DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this STTR project is to increase the commercial application of an NIH/SAMHSA model prevention program called, Reconnecting Youth(r) [RY(r)]. When implemented with fidelity, RY is an efficacious substance abuse prevention program. Currently we face 3 challenges: (1) out-dated training materials relative to a revised RY curriculum; (2) demands for RY training that out-strip Trainer resources; and (3) too little technical support to consumers. The Specific Aims for Phase I begin to address these 3 problems. These aims are to: 1. Update and revise the theory-based training manuals/materials to match the revised RY curriculum- Reconnecting Youth: A Peer Group Approach to Building Life Skills, 2nd ed. [2004]; 2. Create an alternative training model that addresses demands for a more flexible, Web-enhanced approach; and 3. Create an RY Web site to increase access to RY implementation information and downloadable materials (e.g., pdf, ppt or Word files) making broad dissemination of technical support more efficient and cost-effective. Four Phase I products are expected: (1) a 2nd ed. RY Trainer Manual + training aids, (2) a 2nd ed. RY Teacher Guide To Fidelity; (3) an e-based prototype for training to "Facilitating No Drug-Use" in RY, and (4) an RY Web site. Evaluation of Phase I activities will examine product feasibility, desirability, the potential for both increased RY fidelity and expanded dissemination of RY training and technical support. Phase II will include an experimental test of the alternative training model vs. the traditional training model, vs. a no training control approach. Innovativeness/significance: The mission of NIH and SAMSHA is to foster technology transfer and implementation fidelity of research-based, effective drug abuse prevention programs. Surprisingly, few model program developers have researched the efficacy of their training models relative to fidelity. The project is all about fidelity-creating quality products for greater dissemination through training and technical support-ultimately to help school communities implement RY with fidelity, thus ensuring that their students achieve the highest-possible benefits from Reconnecting Youth.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该 STTR 项目的长期目标是增加 NIH/SAMHSA 模型预防计划（称为 Reconnecting Youth(r) [RY(r)]）的商业应用。如果忠实实施，RY 是一项有效的药物滥用预防计划。目前我们面临3个挑战：（1）与修订后的RY课程相关的培训材料过时； (2) RY 培训需求超出培训师资源； (3)对消费者的技术支持太少。 第一阶段的具体目标开始解决这三个问题。这些目标是： 1. 更新和修订基于理论的培训手册/材料，以匹配修订后的 RY 课程 - 重新连接青年：建立生活技能的同侪群体方法，第二版。 [2004]； 2. 创建替代培训模型，满足对更灵活、网络增强方法的需求；和 3. 创建 RY 网站，以增加对 RY 实施信息和可下载材料（例如 pdf、ppt 或 Word 文件）的访问，从而更高效、更具成本效益地广泛传播技术支持。 预计将有四个第一阶段产品：(1) 第二版。 RY 培训师手册 + 培训辅助工具，(2) 第二版。 RY 教师忠诚指南； (3) 一个基于电子的原型，用于在 RY 中进行“促进禁止吸毒”培训，以及 (4) 一个 RY 网站。第一阶段活动的评估将审查产品的可行性、可取性、提高 RY 保真度和扩大 RY 培训和技术支持传播的潜力。第二阶段将包括对替代训练模型与传统训练模型以及无训练控制方法的实验测试。 创新性/意义：NIH 和 SAMSHA 的使命是促进基于研究的有效药物滥用预防计划的技术转让和实施保真度。令人惊讶的是，很少有模型程序开发人员研究过其训练模型相对于保真度的功效。该项目的宗旨是“忠诚”——通过培训和技术支持创造优质产品，以便更好地传播——最终帮助学校社区忠实地实施 RY，从而确保学生从“重新连接青年”中获得最大可能的收益。
