DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The widespread adverse social, medical and personal consequences of substance abuse are well documented, and physicians are a key resource in the network of education, prevention and treatment that exists to deal with this problem. Physicians play an essential role in the early recognition and treatment of substance abuse and they are crucial for providing leadership in educating the public that addiction is primarily a medical problem - a substance-induced disease of the brain. It is essential that all physicians have the best available education possible about substance abuse. To address this problem, we plan to construct a unique state of the art internet-based educational program on substance abuse that will be available to all medical students in the USA. In collaboration with leading national experts in the field, tutorials covering the neurobiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical course, psychology and treatment of substance abuse for each of the 4 years of medical school are being constructed. Each tutorial utilizes text, tables, figures, animations, movies, a popup glossary and links for additional reading. A central feature of each tutorial is the use of interactive animations and questions that produce immediate feedback to the student regarding their performance. This involves them in active learning and simultaneously assesses their performance. An initial Yale Medical School server based program has been constructed which allows easy modification and updating of each tutorial by faculty and provides data on the students' performance. This program will be revised and extended to serve a large number of users, allow multiple types of questions, be useable with "Blackboard", be compatible with the Shared Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), and respond to the Americans with Disability Act. The ability of the program to provide data on each student's performance before, during and after each tutorial will allow for evidence-based improvements to be made in the tutorials over time, and will allow documentation of the amount of knowledge and understanding of substance abuse for medical students across the nation. The computer program will be made available to other medical schools to allow for local modifications and improvements. By providing effective modern substance abuse education for medical schools we will accomplish a major step toward improving the role of physicians in dealing this serious national problem.

描述（由申请人提供）：药物滥用对社会、医疗和个人造成的广泛不良后果已有详细记录，医生是解决这一问题的教育、预防和治疗网络中的关键资源。医生在药物滥用的早期识别和治疗方面发挥着至关重要的作用，他们在教育公众成瘾主要是一个医学问题（一种由药物引起的大脑疾病）方面发挥着至关重要的领导作用。所有医生都必须接受有关药物滥用的最佳教育，这一点至关重要。为了解决这个问题，我们计划建立一个独特的、最先进的基于互联网的药物滥用教育计划，该计划将提供给美国所有医学生。与该领域的国内领先专家合作，正在为医学院四年制的每一学年构建涵盖神经生物学、发病机制、流行病学、诊断、临床过程、心理学和药物滥用治疗的教程。每个教程都使用文本、表格、图形、动画、电影、弹出术语表和供额外阅读的链接。每个教程的一个核心特点是使用交互式动画和问题，为学生的表现提供即时反馈。这让他们参与主动学习并同时评估他们的表现。耶鲁大学医学院最初构建了基于服务器的程序，该程序允许教师轻松修改和更新每个教程，并提供有关学生表现的数据。该程序将被修改和扩展，以服务大量用户，允许多种类型的问题，可与“Blackboard”一起使用，与共享内容对象参考模型（SCORM）兼容，并响应美国残疾人法案。该计划能够在每次辅导之前、期间和之后提供每个学生表现的数据，这将允许随着时间的推移在辅导中进行基于证据的改进，并允许记录学生对药物滥用的知识量和理解。全国的医学生。该计算机程序将提供给其他医学院，以便当地进行修改和改进。通过为医学院提供有效的现代药物滥用教育，我们将在改善医生在解决这一严重的国家问题方面的作用方面迈出重要一步。
