项目摘要

ABSTRACT SIMmersion, in collaboration with Binghamton University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and experts from Brown University, propose to develop a standardized, online assessment tool to evaluate Mental Health Clinicians' (MHCs') Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills related to the treatment of anxiety disorders. The proposed project will utilize SIMmersion's PeopleSim technology to develop a series of Virtual Client Sessions (VCS) that are assessed instantly using the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS). The proposed VCS-CTRS provides an innovative approach to identifying and establishing MHC competence in CBT for anxiety disorders, which are currently the most prevalent and highest costing mental health problem in the US. With assistance from leading experts in CBT for anxiety disorders and coding with the CTRS, Aim 1 will focus on developing six virtual sessions with clients varying in age, race, ethnicity, gender, and diagnosis. Using the 11 skill domains outlined in the CTRS, the development team will create 11 scoring algorithms that will allow the VCS-CTRS to automatically generate a CTRS score each time the tool is used. Leveraging the PeopleSim technology will allow MHCs to experience realistic and varied client responses each time the tool is used. Thus, MHCs can use the tool repeatedly, without ever having the same conversation twice. During Aim 2, the research team will recruit 100 MHCs, from novice to expert levels, who will complete two randomly- selected VCS-CTRS simulations and evaluate their experience. The automatic scores generated by the VCS- CTRS will be compared to observer-rated CTRS scores through review of audio recordings and transcripts of the VCS-CTRS sessions to validate the new automated and standardized assessment tool. During Aim 3, the research team will evaluate the feasibility of using the VCS-CTRS, nationally and internationally, to assess MHC's skills and provide feedback regarding areas in need of further development. Master and doctoral level MHCs (N=300) will be recruited to play the two VCS-CTRS sessions that most closely match their self- identified area of clinical expertise. MHCs scores and product evaluations will be analyzed to examine the practical usability and reach of the VCS-CTRS. If successful, additional sessions can be developed to ensure clients seeking counselling receive quality treatment for a range of mental health problems.

抽象的 SIMmersion 与宾厄姆顿大学、西北大学、芝加哥大学合作，和布朗大学的专家建议开发一个标准化的在线评估工具来评估心理健康临床医生 (MHC) 与焦虑治疗相关的认知行为治疗技能失调。拟议的项目将利用 SIMmersion 的 PeopleSim 技术开发一系列虚拟使用认知治疗评定量表 (CTRS) 立即评估客户会话 (VCS)。这拟议的 VCS-CTRS 提供了一种创新方法来识别和建立 MHC 能力针对焦虑症的 CBT，焦虑症是目前最普遍且成本最高的心理健康问题美国。在焦虑症 CBT 和 CTRS 编码领域领先专家的帮助下，目标 1 将重点与不同年龄、种族、民族、性别和诊断的客户开展六次虚拟会议。使用 CTRS 中概述的 11 个技能领域，开发团队将创建 11 种评分算法将允许 VCS-CTRS 在每次使用该工具时自动生成 CTRS 分数。利用 PeopleSim 技术将使 MHC 在每次使用该工具时都能体验到真实且多样化的客户响应用过的。因此，MHC 可以重复使用该工具，而无需进行两次相同的对话。瞄准期间 2、研究团队将招募100名MHC，从新手到专家级别，他们将随机完成两项—— 选择 VCS-CTRS 模拟并评估他们的经验。 VCS自动生成的分数通过审查录音和笔录，将 CTRS 与观察员评定的 CTRS 分数进行比较 VCS-CTRS 会议来验证新的自动化和标准化评估工具。在目标 3 期间，研究团队将评估在国内和国际上使用 VCS-CTRS 的可行性，以评估 MHC 的技能并提供有关需要进一步发展的领域的反馈。硕士和博士级别将招募 MHC（N = 300）来玩与他们的自我最匹配的两个 VCS-CTRS 会话。确定的临床专业领域。将分析 MHC 分数和产品评估，以检查 VCS-CTRS 的实际可用性和覆盖范围。如果成功，可以召开额外的会议以确保寻求咨询的客户可以获得针对一系列心理健康问题的优质治疗。
