Administrative supplement to 5R44DA025375-03: Prescription drug abuse prevention

我们要求对我们的快速通道资助号5 R44 DA 025375 -03的第二阶段进行行政补充，标题为POP-D：处方药青少年科学教育课程（POP-D）。行政补充将增加POP-D将对我们的目标人群中的处方药滥用领域产生强烈整体影响的可能性7和8年级的学生，他们的老师和家长。更 具体而言，行政补充将支持建立一个分发网站，学生、教师和家长可以在该网站上使用POP-D课程，并探索有关处方药的信息，这些药物如何影响大脑，以及如何防止滥用。 POP-D是针对7年级和8年级学生的处方药滥用科学教育和预防课程。课程包括六个单元的教师指南和学生讲义，用于实施关于大脑和处方药如何影响大脑的课堂课程;六个关于课堂课程所涵盖的关键概念的多媒体学生游戏;以及家长外展和教育介绍，概述处方药滥用及其预防，和链接相关的工具（如工具和检查表），以帮助家长采取行动的演示文稿的信息。 到目前为止，我们已经完成了教师指南和家长演示文稿的开发，以及六个学生游戏中的三个1。该项目的时间结束2013年6月30日，到那时，我们将完成剩余的三个学生游戏，分析和解释 评估结果，并撰写项目的最终报告。 .在2012年春季，我们进行了一项对照准实验结果评估， POP-D课程在美国各地的教室。结果评估主要探讨了POP-D的有效性，但我们也向参与的教师和家长提出了有关课程可用性及其未来效用的问题。可用性和实用性的发现，呼应了我们的顾问小组和形成性研究参与者的意见，强烈建议两件事：POP-D缺乏一个网站， 这是成功传播的关键，必须大大扩展POP-D的母体信息。 因此，我们要求补充资金，以支持创建一个POP-D网站，为学生，教师提供资源，并为家长提供更多信息，作为POP-D成功传播的关键组成部分。

We request an administrative supplement to the Phase II of our Fast Track Grant number 5R44DA025375-03, entitled POP-D: A science-education curriculum for teens on prescription drugs (POP-D). The administrative supplement will increase the likelihood that POP-D will have a strong overall impact on the field of prescription drug abuse among our target population of 7th and 8th grade students, their teachers, and parents. More specifically, the administrative supplement will support creation of a distribution website where students, teachers, and parents can use the POP-D curriculum and explore related information on prescription drugs, how they affect the brain, and how to prevent their abuse. POP-D is a science education and prevention curriculum for 7th and 8th grade students on prescription drug abuse. The curriculum consists of a six module teacher¿s guide with student handouts for implementation of classroom lessons on the brain and how prescription drugs affect the brain; six multimedia student games on key concepts covered in the classroom lessons; and a parent outreach and education presentation that provides an overview of prescription drug abuse and its prevention, and links related tools (such as worksheets and checklists) to help parents take action on the presentation¿s information. To date, we have completed development of the teachers guide and parent presentation, plus three of the six student games1. The project period ends June 30, 2013 and by that time we will complete the remaining three student games, analyze and interpret the evaluation findings, and write the project¿s final report. . In Spring 2012, we conducted a controlled quasi-experimental outcome evaluation of the POP-D curriculum in classrooms across the United States. The outcome evaluation primarily explored the effectiveness of POP-D, but we also asked participating teachers and parents pointed questions about the usability of the curriculum and its future utility. The usability and utility findings, which echoed input from our advisory panel and formative research participants, strongly suggest two things: that POP-D lacks a website, which is a lynchpin to successful dissemination, and the POP-D parent information must be greatly expanded. Therefore, we request supplemental funds to support creation of a POP-D website, with resources for students, teachers, and expanded information for parents, as a critical component for POP-D¿s successful dissemination.
