MINORITY INSTITUTIONS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT - SOCIAL WORK

长期目标是沿着从事研究的教师 研究，以满足少数民族/种族（E/RM）研究的需要， 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）的倡议，作为研究 亚太地区的中心;（2）社会工作专业的需求 建立一个理论领域的社会工作与E/RM集团， 心理健康 具体目标是提高 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，进行严谨的ADM研究; 加强、发展、扩大ADM研究;提供有关药物滥用 研究;测试生态方法的实用性， ADM和特定E/RM心理健康研究的发展， 社会工作实践与这些群体;提供一个逻辑上连贯的系统 一个开始发展的E/RM社会理论的命题 工作;考虑通过一系列的E/RM诊断类别系统， 会议，最初将与亚洲/太平洋女医师举行;加强 UHSSW的夏威夷ADMHA-MARC项目。 为了实现这些具体目标， 已经制定了以下内容：（1）为两个国家的 建议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进行的教师，因为他们 参加他们的学徒研究项目 调查人员 建议研究压力与心理健康之间的文化特异性关系 因素 尽管不同的种族和压力来源不同， 在每项研究中，所有研究人员都注意到了以下问题： 心理测量学健全发展的项目建设与评价指标 测量设备，适用于跨种族研究。 的适度 探索性试点项目的目标是： 个人E/RM适应老化（布朗）;识别压力源， 夏威夷华裔儿童的应对行为;原因和 经济变化与农村居民生活质量之间影响模式 夏威夷社区（松冈）;完善选定的文书，以反映 准确地说，压力，心理健康和应对策略的土著 夏威夷人和萨摩亚人（Mokuau）。

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).
