项目摘要

KDH Research & Communication (KDHRC) submits this Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) application to expand and fully evaluate Cochlear Implant University (CIU). CIU is an online, self- advocacy skills-building resource for high school and college students with cochlear implants (CIs) aged 16-21 and their parents. CIU seeks to develop high school and college students’ self-advocacy knowledge and skills to support a successful academic and social transition into higher education. The need for CIU is great. Increasing numbers of students with cochlear implants are entering higher education and experience myriad academic and social challenges compared to their hearing peers. These challenges in turn predict higher risk for dropout rates, poor academic and social outcomes, and may lead to underemployment or unemployment. There is a lack of self-advocacy programs specific to students with CIs and the higher education transition. To address this gap and to meet calls to action for evidence-based programs to help students develop a core set of self-advocacy skills to support a successful higher education transition, KDHRC developed and evaluated the CIU prototype. In collaboration with the AG Bell, our Phase I efforts yielded a strong prototype with supportive feasibility results and solid partnerships on which we base our Phase II approach. Leading hearing loss advocacy organizations, Alexander Graham Bell Association (AG Bell) and the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), provide support for evaluation, recruitment, and commercialization of the finished program throughout Phase II and beyond. In Phase II, we will develop additional interactive content, film video vignettes, and finalize CIU. Then, we will conduct a well-powered and methodologically strong four-week, three-condition controlled randomized trial to test CIU’s effectiveness. Our market research suggests a significant need and eager market, and support from myriad stakeholders committed to CIU scientific rigor and rapid dissemination further substantiate CIU’s importance and commercial potential.

KDH 研究与传播 (KDHRC) 提交了第二阶段小型企业创新研究用于扩展和全面评估人工耳蜗大学 (CIU) 的 (SBIR) 应用程序是一个在线、自助的应用程序。为 16-21 岁植入人工耳蜗 (CI) 的高中生和大学生提供宣传技能建设资源 CIU 致力于培养高中生和大学生的自我倡导知识和技能，支持学术和社会向高等教育的成功过渡。越来越多的植入人工耳蜗的学生进入高等院校，对 CIU 的需求很大。与听力正常的同龄人相比，他们接受了教育并经历了无数的学术和社会挑战。挑战反过来预示着更高的辍学率风险、较差的学业和社会成果，并可能导致就业不足或失业缺乏专门针对 CI 学生的自我倡导计划。以及高等教育转型，以解决这一差距并满足采取行动的呼吁。帮助学生发展一套核心自我倡导技能的计划，以支持成功的高等教育在过渡期间，KDHRC 与我们的第一阶段 AG Bell 合作开发并评估了 CIU 原型。产生了一个强大的原型，并提供了支持性的努力、可行性结果以及我们所依赖的牢固的合作伙伴关系我们的第二阶段方法。领先的听力损失倡导组织，亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔协会 (AG) Bell）和美国听力损失协会（HLAA），为评估、招募和听力损失提供支持在第二阶段及之后完成的项目的商业化。在第二阶段，我们将开发更多的互动内容、电影视频片段，并最终确定 CIU。将进行为期 4 周、三种条件对照的、强有力的、方法论上强有力的随机测试 CIU 有效性的试验表明存在巨大的需求和迫切的市场以及支持。来自众多致力于 CIU 科学严谨性的利益相关者的成果和快速传播进一步证实了 CIU 的重要性和商业潜力。
