The Developing Center On Public Health And Interventions

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请为预防自杀的公共卫生和人口干预发展中心(DC-PHPIPS；请注意，全文将被简化为PHP-Center)代表了我们对公共卫生和以人口为导向的方法预防自杀和自杀未遂的集体愿景，以及由无数相关危险因素引起的发病率。PHP-Center是一个合作研究联盟的产物，其中包括一批不同但互补的科学家，他们将专注于设计、实施和评估新的预防计划，并开发和测试新的预防理论。PHP-Center正在发展成为一个没有围墙的中心，即使它的总部设在罗切斯特大学的自杀研究和预防中心。具体地说，PHP-Center的目标是建立一个独特的、多学科的研究企业，为正在发展的自杀预防领域提供智力中心；发起一个以科学为导向的自杀预防和公共心理健康年会；开发、实施和评估新的研究设计和措施的使用，并将新的理论和分析方法扩展到自杀预防和干预研究；创建“预防研究孵化器”(PRI；“孵化器”)，以促进基于目前出现的‘自然机遇’的严谨研究的发展；而且，开展高质量的调查，推动努力减少自杀、自杀未遂和相关前驱条件的死亡率和发病率。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for the DEVELOPING CENTER ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND POPULATION INTERVENTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF SUICIDE (DC-PHPIPS; note that throughout the text this will be simplified to PHP-Center) represents our collective vision for public health and population-oriented approaches to preventing suicide and attempted suicide, and the morbidity arising from myriad associated risk factors. The PHP-Center is the product of a collaborative research consortium involving a diverse, yet complementary array of scientists who will focus their efforts on designing, implementing, and evaluating new prevention programs, and developing and testing new theories of prevention. The PHP-Center is developing as a center that has no walls, even as it is based at the University of Rochester's Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide. Specifically, the PHP-Center aims to build a unique, multidisciplinary research enterprise that will provide an intellectual epicenter for the developing field of suicide prevention; initiate a scientifically-oriented Suicide Prevention and Public Mental Health annual meeting; develop, implement, and assess the use of novel research designs and measures, and extend the application of new theoretical and analytic approaches to suicide prevention and intervention research; create a "Prevention Research Incubator (PRI; "Incubator") to foster the development of rigorous research that builds upon the 'natural opportunities' that now are arising; and, carry out high quality investigations that move forward efforts to reduce the mortality and morbidity of suicide, attempted suicide, and related antecedent conditions.
