 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（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的总体目标是利用广泛传播的基础酒精和其他药物使用预防课程来创建一个移动版本，以增强参与度并促进学习到课堂外决策的转移。 REAL Prevention (RP) 是一家由三个企业合作组成的有限责任公司，致力于创新性地使用技术来预防酒精，RP 的传播专业知识是设计叙事。基础预防RP 正在与 Verasim (VS) 和 D.A.R.E America 合作，Verasim (VS) 是一家专门开发增强现实 (AR) 方法以利用技术动员健康干预措施的公司，D.A.R.E America 是最大的学校酒精和其他产品供应商之一。药物预防教育，旨在创造预防青少年药物滥用的现代移动学习体验。第一阶段 SBIR 将展示提供五年级 keepin' it REAL (kiR) 社交和学习移动版本的可行性。使用 VS 的 3-D 专有 AR 技术开发情感发展和酒精预防课程，并创建一种新颖的现实世界决策工具，用于课堂内外的指导决策和风险评估。该产品利用增强现实来跟踪学习到环境的转移。在课堂之外，美国青少年饮酒的比例相对较高，会造成严重后果，例如终生成瘾的风险增加以及随之而来的其他不利的身心健康结果，这凸显了在儿童晚期和早期实施基于证据的努力的重要性。青春期要预防青春期该项目将开发 5 级 EkiR Mobile 技术的原型，对 EkiR Mobile 进行试点测试并根据需要进行修改，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修改 EkiR mobile 的计划。在第二阶段，将在美国各地的 D.A.R.E. 教室进行全国性随机对照试验，以验证其有效性。鉴于国际组织对 kiR 的使用，该项目的商业潜力将非常巨大。 仅 D.A.R.E. 的影响力就覆盖了 250 万青少年。
