DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Westchester Square Partnership. This proposal describes a community-based participatory research project that will focus on common mental disorder (CMD) among women in a Bangladeshi community in the Bronx. Studies of South Asian diasporic communities report high levels of distress, depression, and self harm among women, along with very low rates of service utilization. Evidence suggests that low service use may be related to the lack of conceptual synchrony between standard psychiatric treatments and explanatory models of mental illness in the community. The proposed CBPR project will develop a community partnership to address the problem of CMD in Bronx Bangladeshi women. The goal is to develop an intervention model that synchronizes with women's perceptions of illness and care. The project planning group consists of researchers, clinical service providers, and a community service organization serving South Asians in New York City. We will recruit 10 Bangladeshi women from the community as partners. The study will focus on several related tasks: 1) developing the partnership, 2) conceptualizing the problem to be investigated; 3) conducting an assessment of community needs and assets; 4) choosing an intervention to address the problem; 5) evaluating the partnership, and 6) developing a community advisory board. Towards the end of the 2-year project period, we will develop an R01 application to implement and test the intervention selected in this preliminary study.

描述（由申请人提供）：韦斯特切斯特广场合作伙伴关系。该提案描述了一个以社区为基础的参与性研究项目，该项目将重点关注布朗克斯孟加拉社区妇女中的常见精神障碍。对南亚散居社区的研究报告说，妇女的痛苦、抑郁和自我伤害程度很高，沿着的是服务利用率很低。有证据表明，服务使用率低可能与标准精神病治疗和社区精神疾病解释模型之间缺乏概念同步有关。拟议的CBPR项目将发展社区伙伴关系，以解决布朗克斯孟加拉国妇女的CMD问题。目标是制定一种干预模式，以符合妇女对疾病和护理的看法。该项目规划小组由研究人员、临床服务提供者和一个为纽约市南亚人服务的社区服务组织组成。我们将从社区招募10名孟加拉国妇女作为合作伙伴。这项研究将侧重于几个相关的任务：1）发展伙伴关系，2）概念化的问题进行调查，3）进行社区需求和资产的评估，4）选择干预措施来解决问题，5）评估伙伴关系，和6）发展一个社区咨询委员会。在为期2年的项目期结束时，我们将开发R01应用程序，以实施和测试本初步研究中选择的干预措施。
