DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this Fast Track application, KDH Research and Communication, Inc. (KDHRC) will develop a school-based, science education curriculum specifically on prescription and over-the-counter (Rx/OTC) drugs, tentatively entitled POP-D (Proper use of Over-the-counter and Prescription Drugs). Because Rx/OTC abuse has many distinctions from illegal drugs, including common motivations for use, innovative tools are needed to stem rising rates of abuse. Therefore, in POP-D, science education approaches will be infused with best practices in prevention to create an innovative model to reach youth. The goal of this theory-based product is to increase accurate knowledge about Rx/OTC drugs, their impact on the body and brain, and effects of abuse. In Phase I, KDHRC will create a prototype of the POP-D curriculum, which will ultimately consist of a Teacher's Guide with interrelated lesson plans, parent materials for a school to conduct an outreach and education on the topic of Rx/OTC prevention, and multimedia materials for 7th and 8th grade youth. A quasi- experimental evaluation of the prototype will be conducted to assess feasibility. In Phase II, we will complete and rigorously evaluate POP-D to determine its ability to change knowledge, attitudes, norms, intentions, and behaviors in participating students. Results of this project will contribute to the literature on best practices in Rx/OTC education and prevention. After finalization of the product in Phase II, the curriculum will be disseminated to schools and communities throughout the United States. In 2005, 2.1 million teens abused prescription drugs (NSDUH, 2006), and research indicates this number will increase due to the wide availability of these drugs and myths about their safety. For instance, 57 percent of teens in a national sample state that prescription pain relievers are easy to get from their parents' medicine cabinets (NSDUH, 2006), and roughly 40 percent of 10 teens state that prescription medicines are safer to use than illegal drugs (PATS, 2006). To date, there are very few resources to educate youth about prescription drugs. Public Health Relevance: The proposed curriculum will contribute to the literature and best practices on this important topic by developing and evaluating a theory-based, science education and prevention curriculum for seventh and eighth grade students, their teachers, and parents.

描述（由申请人提供）：在此快速应用中，KDH Research and Communication，Inc。（KDHRC）将开发一项基于学校的科学教育课程，专门针对处方和非处方药（RX/OTC）药物，暂定为POP-D（正确使用非处方药和处方药）。由于RX/OTC滥用与非法药物有许多区别，包括使用常见的使用动机，因此需要创新的工具来阻止滥用率的提高。因此，在POP-D中，科学教育方法将在预防方面注入最佳实践，以创建一种创新的模型来吸引青年。这种基于理论的产品的目的是增加有关RX/OTC药物的准确知识，它们对身体和大脑的影响以及滥用的影响。在第一阶段，KDHRC将创建POP-D课程的原型，该课程最终将由教师指南组成，其中包括相互关联的课程计划，学校的父母材料，以进行RX/OTC预防主题以及7年级和8年级的多媒体材料进行外展和教育。将对原型进行准确评估以评估可行性。在第二阶段，我们将完成和严格评估POP-D，以确定其改变知识，态度，规范，意图和参与学生的行为的能力。该项目的结果将有助于RX/OTC教育和预防最佳实践的文献。在第二阶段最终确定产品后，该课程将分配给美国各地的学校和社区。在2005年，有210万名青少年滥用了处方药（NSDUH，2006年），研究表明，由于这些药物的广泛供应以及对其安全性的神话，该数字将增加。例如，在全国样本状态下，有57％的青少年很容易从父母的药品柜中获取处方止痛药（NSDUH，2006年），而10名青少年大约有40％的青少年说，处方药比非法药物更安全（Pats，2006年）。迄今为止，很少有资源可以教育年轻人有关处方药的知识。公共卫生相关性：拟议的课程将通过为七年级和八年级的学生，他们的老师和父母开发和评估基于理论的，科学教育和预防课程，为这一重要主题的文献和最佳实践做出贡献。
