RESEARCH TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH STATISTICS

这是一项关于继续进行心理健康统计的请求 哥伦比亚生物统计学部提供的培训计划 大学公共卫生学院。 MHS计划培训统计学家 完成生物统计学博士学位的要求 （博士前研究员）和心理健康研究人员已经持有 博士学位（博士后研究员）。 通过这些互补 我们的目标是促进统计人员之间的合作， 心理健康研究人员和培训统计学家谁将专门 精神病学研究作为一个应用领域。 博士预科研究员学习高级统计学以获得博士学位。或 博士P.H.在生物统计学方面，还接受了精神病学方面的培训 疾病分类学、精神病流行病学和心理测量学。 预计他们 参与精神健康相关项目的合作研究。 博士后研究员通过获得 生物统计学硕士学位。 该计划的这一部分是 专为心理学家、精神病学家、社会学家或流行病学家设计 他们对心理健康问题进行了研究， 在定量方法方面有着非常全面的背景。 博士后 具有较强定量背景的申请人（例如，博士学位 应用数学或数理统计）和对统计的兴趣 遗传学也被邀请申请。 这些申请人可能不需要工作 生物统计学学位;相反，他们从事统计研究 精神病学的应用 他们通过以下方式了解心理健康研究： 参加精神病疾病分类学和结构化评估课程， 参加每周一次的研讨会，并参加心理健康 相关研究项目。 博士后和博士前研究员相互交流， 哥伦比亚大学精神病学流行病学培训项目， 与哥伦比亚精神病学系和纽约 州立精神病研究所 研究的质量和广度 在这些机构进行，为MHS提供了独特的机会 研究员获得心理健康方面的跨学科培训， 统计学，以及统计遗传学。 在17年到21年的每一年，我们要求资助一个博士预科生 研究员和三名博士后研究员。

This is a request for a continuation of the Mental health Statistics (MHS) Training Program offered by the Division of Biostatistics at Columbia university's Sch of Public Health. The MHS program trains statisticians completing the requirements of doctoral degrees in biostatistics (predoctoral fellows) and mental health researchers already holding a doctoral degree (postdoctoral fellows). Through these complementary programs, we aim to facilitate collaboration between statisticians and mental health researchers and to train statisticians who will specialize in psychiatric research as an area of application. Predoctoral fellows study advanced statistics in order to earn the Ph.D. or Dr. P.H. in Biostatistics, and also receive training in psychiatric nosology, psychiatric epidemiology, and psychometrics. They are expected to engage in collaborative research on mental health related projects. Postdoctoral fellows receive training in biostatistics by earning a Master's degree in Biostatistics. This component of the program is designed for psychologist, psychiatrists, sociologists or epidemiologists who have conducted research on mental health problems and who want an unusually thorough background in quantitative methods. Postdoctoral applicants with strong quantitative background (e.g., a doctorate in applied mathematics or mathematical statistics) and interest in statistical genetics are also invited to apply. These applicants may not need to work toward a biostatistics degree; instead they engage in statistical research with psychiatric applications. They learn about mental health research by taking courses in psychiatric nosology and structured assessment, by attending the weekly seminars, and by participating in mental health related research projects. Postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows interact with each other, with fellows of Columbia University's Psychiatric Epidemiology training Program, and with researchers in Columbia's Psychiatry Department and at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. The quality and breadth of the research conducted at these institutions provides a unique opportunity for MHS fellows to obtain interdisciplinary training in mental health and statistics, as well as statistical genetics. In each of years 17 through 21, we request funding for one predoctoral fellow and three postdoctoral fellows.
