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，“推进创伤教育，培训和实践的科学，”是：（1）确定心理健康提供者所需的专业知识和技能（主要是精神病学家，心理学家和社会工作者）治疗创伤幸存者必须从“能力”的角度，（2）制定培训模式，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）确定评估战略，衡量向受创伤儿童和成人提供服务的能力。这一科学奋进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循证信息。这个小补助金会议应用程序的具体目标是计划，进行和传播信息，从会议上以证据为基础的跨学科的核心心理健康能力的创伤。在第一年的第一个月，计划委员会，一个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的小组，将在琼·库克博士和伊莱娜·纽曼博士的领导下在耶鲁大学召开会议。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，完善共识会议的组织，讨论会议记录的传播，并计划下一步推进提供者培训的科学。将进行一项在线调查，以评估心理健康从业人员对已确定的核心能力初步清单的意见。正式会议将在第一年结束时举行，成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）。会议记录还将通过网播和网络研讨会以及附加说明的书目和专业通讯传播。重要的是，一些国家组织（即，退伍军人事务部（VA）国家创伤后应激障碍中心、VA国家无家可归者中心和美国心理协会创伤心理学部）已同意为这一重要奋进的机构间合作提供补充资金。 公共卫生相关性：创伤及其对身心健康和功能的负面影响已被确认为一个高度优先的公共卫生问题。识别和促进治疗创伤的跨学科心理健康核心能力对于改善暴露于创伤经历的人的结果至关重要。

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.
