Advancing the Science of Education, Training and Practice in Trauma

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议会议的目标是“推进创伤教育、培训和实践的科学”，旨在：(1)从“能力”的角度确定治疗创伤幸存者的心理健康提供者（主要是精神病学家、心理学家和社会工作者）必须具备的经验知识和技能；(2)开发培训模式，以提供服务，以满足广泛和多样化的创伤幸存者群体的心理健康需求；(3)确定评估策略，以衡量向创伤儿童和成人提供服务的能力。这项科学努力响应了医疗保健研究和质量机构的使命，即向决策者，特别是医疗保健提供者阐明和传播基于证据的信息。这项小额资助会议申请的具体目标是计划、开展和传播创伤中循证跨学科核心心理健康能力会议的信息。在第一年的第一个月，计划委员会将在耶鲁大学召开会议，该委员会由国际知名的精神病学家、心理学家和具有创伤专业知识的社会工作者组成。Joan Cook和Elana Newman。该委员会反映了性别、民族、种族、性取向和年龄的多样性。在这次会议上，委员会将开会，开始阐明核心能力，完善协商一致会议的组织，讨论会议记录的传播，并计划下一步推进提供者培训科学。将进行一项在线调查，以评估精神卫生从业人员对确定的核心能力初步清单的意见。正式的会议将在一年底举行，结果将包括美国心理协会杂志的特刊（心理创伤：理论，研究实践和政策）。会议记录也将通过网络广播和网络研讨会以及带注释的参考书目和专业通讯传播。重要的是，几个国家组织（即退伍军人事务部（VA）国家创伤后应激障碍中心，VA国家无家可归中心和美国心理协会创伤心理学分部）已经同意为这一重要努力的跨部门合作提供补充资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the proposed conference, "Advancing the Science of Education, Training and Practice in Trauma," are to: (1) identify empirically-informed knowledge and skills that mental health providers (primarily psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers) treating trauma survivors must have from a "competency" perspective, (2) develop training models to provide services to meet the mental health needs of the broad and diverse trauma survivor population and (3) to determine assessment strategies for measuring competencies for providing services to traumatized children and adults. This scientific endeavor is responsive to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's mission to articulate and disseminate evidence-based information to decision-makers, particularly health care providers. The specific objectives of this small grant conference application are to plan, conduct and disseminate information from a conference on evidence-based interdisciplinary core mental health competences in trauma. In year one month one, the planning committee, a group consisting of internationally known psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers with expertise in trauma, will convene at Yale University under the leadership of Drs. Joan Cook and Elana Newman. The committee reflects diversity in gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, and age. At this meeting the committee will meet to begin to articulate core competencies, refine the organization of the consensus conference, discuss dissemination of conference proceedings, and plan for next steps to advance the science of provider training. An online survey will be conducted to assess mental health practitioners' opinions regarding the preliminary list of identified core competencies. The formal conference will take place at the end of year one and outcomes will include a special issue of an American Psychological Association journal (Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research Practice and Policy). Conference proceedings will also be disseminated in webcasts and webinars, as well as annotated bibliographies and professional newsletters. Importantly, several national organizations (i.e., the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for PTSD, the VA National Center for Homelessness and the American Psychological Association's Division of Trauma Psychology) have agreed to provide supplementary funding for interagency collaboration of this important endeavor. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Trauma and its negative effects on mental and physical health and functioning have been recognized as a high priority public health issue. Identifying and promoting empirically-informed interdisciplinary mental health core competencies for treating trauma is essential to improving the outcome of persons exposed to traumatic experiences.
