Translational Research Training in Child Psychiatry

描述(由申请者提供)：我们培训计划的使命是培训调查人员现代多学科研究的方法和技术，以提高对导致儿童精神障碍的因果路径的了解，以及如何利用这些知识开发和提供干预措施，更有效地预防、管理或治疗这些障碍，从而改善儿童及其家庭的心理和情感健康。 公共卫生相关性：哥伦比亚大学/纽约州精神病学研究所的儿童精神病学研究培训计划旨在增加受过培训的研究人员队伍，以便在儿童和青少年精神病理学方面进行高质量的研究。儿童期和青春期的精神障碍很常见，并造成相当大的痛苦和损害，但对它们的研究和了解普遍较少。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of our training program is to train investigators in the methods and techniques of contemporary, multidisciplinary research that will improve knowledge of the causal pathways that produce psychiatric disorders in children, and how to use that knowledge to develop and deliver interventions that more effectively prevent, manage, or cure those disorders, and thereby improve the mental and emotional well being of children and their families. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Child Psychiatry Research Training Program at Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute has been designed to increase the cadre of investigators trained to undertake quality research in child and adolescent psychopathology. The psychiatric disorders of childhood and adolescence are common and cause considerable distress and impairment yet they remain generally poorly studied and understood.
