Drug Abuse Policy Surveillance System

 说明（申请人提供）：法律、法规和政策在预防和治疗药物滥用方面发挥着重要作用。它们还对吸毒者的行为和他们所居住的危险环境产生意想不到的影响。科学上有效的法律的数据是评价法律、政策及其执行对健康影响的出发点。该项目将采用科学合理、透明的方法，以最先进的方式收集代码并公布与处方药滥用有关的法律、法规和其他正式政策。 交互式、基于网络的药物滥用政策监测系统。编码工作将包括每一份法律的文本的关键变量，并将使用专门为有效和准确地编码、公布和更新纵向数据集中的法律的数据而设计的内容管理系统来完成。数据连同编码手册和详细的研究/编码协议可供下载到常用的统计软件，并与之兼容。所有数据也将以多种格式（地图、表格、可检索术语的数据库）在一个完全互动的网站上以电子方式提供。LSP的Monocle内容管理系统包括一个用于编码法律、法规和政策的独特软件平台（“The Workbench”），然后可以通过API将其发布到自定义网站、应用程序和数据系统。申请人已经成功地建立和填充了公共政策监督门户网站LawAtlas和NIDA的处方药滥用政策系统（PDAPS），该系统将于2015年初启动。该项目的方法和软件工具在其他政策领域和市场部门的商业应用中具有很大的潜力。LSP的Monocle平台目前已商业化，供研究人员、非政府组织、公司以及州和县卫生部门使用，以创建用于监测、评估、战略规划和社区参与的卫生政策数据。在其他部门（运输、法律的、能源、环境、国际发展）存在着研究、分析、监测、评估和/或可视化有关任何主题的法规、规章和/或行政规则的数据的巨大进一步商业潜力。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Laws, regulations and policies play a significant role in prevention and treatment of drug abuse. They also have unintended impacts on drug users' behavior and the risk environments they inhabit. Scientifically valid legal data is the starting point for the evaluation of the health impact of laws, policies and their implementation. This project will use scientifically sound, transparent methods to collect code and publish laws, regulations and other formalized policies relevant to prescription drug abuse in a state-of-the-art interactive, web-based Drug Abuse Policy Surveillance System. Coding will encompass key variables of interest for each legal text, and will be accomplished using a content management system designed specifically for efficiently and accurately coding, publishing and updating legal data in longitudinal datasets. Data, accompanied by code books and detailed research/coding protocols will be available for download to and compatible with commonly used statistical software. All data will also be publically accessible in multiple formats (maps, tables, term-searchable database) on a fully interactive website. LSP's Monocle content management system includes a unique software platform for coding laws, regulations and policies ("The Workbench), which it an then publish through an API to custom websites, apps and data systems. The applicants have successfully built and populated LawAtlas, a public policy surveillance web portal, and a Prescription Drug Abuse Policy System (PDAPS) for NIDA, which will be launched early in 2015. The project's approach and software tools have a high potential for commercial application in other policy areas and market sectors. LSP's Monocle platform is currently commercialized for use by researchers, non-governmental organizations, corporations and state and county health departments to create health policy data for monitoring, evaluation, strategic planning and community engagement. Significant further commercial potential exists in other sectors (transportation, legal, energy, environmental, international development) to research, analyze, monitor, evaluate and/or visualize data regarding statutes, regulations and/or administrative rules on any topic.
