DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long range goal of SHARE (the South Asian Hub for Advocacy, Research & Education on mental health) is to establish a collaborative network of institutions in South Asia, building on the historic linkages between them, to carry out and to utilize research that answers policy relevant questions related to reducing the treatment gap for mental disorders in the region. Within the five year time-frame of the proposed program, we seek to achieve the following key objectives to arrive at our overall goal: A. To establish the Hub by setting up a primary administrative core in the Indian Institute of Public Health, Hyderabad. A partner core will be simultaneously set up in the Institute of Psychiatry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The two cores will form the twin 'hearts' of a larger network of academic, research, user/carer and policy institutions spread in six countries of the South Asian region, and strategic partners in the UK and the USA. B. To contribute to the reduction in the treatment gap in South Asia through a concerted program of research on task-shifting and research capacity building by: building the evidence base on the role of peers in the delivery of mental health care by developing and evaluating the impact of a peer-led psychological treatment for maternal depression on maternal and child health outcomes; carrying out shared research projects, on themes related to reducing the treatment gap, agreed by consensus with other regional Hubs; offering diverse opportunities for research capacity development to suit the needs of researchers across the career development pathway, building the capacity to carry out research and to utilize evidence to influence policy and practice; and promoting exchange of technical expertise with international partners. C. To contribute more broadly to improving mental health care globally by: disseminating evidence to partners in policy & programs regionally and globally; collaborating with other Hubs in the shared research projects component; advocating to and participating in global initiatives thereby influencing policy and practice related to mental health care in low and middle income countries; and promoting research to examine how cultural and health systems differences impact the applicability of interventions across regions.

描述（由申请人提供）：共享（南亚中心的宣传，研究和教育心理健康）的长期目标是建立一个合作网络的机构在南亚，建立在他们之间的历史联系，开展和利用研究，回答有关政策相关的问题，以减少该地区的精神障碍治疗差距。在拟议计划的五年时间框架内，我们寻求实现以下关键目标，以实现我们的总体目标： A.通过在海得拉巴的印度公共卫生研究所设立一个主要行政核心来建立该中心。同时将在巴基斯坦拉瓦尔平迪精神病学研究所设立一个伙伴核心。这两个核心将形成一个更大的学术，研究，用户/护理和政策机构网络的双“心”，分布在南亚地区的六个国家，以及英国和美国的战略合作伙伴。 B。通过一项关于任务转移和研究能力建设的协调一致的研究方案，为缩小南亚的治疗差距做出贡献：通过开发和评估同伴主导的心理治疗对孕产妇抑郁症的影响，建立关于同伴在提供心理保健方面的作用的证据基础。开展与其他区域中心协商一致商定的关于缩小治疗差距的主题的共同研究项目;为研究能力发展提供各种机会，以满足研究人员在职业发展道路上的需求，建设开展研究和利用证据影响政策和做法的能力;促进与国际伙伴交流技术专门知识。 C.通过以下方式更广泛地促进全球精神卫生保健的改善：向区域和全球政策和方案的合作伙伴传播证据;与其他中心在共享研究项目部分合作;倡导并参与全球倡议，从而影响与中低收入国家精神卫生保健相关的政策和实践;并促进研究，以探讨文化和卫生系统差异如何影响干预措施在各地区的适用性。
