DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase I SBIR grant application requests six months of funding to develop and feasibility test an innovative Web-based distribution channel for increasing the dissemination, adoption, implementation, and sustainability (DAIS) of evidence-based substance use prevention programs to United States military personnel. Substance use and abuse, particularly heavy alcohol and tobacco use, remain problematic in the military and adversely affect health, safety, military fitness levels, deployment readiness, active service, and increase health care costs. Significant progress has been made in the development and testing of evidence-based prevention programs (EBPPs); however, these programs are underutilized in military settings. A systematic mechanism is needed to disseminate EBPPs to key military decision-makers. Alcohol and Drug Control Officers (ADCOs) and similar personnel oversee the provision of a variety of programs and services to military personnel and are important decision-makers in military settings. Indeed, ADCOs and related personnel have great potential to become dissemination agents and program champions for EBPPs. Accordingly, the goal of this proposed project is to develop a Web-based distribution channel for ADCOs and related personnel that will facilitate the DAIS of EBPPs to military personnel. In the proposed Phase I project, we will develop prototypes of the key components of the Web-based distribution channel, which will include informational resources on evidence- based programs, training and technical assistance resources to facilitate the implementation and sustainability of programs, a marketing toolkit, an electronic newsletter, and a decision support mechanism. Prevention programs for the workplace will be featured. Prior to prototype development, we will conduct key informant interviews with ADCOs from the Army to obtain input regarding ways to optimize the distribution channel components to meet the needs of local Army personnel. Following prototype development, we will conduct focus groups with ADCOs currently serving new recruits and young adult Army personnel to obtain their feedback regarding the feasibility and utility of the components in facilitating the DAIS of EBPPs. In Phase II, we will fully develop and populate the Web-based components and conduct a large-scale effectiveness trial involving the five branches of the U.S. military (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project involves the development and feasibility testing of a technology-based distribution channel for increasing the dissemination, adoption, implementation, and sustainability (DAIS) of evidence-based substance use prevention programs to service providers for United States Military personnel. Incorporating input from Alcohol and Drug Control Officers (ADCOs) from the US Army, as well as from an expert military psychologist, a prototype of a multi-component, Web-based distribution channel will be developed and populated with information about evidence-based workplace prevention programming. The feasibility and utility of the components will be focus group tested among ADCOs currently serving new recruits and young adult Army personnel in terms of the utility of the components in facilitating the DAIS of evidence-based programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段 SBIR 拨款申请需要六个月的资金来开发和可行性测试基于网络的创新分销渠道，以提高循证物质使用的传播、采用、实施和可持续性 (DAIS)针对美国军事人员的预防计划。药物使用和滥用，特别是酗酒和吸烟，在军队中仍然存在问题，并对健康、安全、军人体能水平、部署准备、现役服役产生不利影响，并增加医疗保健成本。循证预防计划（EBPP）的开发和测试取得了重大进展；然而，这些方案在军事环境中并未得到充分利用。需要一种系统机制来向关键军事决策者传播 EBPP。酒精和药物管制官员 (ADCO) 和类似人员负责监督向军事人员提供的各种计划和服务，并且是军事环境中的重要决策者。事实上，ADCO 和相关人员具有成为 EBPP 传播代理人和项目倡导者的巨大潜力。因此，该拟议项目的目标是为 ADCO 和相关人员开发一个基于网络的分发渠道，以促进军事人员的 EBPP DAIS。在拟议的第一阶段项目中，我们将开发基于网络的分销渠道的关键组件的原型，其中将包括有关基于证据的计划的信息资源、培训和技术援助资源以促进计划的实施和可持续性、营销工具包、电子通讯和决策支持机制。工作场所的预防计划将成为重点。在原型开发之前，我们将与陆军 ADCO 进行关键知情人访谈，以获取有关如何优化分销渠道组件以满足当地陆军人员需求的意见。原型开发完成后，我们将与目前为新兵和年轻成年陆军人员服务的 ADCO 进行焦点小组讨论，以获取他们对促进 EBPP DAIS 各组件的可行性和实用性的反馈。在第二阶段，我们将全面开发和填充基于网络的组件，并进行涉及美国军队五个军种（陆军、海军、海军陆战队、空军和海岸警卫队）的大规模有效性试验。 公共卫生相关性：该项目涉及基于技术的分销渠道的开发和可行性测试，以提高向美国军事人员的服务提供商传播、采用、实施和可持续性（DAIS）基于证据的药物使用预防计划。结合美国陆军酒精和药物管制官员 (ADCO) 以及军事心理学家专家的意见，将开发一个多组件、基于网络的分发渠道原型，并填充有关基于证据的工作场所的信息预防规划。这些组件的可行性和实用性将在目前为新兵和年轻成年陆军人员服务的 ADCO 中进行焦点小组测试，测试这些组件在促进基于证据的计划的 DAIS 方面的实用性。
