DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Background: Alcohol use disorders are common among primary care patients. They are also associated with serious adverse effects. Many health care professionals, however, often lack sufficient background in alcohol screening and brief intervention strategies to effectively help patients who use alcohol above recommended limits. In particular, they often lack the necessary interpersonal process skills critical to addressing issues of patient resistance and ambivalence about reducing their alcohol use. Purpose: The primary goal of this STRR Phase I grant is to develop and evaluate a prototype interactive personal computer-based training simulation, designed to teach healthcare providers to conduct alcohol screening and brief intervention. SIMmersion LLC has developed this proposal in partnership with faculty and scientists at the University of Wisconsin Medical School (UW). SIMmersion's simulation development capacity is based on proprietary technology that has been used to produce human simulations for several Government agencies. Methodology: During Phase I an expert panel consisting of UW students and health care professionals will work in collaboration with SIMmersion to develop the content and verbal scripts for the clinical scenarios. They will also conduct an interim assessment designed to maximize the accuracy and real life applicability of the prototype before starting with the Phase II grant. The Phase II grant will be used to add video to the simulation, help screens and other training aids to the product. It will also be used to conduct a randomized educational trial to demonstrate the efficacy of the computer based training simulation in improving the skills of health care providers. Significance: The simulated patient program, using the SIMmersion technology, is expected to significantly advance our ability to train medical professionals in human processing and interaction skills. Commercialization of the proposed training program will focus on marketing the product to health care professional schools in the US and Western Europe, specialty society continuing education programs and health care systems. The product will have important economic advantages over other methods of training medical personal about alcohol screening and brief intervention.

描述（由申请人提供）：背景：饮酒障碍在初级保健患者中很常见。它们也与严重的不利影响有关。但是，许多医疗保健专业人员通常缺乏足够的酒精筛查和简短干预策略的背景，可以有效地帮助使用饮酒的患者高于建议的限制。特别是，他们通常缺乏必要的人际交往能力，这对于解决患者抵抗和减少饮酒的矛盾性至关重要。目的：此STRR I阶段资助的主要目标是开发和评估原型的基于个人计算机的培训模拟，旨在教导医疗保健提供者进行酒精筛查和简短干预。 Simmersion LLC已与威斯康星大学医学院（UW）的教师和科学家合作制定了这项建议。 Simmersion的模拟开发能力基于专有技术，该技术已用于为多个政府机构生成人类模拟。方法论：在第一阶段，由UW学生和医疗保健专业人员组成的专家小组将与Simmersion合作开发临床场景的内容和口头脚本。他们还将进行临时评估，旨在在从II阶段赠款开始之前最大化原型的准确性和现实生活适用性。第二阶段赠款将用于将视频添加到模拟中，帮助屏幕和其他培训辅助工具为产品。它还将用于进行随机教育试验，以证明基于计算机的培训模拟在提高医疗保健提供者技能方面的功效。意义：模拟的患者计划，使用Simmersion技术，预计将显着提高我们在人类处理和互动技能方面培训医学专业人员的能力。拟议培训计划的商业化将集中在美国和西欧的医疗保健专业学校，专业社会继续教育计划和医疗保健系统上。与其他培训医学个人有关酒精筛查和简短干预的医学个人方法相比，该产品将具有重要的经济优势。
