CANCER PREVENTION CD-ROM--ADOLESCENT REPORT

产品说明：这项研究的长期目标是开发和测试一个CD-ROM实况调查程序，以教授基本的癌症预防和控制。 目标用户将是12至15岁的青少年，他们将扮演一名专门研究健康问题的电视调查记者。该计划将通过追踪，故事线索，保持笔记，研究主题和制作新闻报道来鼓励学习者积极参与。 用户将有能力选择和编辑预先录制的数字视频片段，输入文本，并记录画外音叙述，以产生一个新闻报道。 我们希望最终产品的用户能够获得知识并改善降低癌症风险的行为。 第一阶段将允许用户制作一个专门向未成年人推销香烟的广告。 我们将通过焦点小组讨论来评估目标群体对软件概念、用户界面和内容的兴趣。 通过问卷，我们将衡量使用前到使用后的知识变化。 在第二阶段，原型将扩大到包括更多关于不同癌症相关主题的研究，更高水平的复杂性和不可预测性以及更复杂的研究设计。 该产品的预期使用点是学校和家庭中快速增长的教育软件市场。

DESCRIPTION: The long-term aim of this research is to develop and test a CD-ROM fact-finding program to teach fundamental cancer prevention and control. Target users will be adolescents ages 12 through 15, who will role-play an investigative television reporter specializing in health issues. The program will encourage active learner participation through tracing down, story leads, maintaining notes, researching topics, and producing news reports. Users will have the capacity to select and edit prerecorded digital video segments, enter text, and record voice-over narration to produce a news report. We expect users of the final product to gain knowledge and improve cancer risk reduction behaviors. Phase I will allow users to produce an exposi focusing on marketing cigarettes to minors. We will evaluate target group interest in the software's concept, user interface, and content through focus group discussions. With questionnaires we will measure pre- to post-use knowledge change. In Phase II, the prototype will be enlarged to include more investigations on diverse cancer-related topics, greater levels of complexity and unpredictability and a more sophisticated research design. Points of use envisioned for this product are the rapidly growing educational software markets in both schools and homes.
