DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): At least 7.5 million people with intellectual disabilities (ID) most with mild disabilities, live in the U.S. As our service delivery system evolves, emphasis has shifted from providing services based on I.Q., to a classification system focused on functional ability identifying the minimum external supports necessary for people with ID (i.e., mental retardation) to survive on their own. The unintended consequence of this shift is that many young adults with mild and moderate ID are at increased risk of falling through the cracks. Due to a lack of social competency, awareness, and social support, they are at increased risk of involvement in behaviors and activities that could result in harm (e.g., substance abuse, crime). Substance abuse and crime prevention training has not been adequately addressed for this vulnerable population Phase II will expand on the work accomplished during development of the Phase I R-SAC prototype (i.e., Refuse-Substance, Alcohol, Crime), and create a series of three interactive DVD programs for young adults with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities (ID). Tailored by sex and content mastery, the repeat-visit programs will address issues and concerns faced by young adults with ID, who are developing into autonomous citizens, with the same rights and risks as you and I. The R-SAC program series, commercially titled 1) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Alcohol Misuse; 2) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Substance Abuse; and 3) Staying Out of Harm's Way: Strategies for Avoiding Crimes and the People who Commit Them, will 1) provide knowledge about legal aspects and potential harm related to alcohol abuse, illicit substances, and antisocial or criminal behavior; 2) teach an observation strategy (i.e., Stop-Look-Listen) using examples specific to each program's focus (e.g., substances-program one; alcohol- program two; antisocial behavior-program three); 3) model an array of avoidance and refusal strategies using examples specific to that program's content, and finally, 4) provide practice scenarios, requiring program users to integrate knowledge and observation skills and successfully apply refusal strategies to real-time video-based on-screen simulations portraying peer pressure to engage in harmful activities. Each of the final R-SAC interactive products (i.e., three interactive DVDs) will branch into one of three complete programs (i.e., male program, female program, step-down remedial program). Each branch will be approximately the size of our prototype program (671.5 MB) or slightly larger, and the typical CD-ROM holds about 700 MB. As such, the final products will be produced as hybrid PC/Mac programs, housed on DVD- ROM, creating a truly self-directed, stand-alone learning experience appropriate for program users with mild and moderate ID. A niche analysis, conducted by Foresight Science and Technology, indicates high social value, high interest, low competition, and high sales potentials for a program series of this type.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着我们的服务交付系统的发展，至少有750万患有轻度残疾的智障人士（ID），生活在美国，重点已从基于I.Q.提供服务，转变为分类系统，专注于功能性功能能力，以确定具有ID的最低外部支持的功能能力，以识别ID的最低限度支持（即精神迟缓），以使其自身生存下来。这种转变的意外后果是，许多具有轻度和中等ID的年轻人在裂缝中跌落的风险增加。由于缺乏社会能力，意识和社会支持，它们的风险增加了可能导致伤害的行为和活动的风险（例如，滥用药物，犯罪）。对于这一脆弱人群的II阶段，尚未对药物滥用和预防犯罪培训进行充分解决，这将扩大I阶段I阶段R-SAC原型的开发（即拒绝 - 替代，酒精，犯罪）的开发，并为有轻度和中等智力的年轻人（ID）创建一系列三个互动DVD计划（ID）。重复访问的计划是根据性别和内容精通量身定制的，将解决具有ID的年轻人所面临的问题和关注，他们正在发展成为自主公民，具有与您和I的权利和风险相同的权利和风险。 2）远离伤害：避免滥用药物的策略； 3）避免危害：避免犯罪的策略和犯罪者的策略。 2）使用针对每个程序的焦点（例如，物质编程一；饮酒二；反社会行为序列三）来教授观察策略（即停止景观）； 3）使用该程序内容特定的示例进行模拟一系列的回避和拒绝策略，最后，4）提供实践场景，要求计划用户整合知识和观察技能，并成功地将拒绝策略应用于基于实时视频的屏幕上的屏幕模拟，描绘了扮演同伴的压力，以参与有害活动。每种最终的R-SAC交互式产品（即三个交互式DVD）将分为三个完整程序之一（即男性计划，女性计划，逐步补救计划）。每个分支大约是我们原型程序（671.5 MB）或稍大的大小，并且典型的CD-ROM可容纳约700 MB。因此，最终产品将作为Hybrid PC/Mac程序生产，该程序包含在DVD-ROM上，创造了一种真正的自我指导，独立的学习体验，适用于具有温和和中等ID的计划使用者。由远见科学技术进行的利基分析表明，这种类型的计划系列的社会价值，高兴趣，低竞争和高销售潜力。
