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).

长期目标是与从事研究工作的教师一起发展研究 研究，以满足少数族裔/种族（E/RM）研究的需求 ADM 最初强调心理健康和社会工作，源于 (1) 夏威夷大学马诺阿分校 (UHM) 倡议充当这项研究 亚洲/太平洋地区中心； (二)社会工作专业的需求 与 E/RM 团体一起建立社会工作理论领域 心理健康。 具体目标是提高能力 夏威夷大学社会工作学院 (UHSSW)，通过一贯的、 统一、连贯、发展的流程，进行严格的ADM研究； 加强、发展、扩大 ADM 研究；提供相关的药物滥用情况 研究;测试生态方法的有效性 ADM 的发展和与相关的特定 E/RM 心理健康研究 与这些群体进行社会工作实践；提供一个逻辑连贯的系统 E/RM 社会理论的初步发展的命题 工作;通过一系列的考虑 E/RM 诊断类别系统 会议，最初将与亚洲/太平洋地区女性治疗师举行；提高 UHSSW 的夏威夷 ADMHA-MARC 项目。 为了实现这些具体目标， 已制定以下方案： (1) 为双方提供学徒计划 拟议的 MIRDP 教师、他们的学生研究助理/导师 (2) 四个拟议的研究子项目由教师进行 参加他们的学徒研究计划。 调查人员 提议研究压力与心理健康之间的特定文化关系 因素。 尽管特定的种族群体和压力来源不同 在每项研究中，所有研究人员都关注了以下问题： 项目构建和审查规范以制定合理的心理测量 适合跨种族研究的测量设备。 谦虚的 探索性试点项目的目标是： 描述和确定 个体 E/RM 对衰老的适应（Browne）；识别压力源并 夏威夷华裔美国儿童的应对行为（Fong）；原因和 经济变化与农村生活质量的影响模式 夏威夷社区（松冈）；完善选定的工具以反映 准确地了解原住民的压力、心理健康和应对策略 夏威夷人和萨摩亚人（Mokuau）。
