Family Research Consortium V: Transdisciplinary Consortium on Mental Health Co-O

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是一份资金申请，用于支持非常成功的家庭研究联盟（FRC）在心理健康、共发疾病和家庭跨学科联盟（FRC V）中的持续合作研究工作。作为20年前开始的第五代合作倡议，第五次联合行动将借鉴其前身“不同人群的过渡、家庭和心理健康联盟”（第四次联合行动）的成就。然而，拟议中的新联盟有一个独特的功能，一个重建的教员，以及一系列新的活动，以继续推进心理健康和家庭科学。FRC V的重点将放在同时发生的精神疾病（例如，情感/焦虑诊断或与药物/酒精滥用同时发生的人格障碍）的影响上，在跨学科框架内概念化并强调转化干预。该联盟将继续财务汇报委员会的传统，慎重、仔细地关注民族、种族、文化和经济的多样性，在这个新的迭代中，将特别关注母亲的作用（她们通常是儿童和其他成年人的主要照顾者，她们自己的调整可能对其他人产生重大的溢出效应）。家庭研究联盟最初成立的目的是促进全国学者在家庭和心理健康问题上的知识交流和合作。该联盟的活动将特别关注共病在五个广泛领域的影响和后果：1)共病与人类生产力：社会成本；2)儿童期和青春期的共病问题；3)共病的性别差异：途径和意义；4)种族、民族和其他少数民族的合并症；5)精神健康和物质使用：预防、治疗和政策。拟议的FRC-V联盟的具体目标是(1)促进不同家庭群体在共病精神障碍研究方面的知识交流、合作研究和培训，因为它们影响家庭成员的福祉和恢复力；(2)推进关于共病对养育子女和家庭关系影响的创新、实质性、理论和方法知识；(3)考虑跨多个影响层面的证据，使用翻译方法a)优先考虑不同家庭在多种背景下和跨多个调查层面的突出风险和保护程序；B)设计适当的和与文化相关的干预措施；c)通过传播研究进展，为州和国家层面的政策提供信息。今天有相当多的人在滥用药物的同时患有严重的精神疾病（如抑郁症或焦虑症）。这些人往往会错过治疗系统之间的差距，往往给社会带来高昂的代价。该提案将汇集研究与共同发生的疾病相关的风险和保护因素的领先科学家，其目的是(a)综合前沿知识，(b)将这些知识转化为针对不同家庭群体的有效预防和治疗策略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request for funds to support continuing collaborative research efforts of the highly successful Family Research Consortium (FRC), in the Transdisciplinary Consortium on Mental Health, Co- occurring disorders, and Families (FRC V). As the fifth generation of a collaborative initiative that began 20 years ago, FRC V will draw upon the accomplishments of its predecessor, the Consortium on Transitions, Families, and Mental Health in Diverse Populations (FRC IV). However, the proposed new consortium has a distinctive function, a reconstructed faculty, and a new set of activities to continue the advancement of science on mental health and families. The focus of FRC V will be on the effects of co-occurring psychiatric disorders (e.g., affective/anxiety diagnoses or personality disorders co-occurring with drug/alcohol abuse), conceptualized within a transdisciplinary framework and with emphasis on translational interventions. This Consortium will continue the FRC tradition of deliberate, careful attention to ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic diversity and in this new iteration, will bring concerted attention, in particular, to the role of mothers (who are generally primary caregivers of children and other adults, and whose own adjustment can have major spillover effects on others). The Family Research Consortium was initially established in order to promote intellectual exchange and collaboration among scholars across the nation on issues related to families and mental health. The activities of this consortium will focus specifically on the implications and consequences of comorbidity in five broad areas: 1) Comorbidity and human productivity: Costs to society; 2) Comorbid problems in childhood and adolescence; 3) Gender differences in comorbidity: Pathways and Implications; 4) Comorbidity in racial, ethnic, and other minorities; 5) Mental health and substance use: Prevention, treatments, and policies The specific aims of the proposed FRC-V consortium are (1) to promote intellectual exchange and collaborative research and training in the study of comorbid psychiatric disorders among diverse groups of families, as they influence the well-being and resilience of family members; (2) to advance innovative, substantive, theoretical and methodological knowledge on the ramifications of comorbidity for parenting and family relations; and (3) to consider evidence across multiple levels of influence, using a translational approach a) to prioritize salient risk and protective processes for diverse families in multiple contexts and across multiple levels of inquiry; b) to design appropriate and culturally relevant interventions; and c) to inform policies at state and national levels through dissemination of research advancements. to public health A significant number of people today suffer from serious mental illnesses (such as depression or anxiety) simultaneously with substance abuse. These individuals tend to fall through the gaps between treatment systems, often at high costs to society. This proposal will bring together leading scientists who study risk and protective factors implicated in co-occurring disorders, with the aims of (a) synthesizing cutting-edge knowledge and (b) translating this knowledge into effective prevention and treatment strategies for diverse groups of families.
