While Congress has mandated inclusion of minority groups in NIH funded clinical trials, within NIAAA sponsored trials, disparities in participation of ethnic and minority groups have been identified, and minority enrollment among Hispanics and Asian populations has been recently decreasing. One method of increasing enrollment is to make available to researchers validated measures in non-English languages, and to make the resulting instruments more accessible to participants with lower literacy by providing audio enhancement. To help achieve the goal of increasing the number of minority participants in alcohol-related clinical research, this Phase I study will assess the feasibility of developing a 508 compliant online searchable database of non-English alcohol-related measures that can be accessed via a mobile device application. The feature rich tablet app will increase database use, facilitate selection of and access to non-English measures, and provide a simple easy to use survey creation and administration tool that clinical researchers can use with non-English speaking participants. The tablet app will integrate no-cost access to the database. This feature will help provide researchers, clinicians, and others with a complete set of tools to meet the primary objective of including non-English speaking participants in their alcohol- related research, thereby increasing minority participation, meeting NIH mandates, and perhaps most importantly, expanding the knowledge base about ethnic minority alcohol use.

虽然国会强制要求将少数群体纳入 NIH 资助的临床试验，但在 NIAAA 资助的试验中，已经发现了族裔和少数群体参与的差异，并且西班牙裔和亚裔人口中的少数群体注册人数最近一直在减少。增加入学人数的一种方法是向研究人员提供经过验证的非英语测量方法，并通过提供音频增强功能，使识字率较低的参与者更容易使用最终的工具。为了帮助实现增加酒精相关临床研究中少数族裔参与者数量的目标，这项第一阶段研究将评估开发一个符合 508 标准的在线可搜索非英语酒精相关测量数据库的可行性，该数据库可通过手机访问设备应用程序。功能丰富的平板电脑应用程序将增加数据库的使用，促进非英语测量的选择和访问，并提供简单易用的调查创建和管理工具，临床研究人员可以与非英语参与者一起使用。平板电脑应用程序将集成对数据库的免费访问。此功能将有助于为研究人员、临床医生和其他人提供一整套工具，以实现将非英语参与者纳入酒精相关研究的主要目标，从而增加少数群体的参与，满足 NIH 的要求，也许最重要的是，扩大有关少数民族饮酒的知识库。
