DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Reducing death and disability caused by alcohol-related intentional and non-intentional injuries is a major world-wide health goal for the World Health Organization. Alcohol use has been linked with a substantial proportion of injuries and deaths from motor vehicle crashes, falls, and fires. In Poland and other Eastern European countries that have been experiencing rapid social and cultural changes, problems related to extremely high per capita alcohol consumption and the rising rate of alcohol-related injury have become critically important national concerns. Injury and trauma constitute the third leading cause of death in Poland, with a preponderance of alcohol-related mortality. Developing an infrastructure to expand the capacity for injury and alcohol research and prevention in Poland will address an escalating public health problem that has the potential for devastating health and economic consequences to this region over the next decades. To accomplish this goal, a multi-tiered research training program will be established through collaboration among researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) and Wroclaw Medical University (WMU) and several other academic medical settings in Poland. This builds on a successful training and research collaboration between UM and Polish scientists at the Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry, and the Medical College of Warsaw focused on substance use disorders. This new specific injury and alcohol collaboration brings together expertise in alcohol-related injury prevention, EMS/Trauma services, psychiatry, public health, and transportation research at UM with a developing expertise in injury and trauma medicine and public health at WMU in order to increase training and research capacity in Poland. A consortium at Wroclaw Medical University and academic medical and public health locations throughout Poland will be fostered through this collaborative effort. The program will train visiting Polish scientists at the UM in alcohol and injury research methodology, and develop mentored programs of research that address current issues in alcohol and injury prevention, treatment, and evaluation in Poland. The Polish research infrastructure for addressing substance abuse-related injuries will be improved by the provision of an essential core of clinician scientists capable of conducting independent research projects and developing new programming to address this critical issue in emergency medicine and public health. Public Health Relevance: The high levels of per capita alcohol consumption and alcohol-related injuries, combined with a limited research infrastructure to address these issues, present significant public health challenges to Poland and other former Soviet-bloc countries. This proposed training program will develop the capacity for high quality injury and trauma research in Poland that can serve as the core of a region-wide consortium to address a growing, critical health care burden in these developing countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：减少与酒精有关的故意和非故意伤害造成的死亡和残疾是世界卫生组织的一个主要全球卫生目标。酒精的使用与相当大比例的车祸、福尔斯和火灾造成的伤害和死亡有关。在波兰和其他东欧国家，社会和文化正在迅速变化，与极高的人均酒精消费量和与酒精有关的伤害率上升有关的问题已成为国家极为关注的问题。损伤和创伤是波兰第三大死亡原因，与酒精有关的死亡占绝大多数。在波兰发展基础设施，扩大伤害和酒精研究和预防的能力，将解决一个不断升级的公共卫生问题，这个问题有可能在未来几十年对该地区造成毁灭性的健康和经济后果。为了实现这一目标，将通过密歇根大学（UM）和弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学（WMU）以及波兰其他几个学术医疗机构的研究人员之间的合作，建立一个多层次的研究培训计划。这建立在UM和波兰科学家在神经病学和精神病学研究所以及华沙医学院之间成功的培训和研究合作的基础上，专注于物质使用障碍。这种新的特定伤害和酒精合作将UM在酒精相关伤害预防、EMS/创伤服务、精神病学、公共卫生和交通研究方面的专业知识与WMU在伤害和创伤医学和公共卫生方面不断发展的专业知识结合在一起，以提高培训和研究能力在波兰。通过这一合作努力，将在弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学和波兰各地的学术医疗和公共卫生地点建立一个联合会。该计划将培训访问波兰科学家在酒精和伤害研究方法的UM，并制定指导研究方案，解决当前的问题，在酒精和伤害预防，治疗和评估波兰。波兰处理药物滥用相关伤害的研究基础设施将得到改善，办法是提供能够开展独立研究项目和制定新方案以处理急诊医学和公共卫生中这一关键问题的临床科学家核心。公共卫生相关性：人均酒精消费量和酒精相关伤害的高水平，加上解决这些问题的研究基础设施有限，给波兰和其他前苏联集团国家带来了重大的公共卫生挑战。这一拟议的培训计划将发展波兰高质量损伤和创伤研究的能力，可作为区域范围的联盟的核心，以解决这些发展中国家日益增长的关键医疗保健负担。
