 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the proposed project is to leverage a widely disseminated elementary alcohol and other drug use prevention curriculum to create a mobile version that enhances engagement and promotes transfer of learning to out of class decisions. The project represents a collaboration among three businesses dedicated to innovative use of technology for alcohol prevention. REAL Prevention (RP), the lead business, is a LLC dedicated to commercializing innovative technologies for delivering evidence-based health promotion practices. RP's communication expertise is in designing narrative-based prevention interventions to engage youth audiences. RP is partnering with Verasim (VS), a company specializing in developing Augmented Reality (AR) approaches to mobilizing health interventions using technology, and with D.A.R.E. America, one of the largest providers of school-based alcohol and other drug prevention education, to create a modern and mobile learning experience for preventing youth substance use. This Phase I SBIR will demonstrate the feasibility of delivering a mobile version of the 5th grade keepin' it REAL (kiR) social and emotional development and alcohol prevention curriculum using VS's 3-D proprietary AR technology and create a novel real-world decision making tool for guided decision making and risk assessment within and beyond the classroom. This product leverages Augmented Reality to track the transfer of learning to environments outside of the classroom. The relatively high prevalence of adolescent alcohol use in the U.S. with severe consequences such as increased risk of lifetime addiction and other attendant adverse physical and mental health outcomes, underscores the importance of implementing evidence-based efforts in late childhood and early adolescence to prevent adolescent alcohol use. This project will develop a prototype of the 5th grade EkiR Mobile technology, pilot test EkiR Mobile and revise as needed, conduct an independent usability evaluation of the product to determine feasibility, and develop a plan for revising EkiR mobile based on these assessments. In Phase II a national RCT will be conducted in D.A.R.E. classrooms across the United States to establish effectiveness. If successful, the commercial potential of the project is great given the use of kiR by organizations internationally. D.A.R.E.'s reach, alone, is 2.5 million youth.

 描述（由适用提供）：拟议项目的总体目标是利用广泛传播的基本酒精和其他药物使用预防课程来创建移动版本，以增强参与度并促进学习转移到课堂决策。该项目代表了专门用于预防酒精的创新使用技术的三个业务之间的合作。主要预防（RP）是主要的LLC，是一家致力于RP的传播专家的LLC，正在设计基于叙事的预防干预措施以吸引青年受众。 RP与Verasim（VS）合作，该公司专门开发增强现实（AR）方法，以技术动员健康干预措施，并与D.A.R.E.美国是学校酒精和其他预防毒品教育的最大提供者之一，是为预防青年吸毒的现代和移动学习经验。 I阶段I SBIR将证明使用VS的3-D专有AR技术提供了5年级的移动版本的社交和情感发展和酒精预防课程，并创建了一种新颖的现实世界决策工具，以在课堂内外建立指导性决策和风险评估。该产品利用增强现实来跟踪学习向教室外环境的转移。在美国，青少年饮酒的相对高度患病率严重后果，例如增加终生成瘾的风险和其他不利的身体和心理健康状况，这强调了在儿童晚期和早期青少年酒精饮酒中实施基于证据的努力的重要性。该项目将开发5年级Ekir移动技术，试点测试Ekir移动和修订的原型，对产品进行独立的可用性评估，以确定可行性，并根据这些评估制定了修改EKIR移动的计划。在第二阶段，将在D.A.R.E.进行国家RCT。在美国各地建立有效性的教室。如果成功的话，鉴于组织在国际上使用了KIR，该项目的商业潜力很大。 D.A.R.E.的覆盖范围仅是250万年轻人。
