs. Our Phase I activities focus on four aims: 1) develop a product plan and specification document for the proposed Substance Abuse Consequences Decision Support System, 2) develop a fully functioning online prototype using California data; 3) assess usability and decision utility of the prototype through feedback from experts and end users; and 4) assess feasibility and implications for Phase II. There is currently a strong policy focus on utilizing alcohol and other drug (AOD) indicator data in developing comprehensive prevention plans. Federal funding to states for prevention planning 1) require the use of the Strategic Planning Framework (SPF), which is a data driven planning model, and 2) the use of AOD National Outcome Measures (NOMs) for determining community and state effectiveness in dealing with alcohol and drug problems. This project proposes the development of a web-based prototype that makes use of archival data sets on ADO incident data to facilitate local (county) level planning and assessment efforts. This project can bring important benefits by effectively providing a single source compilation of AOD data in a manipulate-able format for local planners.
