项目摘要

Abstract: Overall RCMAR We propose the Chicago Asian RCMAR to advance careers of investigators from underrepresented populations through translational trauma and resilience research amongst one of the most understudied, yet fastest growing populations in the U.S.: Asian American older adults. Such an important focus in research, population and investigators will inform both practice and policy at community, regional and national levels. Asians are the fastest growing yet most understudied US minority group at 21 million people and growing 56% from 2000-2013. Yet, < 1% of NIH research funding in the last 10 years were focused on US Asian populations, with only 3-5 total funded NIH grants/yr that focus on US Asian older adults. Moreover, this population experiences the “Asian Paradox”: while on average, US Asians, are the highest-income earners and the most highly-educated, more Asians, especially older adults, live below the poverty line, are less likely to participate in biomedical research, and suffer disproportional health disparities compared to white Americans. These health inequities are further complicated by the heterogeneity of these immigrant populations, especially with respect to culture, religion, language, sexual identity, and trauma exposure, many of which challenge our assumptions about the “model minority” stereotype. Such exposures and heterogeneities lead to isolation and further removal from opportunities to participate in research, thus restricting benefits conferred from population level research. However, despite this diversity, there are unifying themes across Asian cultures with regard to shared experiences of immigration, trauma, strong family bonds, cultural values and expectations, and the intergenerational nature of the aging process. Building on two decades of rigorous aging research in minority populations and track records of successful academic achievements, we have leveraged strong existing transdisciplinary partnerships across multiple academic and community institutions to build a center designed to foster the next generation of diverse researchers in a nurturing environment that is conducive to success and promotes highly relevant and rigorous trauma, resilience and health outcomes research among Asian American older adults. We propose the following scientific lines of inquiry: 1) Understand the cross-ethnic variations in the social, cultural, and behavioral mechanisms of trauma and stress across Asian populations; 2) Explore the potential differential health outcomes associated with trauma, immigration, and mechanisms of resilience in ameliorating adverse consequences among Asian populations; and 3) Build institutional and community capacity that tests and adapts and implements evidence based behavioral change strategies to prevent and treat trauma, promote resilience, and mitigate the effect of stressful events in Asian aging populations. The overall aims of the application reflect the synergistic work of Administrative (AC), Research Education (REC), Measurement and Analysis (AnC) and Community Liaison & Recruitment (CLRC) Cores.

摘要：总体RCMAR 我们建议芝加哥亚洲RCMAR从代表性不足，人口通过翻译创伤和复原力研究其中一个最不足的，但美国人口增长最快的地区亚裔美国老年人如此重要的焦点，研究、人口和调查人员将为社区、区域和国家的实践和政策提供信息。程度.亚洲人是增长最快但研究最少的美国少数族裔群体，有2100万人，从2000年到2013年增长了56%。然而，在过去10年中，NIH研究资金的不到1%集中在美国。亚洲人群，每年只有3-5项NIH资助的研究经费用于研究美国亚洲老年人。而且这美国人口经历了“亚裔Parkman”：平均而言，美国亚裔是收入最高的人，而受教育程度最高的亚洲人，尤其是老年人，生活在贫困线以下的可能性较小，参与生物医学研究，与白色人相比，美国人这些移民的异质性使这些卫生不公平现象进一步复杂化。特别是在文化、宗教、语言、性别认同和创伤暴露方面，这些挑战了我们对“模范少数族裔”的刻板印象。这种风险暴露和异质性导致孤立和进一步剥夺参与研究的机会，限制了人口水平研究带来的好处。然而，尽管存在这种多样性，跨亚洲文化的主题，涉及移民，创伤，强大的家庭纽带，文化价值观和期望，以及老龄化过程的代际性质。在对少数民族人口进行了20年严格的老龄化研究以及成功的学术成就，我们已经利用强大的跨学科合作伙伴关系，多个学术和社区机构建立一个中心，旨在培养下一代的多元化的研究人员在一个培育环境，有利于成功，并促进高度相关，严格的创伤，弹性和健康结果的研究在亚裔美国老年人。我们提出以下科学调查路线：1）了解社会，文化和文化方面的跨种族差异，亚洲人群创伤和压力的行为机制; 2）探索潜在的差异与创伤、移民和改善不利影响的恢复力机制相关的健康结果亚洲人口中的后果;以及3）建设机构和社区能力，以测试和适应并实施基于证据的行为改变策略，以预防和治疗创伤，促进恢复力，并减轻亚洲老龄化人口中压力事件的影响。的总体目标应用反映了行政（AC），研究教育（REC），测量和分析（AnC）和社区联络和招募（CLRC）核心。
