DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the proposed award is to develop the candidate's expertise as a researcher, educator, and clinician in as an alcohol use disorders (AUDs) with specialization in treatment outcome studies of co-morbid AUD's and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in underserved populations. The stated objectives will be achieved by means of a structured training plan, including relevant coursework and consultation with leading experts in the fields of AUD's and PTSD. In the general population, as many as 1/3 of women and 50% of women seen in primary care report having experienced abuse by an intimate partner. The consequences of having experienced intimate partner violence are alarming. Female IPV victims represent one of the largest traumatized populations in the U.S. Unfortunately, leaving an abusive relationship does not necessarily put an end to the distress experienced by IPV victims. More than 60% of women who present to domestic violence shelters meet criteria for PTSD. IPV victims are more likely than non-victimized women to have problems with alcohol. Yet, treatments for victims of partner violence with co-morbid AUD's and PTSD are lacking. The current proposal is for treatment development followed by a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to compare 24 sessions of the new intervention to a supportive care control group in 106 female victims of partner violence. This training program will assist the candidate in making the transition to independent investigator at the University of California, San Diego, and provide the foundation for a long-term research program focused on the integrated treatment of AUDs and PTSD in underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议奖项的目的是培养候选人作为酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 领域的研究人员、教育者和临床医生的专业知识，专门从事服务不足人群中共病 AUD 和创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 的治疗结果研究。上述目标将通过结构化培训计划来实现，包括相关课程以及与 AUD 和 PTSD 领域领先专家的咨询。在普通人群中，多达 1/3 的女性和 50% 接受初级保健的女性表示曾遭受过亲密伴侣的虐待。经历亲密伴侣暴力的后果令人震惊。女性 IPV 受害者是美国受创伤最多的人群之一。不幸的是，离开虐待关系并不一定能结束 IPV 受害者所经历的痛苦。超过 60% 前往家庭暴力庇护所的妇女符合 PTSD 的标准。 IPV 受害者比未受害女性更有可能出现酗酒问题。然而，对于患有 AUD 和 PTSD 共病的伴侣暴力受害者的治疗却很缺乏。目前的建议是开发治疗方法，然后进行一项试点随机对照试验，旨在将新干预措施的 24 次疗程与支持性护理对照组的 106 名伴侣暴力女性受害者进行比较。该培训计划将帮助候选人过渡为加州大学圣地亚哥分校的独立研究者，并为长期研究计划奠定基础，该研究计划重点关注服务不足人群中 AUD 和 PTSD 的综合治疗。
