项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This STTR Phase II application is to finalize the one-of-its-kind Assessment of Liability and Exposure to Substance use and antisocial behavior(c) (ALEXSA(c)) for educator, pediatric, prevention and epidemiology uses. The ALEXSA system, first funded by a NIDA K-Award, acquires child-report (8- to 13-year-olds) data using an illustrated, computer format that is enjoyable and can be completed by illiterate youth. Nine risk domains (factor scores) and over 40 risk factor subscales canbeusedtomeasure liability to, and early forms of, problematic substance use (SU) and chronic behavior problems. The ALEXSA can be administered by child care professionals to groups of children or individuals. It is unique among child-report assessments in developmental appropriateness, breadth of characteristics measured, flexibility for tailored assessment, user-friendliness, and utility for research and intervention. The ALEXSA offers customers a format perceived by youth to have greater confidentiality than paper forms, automated data storage, and scores immediately upon completion (e.g., for screening and referral to intervention). Among ALEXSA's psychometric properties is a brief screen with an overall 85% predictive accuracy of SU one-year later among high-risk youth younger than 12 years old. This screen thus detects youth at high risk for substance use disorder long before its onset providing long-term opportunity for prevention. Phase I work developed a highly portable net book version and a PDA screen version of the ALEXSA. Phase II efforts will refine the ALEXSA using sophisticated methods and an extensive evaluation to enable in-depth clinical assessment of individuals (akin to IQ tests). ALEXSA scoring will be standardized to the U.S. general population. ALEXSA system products will be tailored to the needs of specific professions based on expert reviews. User's Manuals will be created. All products will be refined to be publish-quality. Collectively, this augmentation of the innovative ALEXSA research instrument into a tool that provides state-of-the-art assessment will assist professionalism meeting mandates for 6 million annual early intervention services and SU/SUD risk screenings by over 93,000 behavioral health professionals, over 150,000 primary care physicians and 41,000 school psychologists. The ALEXSA's innovative features, broad and evidence-based subscales and scores, and psychometric properties will permit it to fill gaps in several large niche markets and create barriers to potential competitors.

说明（由申请人提供）：本 STTR 第二阶段申请旨在最终确定针对教育工作者、儿科、预防和保健人员的物质使用和反社会行为责任和暴露 (c) (ALEXSA(c)) 的独一无二的评估。流行病学用途。 ALEXSA 系统首先由 NIDA K 奖资助，使用图文并茂的计算机格式获取儿童报告（8 至 13 岁）数据，该格式有趣且可由文盲青少年完成。九个风险领域（因素评分）和 40 多个风险因素子量表可用于衡量有问题的药物使用 (SU) 和慢性行为问题的责任及其早期形式。 ALEXSA 可由儿童保育专业人员对儿童群体或个人进行管理。它在发展适宜性、测量特征的广度、定制评估的灵活性、用户友好性以及研究和干预的实用性方面在儿童报告评估中是独一无二的。 ALEXSA 为客户提供了一种被年轻人认为比纸质表格具有更高保密性的格式、自动数据存储以及完成后立即评分（例如，用于筛查和转介干预）。 ALEXSA 的心理测量特性之一是对 12 岁以下高危青少年进行简短筛查，一年后 SU 的总体预测准确度为 85%。因此，该筛查可以在物质使用障碍发病之前很久就发现其高风险青少年，从而提供长期的预防机会。第一阶段的工作开发了高度便携的上网本版本和PDA屏幕版本的ALEXSA。第二阶段的工作将使用复杂的方法和广泛的评估来完善 ALEXSA，以实现对个人的深入临床评估（类似于智商测试）。 ALEXSA 评分将针对美国普通人群进行标准化。 ALEXSA系统产品将根据专家评审，针对特定职业的需求进行量身定制。将创建用户手册。所有产品都将经过改进以达到发布质量。总的来说，这种增强将创新的 ALEXSA 研究工具转变为提供最先进评估的工具，将有助于专业精神满足每年 600 万次早期干预服务的要求，以及由超过 93,000 名行为健康专业人员、超过 150,000 名初级保健医生和 41,000 所学校进行的 SU/SUD 风险筛查心理学家。 ALEXSA 的创新功能、广泛且基于证据的子量表和分数以及心理测量特性将使其能够填补几个大型利基市场的空白，并为潜在竞争对手设置障碍。
