项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To more efficiently meet the need and demand for hepatitis C virus (HCV) information and health communication skills among thousands of addiction counselors throughout the US, this project aims to adapt an effective, accredited, trainer-delivered HCV training ("STOP HEP C training") for addiction counselors into an interactive, tailored, self-paced, easily accessible, accredited, web-based computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program. Addiction counselors sorely need this information and these skills in view of the fact that of the 4 million HCV-infected people in the US (4 times as many as HIV!), the majority are former or current drug users who often lack critically needed medical support in their communities. As a consequence, when they enter drug treatment programs, most drug users are uneducated about HCV transmission and the potential dire consequences if HCV-infected. However, addiction counselors are optimally situated to support their clients' HCV related needs. While the NIDA-funded STOP HEP C training was developed and found to be effective in increasing counselors' HCV knowledge and health communication with clients, the demand for the STOP HEP C training far exceeds the capacity to deliver it in a trainer-facilitated format. The CAI offers an optimal way to disseminate this critically needed, evidence-based, and theoretically grounded training that retains its advantages and addresses its limitations in the current format while doing so at a reduced per-person cost of delivery. During Phase I, this project: 1) revised and updated the entire curriculum; 2) adapted two of the STOP HEP C training modules into a CAI script; 2) convened an Expert Advisory Panel that evaluated the CAI script; 3) developed a self-directed prototype of the 2 modules: an introductory module with limited interactivity and an advanced highly interactive module individually tailored for either Drug Free Treatment Providers (DFTP) or Methadone-Maintenance Treatment Providers (MMTP); and 4) through qualitative and quantitative data analyses, assessed the learning effectiveness of the prototypes with a sample of potential consumers. This CAI will be superior to other currently available HCV trainings as it will provide information on health communication strategies; enable counselors to obtain counseling certification credits; be easily accessible, cost-effective, and self-paced; provide tailored information reflecting the treatment modality in which individual counselors work; and increase comprehension and retention of the material due to the interactive presentation of the information. The commercialization of the completed CAI will benefit from the secured support of regional and national associations serving addiction counselors, and businesses that have expertise in marketing health provider trainings and CAI products. In addition to sending product brochures to the extensive mailing lists of these businesses and associations, and placing advertisements on their websites with high exposure, we will market the CAI by demonstrating it at the national addiction provider conferences.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了更有效地满足全美数千名成瘾咨询师对丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）信息和健康沟通技能的需求，该项目旨在采用有效的、经过认证的、由培训师提供的 HCV培训（“STOP HEP C 培训”），为成瘾咨询师提供互动、定制、自定进度、易于访问、经过认证、基于网络的计算机辅助教学 (CAI) 计划。鉴于美国有 400 万 HCV 感染者（是 HIV 感染者的 4 倍！），其中大多数是以前或现在的吸毒者，他们往往缺乏急需的医疗服务，因此成瘾咨询师迫切需要这些信息和技能。他们社区的支持。因此，当大多数吸毒者进入戒毒治疗计划时，他们对丙型肝炎病毒的传播以及感染丙型肝炎病毒可能造成的可怕后果缺乏了解。然而，成瘾咨询师最适合支持客户的丙型肝炎相关需求。虽然 NIDA 资助的 STOP HEP C 培训已开发出来，并被发现可有效提高咨询师的 HCV 知识以及与客户的健康沟通，但对 STOP HEP C 培训的需求远远超出了以培训师推动的形式提供培训的能力。 CAI 提供了一种最佳方式来传播这种迫切需要的、基于证据和理论基础的培训，该培训保留了其优势并解决了当前格式的局限性，同时降低了人均培训成本。在第一阶段，该项目：1）修改和更新了整个课程； 2) 将两个 STOP HEP C 培训模块改编为 CAI 脚本； 2) 召集专家顾问小组评估 CAI 脚本； 3) 开发了两个模块的自我指导原型：一个互动性有限的介绍性模块和一个为无毒治疗提供者 (DFTP) 或美沙酮维持治疗提供者 (MMTP) 单独定制的高级高度互动模块； 4）通过定性和定量数据分析，以潜在消费者为样本评估原型的学习有效性。该 CAI 将优于其他目前可用的 HCV 培训，因为它将提供有关健康沟通策略的信息；使辅导员能够获得辅导认证学分；易于获取、具有成本效益且可自定进度；提供反映个别咨询师工作治疗方式的定制信息；通过信息的交互式呈现，增强对材料的理解和记忆。已完成的 CAI 的商业化将受益于为成瘾咨询师提供服务的地区和国家协会以及在营销医疗服务提供者培训和 CAI 产品方面拥有专业知识的企业的可靠支持。除了向这些企业和协会的广泛邮件列表发送产品手册，并在其高曝光率的网站上投放广告外，我们还将通过在全国成瘾提供者会议上展示 CAI 来营销 CAI。公共卫生相关性：为了更有效地满足全美数千名成瘾咨询师对丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 信息和健康沟通技能的需求，该项目旨在采用有效、经过认证、由培训师提供的 HCV 培训（“ STOP HEP C 培训”）为成瘾咨询师提供互动、定制、自定进度、易于访问、经过认证、基于网络的计算机辅助教学 (CAI) 计划。鉴于美国 400 万 HCV 感染者（数量是 HIV 的 4 倍）中的大多数是前吸毒者或当前吸毒者，他们往往缺乏急需的医疗支持，因此成瘾咨询师迫切需要这些信息和技能。他们的社区。该 CAI 将优于其他目前可用的 HCV 培训，因为它将提供有关健康沟通策略的信息；使辅导员能够获得辅导认证学分；易于获取、具有成本效益、可自定进度；提供反映个别辅导员工作治疗方式的定制信息；通过信息的交互式呈现，增强对材料的理解和记忆。
