MINORITY INSTITUTIONS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT - SOCIAL WORK

长期目标，与从事研究的教职员工一起发展研究 研究，以满足#年少数族裔(E/RM)研究的需要 ADM最初侧重于心理健康和社会工作，源于(1) 夏威夷大学马诺阿分校(UHM)的倡议作为研究 亚太地区中心；(2)社会工作专业的需要 与E/RM小组一起建立社会工作理论领域 心理健康。具体目标是增加该中心的能力 夏威夷大学社会工作学院，通过一贯的， 统一、连贯、发展的流程，进行严谨的ADM研究； 加强、发展、扩大ADM研究；提供相关药物滥用 研究；测试生态方法对 ADM及其相关的特异性E/RM心理健康研究进展 与这些群体一起进行社会工作实践；提供一个逻辑上连贯的系统 关于E/RM社会理论开始发展的命题 工作；考虑E/RM诊断类别的系统，通过一系列 最初将与亚洲/太平洋地区的女治疗师举行会议；加强 UHSSW夏威夷ADMHA-MARC项目。为了实现这些特定的目标， 已经制定了以下内容：(1)为两个人制定的学徒计划 拟议的MIRDP教员及其学生研究助理/导师(2) 四个拟议的研究子项目由教员进行，因为他们 参加他们的学徒研究计划。调查人员 建议研究压力和心理健康之间的特定文化关系 各种因素。尽管特定的种族和压力来源不同 在每项研究中，所有的研究人员都注意到了 项目结构和复查常模，以发展心理测量学 测量工具，适用于跨种族研究。谦虚的人 试探性项目的目标是：描述和确定 个人E/RM对衰老的适应(布朗)；识别应激源和 夏威夷华裔美国儿童的应对行为(Fong)；原因和 经济变化对农村居民生活质量的影响模式 夏威夷社区(松冈)；精选乐器以反映 原住民的压力、心理健康和应对策略 夏威夷人和萨摩亚人(莫库)。

The long-term objective, to develop research along with faculty engaged in research, to meet the needs of Ethnic/Racial Minority (E/RM) research in ADM with initial emphasis on mental health and social work, stems from (1) University of Hawaii at Manoa's (UHM) initiative to serve as the research center for the Asian/Pacific region; (2) the Social Work profession's need to establish a theoretical sphere for social work with E/RM groups in mental health. The specific aims are to increase the capacity of the University of Hawaii School of Social Work (UHSSW), through consistent, unified, coherent, developmental process, to conduct rigorous ADM research; strengthen, develop, expand ADM research; provide relevant drug abuse research; test the usefulness of the ecological approach for the development of ADM and specific E/RM mental health research related to social work practice with these groups; provide a logically coherent system of propositions for a beginning development of a theory of E/RM social work; consider a system of E/RM diagnostic categories through a series of conferences, to be held initially with Asian/Pacific women healers; enhance the Hawaii ADMHA-MARC program at UHSSW. To accomplish these specific aims, the following have been developed: (1) an apprentice program for both the proposed MIRDP faculty, their student research assistants/supervisee (2) four proposed research sub-projects conducted by the faculty as they participate in their apprentice research program. the investigators propose to study culture-specific relation among stress and mental health factors. Although the particular ethnic group and source of stress differ across each study, all investigators have paid attention to the problems of item construction and reviewed norms to develop psychometrically sound measurement devices, appropriate for cross-ethnic studies. The modest objectives of the exploratory pilot projects are to: describe and identify individual E/RM adaptations to aging (Browne); identify stressors and coping behaviors of Chinese American children in Hawaii (Fong); cause and effect patterns between economic change and quality of life of a rural Hawaiian community (Matsuoka); refine selected instruments to reflect accurately, stress, mental health and coping strategies among Native Hawaiians and Samoans (Mokuau).
