DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY. This revised K23 application will allow Nicole P. Yuan, Ph.D. to develop skills and expertise in the study of alcoholism and violence among Native Americans and other vulnerable populations with emphasis on public health and community-based research methodologies. Dr. Yuan's career development plan includes: 1) completion of the requirements for an M.P.H. degree with a concentration in epidemiology; 2) training in alcohol, genetic, and Native American health epidemiology and research methods; 3) attendance at professional meetings; 4) completion of the research plan; 5) production of empirical papers and presentations; and 6) submission of an R01 grant application. Her mentors include Drs. Mary P. Koss, David Goldman, Kenneth Leonard, Bonnie M. Duran, Yvette Roubideaux, and Mary Z. Mays. Dr. Yuan's research plan consists of three phases: 1) secondary analyses of data from the Ten Tribes Study; 2) pilot study with the tribes; and 3) research collaboration to develop a follow-up study with full participation from the tribes. The Ten Tribes Study, a NIAAA-funded contract, was designed to determine prevalence rates of alcoholism and measure genetic and environmental vulnerability factors of alcoholism among seven Native American tribes. Preliminary analyses revealed high prevalence rates of lifetime alcohol disorders and physical and sexual victimization with significant inter-tribal variability. Dr. Yuan's project will include analyses that were not proposed in the original contract. The specific aims of her research plan are to: 1) to investigate the role of gene-environment interactions in the development of alcohol dependence; 2) determine the role of gene-environment interactions in the development of posttraumatic stress; 3) examine the impact of cultural factors on risks of alcohol dependence and victimization; 4) conduct a pilot study to examine cultural and community factors that contribute to alcohol disorders and interpersonal violence; and 5) establish collaborations to conduct a follow-up study on the relationship between alcohol use and intimate partner violence. RELEVANCE. The aim of the proposed research program is to improve the public health of Native Americans and their communities by reducing the prevalence and severity of outcomes associated with alcoholism and violence. Implications include better informed practice and policy of healthcare and other community-based systems serving reservations.

描述(申请人提供)：项目总结。修订后的K23应用程序将使Nicole P.袁博士能够在研究美洲原住民和其他弱势群体中的酒精中毒和暴力方面发展技能和专业知识，重点是公共卫生和基于社区的研究方法。袁博士的职业发展计划包括：1)完成流行病学专业的M.P.H.学位要求；2)酒精、遗传学和美洲原住民健康流行病学和研究方法方面的培训；3)出席专业会议；4)完成研究计划；5)制作实证论文和演示文稿；6)提交R01拨款申请。她的导师包括玛丽·P·科斯博士、大卫·戈德曼博士、肯尼斯·伦纳德博士、邦妮·M·杜兰博士、伊维特·鲁比多博士和玛丽·Z·梅斯博士。袁博士的研究计划包括三个阶段：1)对十个部落研究的数据进行二次分析；2)与部落进行初步研究；3)研究合作，在部落的全面参与下开展后续研究。NIAAA资助的十个部落研究合同旨在确定酗酒的患病率，并测量七个美洲原住民部落酗酒的遗传和环境易感性因素。初步分析显示，终生酒精障碍以及身体和性侵害的流行率很高，部落间差异很大。袁博士的项目将包括原始合同中没有提出的分析。她的研究计划的具体目标是：1)调查基因-环境相互作用在酒精依赖发展中的作用；2)确定基因-环境相互作用在创伤后应激障碍发展中的作用；3)检查文化因素对酒精依赖和受害风险的影响；4)进行一项试点研究，以检查导致酒精障碍和人际暴力的文化和社区因素；以及5)建立合作，对酒精使用和亲密伴侣暴力之间的关系进行后续研究。关联性。拟议研究计划的目的是通过降低与酒精中毒和暴力相关的后果的流行率和严重性，改善美洲原住民及其社区的公共健康。影响包括更知情的医疗保健和其他以社区为基础的系统为预订服务的做法和政策。
