DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Fourth International Conference on Urban Health will facilitate an exchange of ideas about the physical and social environments of cities and health service. The conference will take place October 26-28, 2005 in Toronto, Canada. We encourage participation from anyone interested in urban health, including researchers, clinicians, community-based organizations, and government agencies, among others. Through a drug abuse track, we propose to showcase current research on substance abuse in urban environments/populations and applied aspects of NIDA's research portfolio in an effort to showcase potentially internationally applicable models of research-to-practice collaborations for urban setting. Likewise, aspects of cities are considered to contribute to mental health affects, (e.g., cities are stressful for many residents, possibly contributing to mental illness), yet cities offer many support services and social structures that can be preventive or therapeutic for mental illness. As such, we are requesting approximately $60,000 to fund the following drug abuse and mental health research components of the program: 1) Plenary speakers on drug abuse and mental health research 2) Concurrent sessions on drug abuse and mental health research 3) Poster sessions focused on drug abuse and mental health research 4) Publication of special Journal of Urban Health that will include featured articles and poster abstracts on drug abuse and mental health research The goal of the conference is to foster an international research group to collectively improve the understanding of the common health risks faced by urban residents, and to influence the development of effective public health interventions across the globe. We have now held three prior conferences that have been well attended and look forward to continuing this series. The tracks on drug abuse and mental health have been present in earlier meetings and are critical parts of this effort. These tracks will help to foster interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in each of these areas among attendees who are interested in how urban settings play a role in drug abuse and impact mental health and how features of urban settings may lend themselves to interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）： 第四次国际城市卫生会议将促进就城市的物质和社会环境以及卫生服务交换意见。会议将于2005年10月26日至28日在加拿大多伦多举行。我们鼓励任何对城市健康感兴趣的人参与，包括研究人员，临床医生，社区组织和政府机构等。通过药物滥用的轨道，我们建议展示目前的研究药物滥用在城市环境/人口和NIDA的研究组合的应用方面，努力展示潜在的国际适用的研究模式，以实践合作的城市环境。同样，城市的各个方面也被认为是对心理健康产生影响的因素（例如，城市给许多居民带来压力，可能导致精神疾病），但城市提供了许多支助服务和社会结构，可以预防或治疗精神疾病。因此，我们要求大约60，000美元资助该计划的以下药物滥用和心理健康研究部分：1）关于药物滥用和心理健康研究的全体发言人2）关于药物滥用和心理健康研究的并行会议3）以药物滥用和心理健康研究为重点的海报会议4）出版《城市卫生》专刊，其中将包括关于药物滥用和精神卫生研究的专题文章和海报摘要。城市居民面临的健康风险，并影响地球仪有效公共卫生干预措施的发展。我们现在已经举行了三次会议，参加人数很多，并期待着继续这一系列会议。药物滥用和精神健康问题的轨道已在以前的会议上提出，是这项努力的关键部分。这些轨道将有助于促进研究人员在这些领域中的每一个与会者之间的跨学科合作，这些与会者对城市环境如何在药物滥用中发挥作用和影响心理健康以及城市环境的特征如何有助于干预措施感兴趣。
