DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Virtually all psychologists' work is affected by issues related to unhealthy alcohol use. Many, however, remain unaware of the cross-cutting relevance of alcohol studies and treatment, and ways to keep abreast of advances in the field. The American Psychological Association (APA), the largest organization of psychologists, their educators, and their trainees in the US, hosts an annual convention that attracts thousands of attendees from a wide range of psychological sub-disciplines. Convention programming and events related to addictive behaviors, including problematic alcohol use, are hosted by Division 50 (Addictions), a division of APA replete with NIAAA awardees and other scientists and practitioners devoted to alcohol studies. The present application is designed to bring a broad range of psychologists, including experimental and clinical researchers, clinicians and policymakers who work outside the area of alcohol studies, together with Division 50. The primary objective is to promote information exchange between clinical and research communities through (1) dissemination of current advances in evidence-based clinical practices related to the early detection, intervention, and treatment of alcohol-related problems and (2) feedback to researchers seeking to fill gaps in the alcohol studies knowledge base. This application seeks to continue activities supported by the current R13 grant: NIAAA Clinician's Guide and grant-writing pre-convention workshops, an early-career poster session and social hour, and symposia focused on disseminating evidence- based practices in alcohol problem identification and treatment. These activities will be supplemented with new panel discussions that help define the role of clinicians in major NIAAA initiatives and "conversation hours" that promote informal discussions between researchers and clinicians interested in special topics in alcohol studies. Proposed activities will be held yearly at the August APA Convention during the 3-year grant cycle. Yearly support is requested for room and audiovisual costs (workshops and conversation hours), travel stipends (15 early career poster presenters, 6 symposia presenters, and 6 panel discussants), convention registration coverage (6 conversation hour hosts), and advertising. This renewal application pairs APA's substantial clinical psychology audience with basic and clinical researchers in alcohol studies to facilitate networking and cross-fertilization of ideas. The overall goal is bridge the gap between research and clinical practice through a bi-directional flow of information on basic research, evidence-based practices, and clinical expertise in alcohol studies. The intended audience frequently encounters the many complications that arise from unhealthy alcohol use, and the APA convention presents a rare opportunity to engage the broader spectrum of treatment providers who would otherwise not be exposed to the cross-cutting relevance of substance use disorders to mental health treatment. Such alcohol-related work is vital to the continued development of the research and clinical psychology community and, ultimately, to the efforts of this community to serve general public health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project contributes to public health by disseminating current trends in alcohol studies, interventions, and treatment programs to a broad array of research and clinical psychologists whose work is directly or indirectly affected by issues related to unhealthy alcohol use behaviors. The activities in this application promote progress in transforming the discoveries from basic behavioral studies into clinical tools that improve health and cultivate a broader base of support for evidence-based practices related to the treatment of alcohol use disorders and cutting edge research in alcohol studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：几乎所有心理学家的工作都受到与不健康饮酒相关的问题的影响。然而，许多人仍然没有意识到酒精研究和治疗的跨领域相关性，以及跟上该领域进展的方法。美国心理学会 (APA) 是美国最大的心理学家、教育工作者和学员组织，每年举办一次大会，吸引了来自各个心理学分支的数千名与会者。与成瘾行为（包括有问题的酒精使用）相关的大会节目和活动由第 50 部门（成瘾）主办，该部门是 APA 的一个部门，由 NIAAA 获奖者以及其他致力于酒精研究的科学家和从业者组成。本申请旨在将广泛的心理学家，包括在酒精研究领域之外工作的实验和临床研究人员、临床医生和政策制定者与第 50 部门聚集在一起。主要目标是通过以下方式促进临床和研究界之间的信息交流：(1) 传播与酒精相关问题的早期检测、干预和治疗相关的循证临床实践的最新进展，以及 (2) 向寻求填补酒精研究知识空白的研究人员提供反馈 根据。该申请旨在继续当前 R13 拨款支持的活动：NIAAA 临床医生指南和拨款写作会前研讨会、早期职业海报会议和社交时间，以及专注于传播酒精问题识别和治疗方面基于证据的实践的研讨会。这些活动将辅以新的小组讨论，帮助确定临床医生在 NIAAA 重大举措中的作用，以及“对话时间”，促进对酒精研究特殊主题感兴趣的研究人员和临床医生之间的非正式讨论。拟议的活动将在 3 年资助周期内每年 8 月的 APA 大会上举行。每年请求支持房间和视听费用（研讨会和对话时间）、旅行津贴（15 名早期职业海报演示者、6 名研讨会演示者和 6 名小组讨论者）、会议注册覆盖范围（6 次对话时间主持人）和广告。这一更新的应用程序将 APA 的大量临床心理学受众与酒精研究的基础和临床研究人员配对，以促进交流和思想的交叉传播。总体目标是通过基础研究、循证实践和酒精研究临床专业知识的双向信息流，弥合研究和临床实践之间的差距。目标受众经常遇到因不健康饮酒而引起的许多并发症，而 APA 大会提供了一个难得的机会，让更广泛的治疗提供者参与其中，否则他们将不会接触到物质使用障碍与心理健康治疗的交叉相关性。此类与酒精相关的工作对于研究和临床心理学界的持续发展至关重要，并最终对该界为公众健康服务的努力至关重要。 公共健康相关性：该项目通过向广泛的研究和临床心理学家传播酒精研究、干预措施和治疗方案的当前趋势，为公共健康做出贡献，这些心理学家的工作直接或间接受到不健康饮酒行为相关问题的影响。该应用程序中的活动促进了将基础行为研究的发现转化为改善健康的临床工具的进展，并为与酒精使用障碍治疗和酒精研究前沿研究相关的循证实践提供更广泛的支持基础。
