DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding for scientific presentations at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) in Hollywood, California. The theme of this meeting is "The Psychobiology of Trauma and Resilience Across the Lifespan." The prevalence of exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) such as child maltreatment, interpersonal violence, crime, disasters, terrorism, and war is high, and exposure is demonstrated to increase risk of several mental disorders including depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. The proposed presentations within the ISTSS Annual Meeting are designed to address several barriers to improved traumatic stress research and clinical practice that include: 1) fragmentation with respect to type of PTE studied; 2) lack of knowledge of findings and implications of traumatic stress research conducted from different perspectives (e.g., behavioral genetics, psychosocial, biological); 3) failure to consider the developmental impact of PTEs experienced at different points in the lifespan; and 4) poor translation of research findings and their implications from traumatic stress researchers to clinical practitioners. Specific aims are to: (1) organize a meeting that will engage academic, practice, and policy audiences in a discussion about the genetic, biological, and psychosocial factors that influence traumatic stress, resilience, and treatment of trauma-related problems in an effort to educate these disparate audiences and to encourage the development of innovative treatment and research; and (2) integrate psychosocial and biological state of the art knowledge to improve scientific knowledge and scientifically informed clinical practice and advocacy. Under the direction of the Co-PIs and a Project Coordinating Committee, approximately 20% of the 2006 Annual Meeting content will be devoted to addressing these issues. Keynote speakers are Drs. Caspi and Moffitt who will highlight behavioral genetic approaches towards using gene x environment factors to understand risk and resilience given exposure to PTEs. Other plenary speakers will address these issues from psychosocial and biological perspectives. Keynote, plenary, and other presentations will be summarized and published on the ISTSS website, and a Special Section on this topic will be published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress. In collaboration with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, special efforts will be made to generate media coverage of research findings and their implications. The coordinating committee will insure that the program committee is diverse with respect to inclusion of women and racial/ethnic groups who are traditionally under represented, similar diversity among speakers. Evaluation will consist of obtaining survey feedback from meeting participants, compiling data on media coverage, and gathering citation data on articles published in the Special Section of JTS.

描述(由申请者提供)：本申请寻求资助在加利福尼亚州好莱坞举行的第22届国际创伤应激研究学会(ISTSS)年会上的科学报告。这次会议的主题是“创伤的心理生物学和生命周期中的韧性”。儿童虐待、人际暴力、犯罪、灾难、恐怖主义和战争等潜在创伤性事件(PTE)的发生率很高，暴露于PTE会增加患抑郁症、PTSD和物质使用障碍等多种精神障碍的风险。在ISTSS年会上的拟议演讲旨在解决改善创伤应激研究和临床实践的几个障碍，包括：1)研究的PTE类型分散；2)缺乏从不同角度(例如，行为遗传学、心理社会、生物学)进行的创伤应激研究的结果和影响的知识；3)未能考虑在生命周期的不同时间点经历的PTE的发展影响；以及4)研究结果及其影响从创伤应激研究人员到临床从业者的糟糕翻译。具体目标是：(1)组织一次会议，让学术、实践和政策受众参与讨论影响创伤应激、复原力和创伤相关问题治疗的遗传、生物和心理社会因素，以努力教育这些不同的受众，并鼓励创新治疗和研究的发展；以及(2)整合心理学和生物学的最新知识，以提高科学知识和获得科学信息的临床实践和倡导。在共同绩效指标和一个项目协调委员会的指导下，2006年年会将有大约20%的内容专门讨论这些问题。主讲人是Caspi博士和Moffitt博士，他们将重点介绍使用基因x环境因素来了解暴露于PTE的风险和弹性的行为遗传学方法。其他全体发言者将从心理、社会和生物学角度讨论这些问题。主旨演讲、全体会议和其他演讲将被总结并发表在ISTSS网站上，关于这一主题的一个特别部分将发表在《创伤应激杂志》上。将与灾难援助队新闻和创伤中心合作，特别努力对研究结果及其影响进行媒体报道。协调委员会将确保方案委员会在吸纳妇女和传统上代表性不足的种族/族裔群体方面具有多样性，发言者之间的多样性类似。评估将包括从与会者那里获得调查反馈，汇编关于媒体报道的数据，并收集在JTS特别部分发表的文章的引文数据。在ISTSS年会上的拟议演讲旨在解决改善创伤应激研究和临床实践的几个障碍，包括：1)研究的PTE类型分散；2)缺乏从不同角度(例如，行为遗传学、心理社会、生物学)进行的创伤应激研究的结果和影响的知识；3)未能考虑在生命周期的不同时间点经历的PTE的发展影响；以及4)研究结果及其影响从创伤应激研究人员到临床从业者的糟糕翻译。具体目标是：(1)组织一次会议，让学术、实践和政策受众参与讨论影响创伤应激、复原力和创伤相关问题治疗的遗传、生物和心理社会因素，以努力教育这些不同的受众，并鼓励创新治疗和研究的发展；以及(2)整合心理学和生物学的最新知识，以提高科学知识和获得科学信息的临床实践和倡导。
