DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research and training plan aims to create and pilot an innovative Internet-based intervention and equip the applicant with skills and resources to pursue a line of research that develops and evaluates web- based programs for the prevention of depression. Current prevention programs have been shown to reduce the incidence of new episodes of major depression but have major limitations. Existing programs could be improved by expanding their scope to include promotion of well-being and healthy mood states, and widening their influence by using scalable technology to serve those who are currently beyond the reach of mental health systems. The use of the Internet to disseminate psychological interventions is expanding. Training researchers to properly use this powerful tool will enhance the future of the mental health field. The applicant proposes to combine prior training in positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral strategies with the resources and expertise provided by the sponsor to create and pilot a combined cognitive-behavioral and positive psychology web-based prevention intervention. The sponsor, Dr. Ricardo Muqoz is an expert in depression prevention and Internet-based interventions and founder of the Internet World Health Research Center (IWHRC). The IWHRC was triggered by work conducted by Dr. Muqoz and the University of California, San Francisco/San Francisco General Hospital Latino Mental Health Research Program to test whether randomized controlled trials could be conducted via the web. These resources provide the perfect opportunity for the applicant to complete the proposed research and training plan and achieve the following three aims designed to set the stage for his career as a clinical researcher with expertise in outcome trials designed to create evidence-based Internet interventions: Aim 1: To create and pilot test an Internet-based combined cognitive-behavioral and positive psychology intervention for the prevention of depression. Aim 2: To examine perceived benefits to the additional positive psychology components including increasing adherence to, enjoyment of, and preference for the Internet intervention. Aim 3: To provide skills needed to create, evaluate, and disseminate Internet-based interventions. This application provides the applicant with the technical knowledge and research experience necessary to launch a career as a clinical researcher of Internet-based interventions. A promotion focused approach emphasizing positive emotions might increase engagement and thus adherence to the intervention techniques. The Internet provides a highly innovative means of delivering preventive mental health services for undertreated and underserved populations. An online intervention of this type has the potential to reach millions of individuals. Use of the Internet in intervention research is cutting-edge; providing the applicant with the skills and training at this early stage will prepare him for a successful research career.

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的研究和培训计划旨在创建和试点一种创新的基于互联网的干预措施，并为申请人提供技能和资源，以从事一系列研究，开发和评估基于网络的抑郁症预防计划。目前的预防计划已被证明可以减少严重抑郁症新发作的发生率，但存在重大限制。现有的项目可以通过扩大其范围以包括促进幸福和健康的情绪状态来改进，并通过使用可扩展的技术来扩大其影响力，以服务于那些目前超出心理健康系统的范围的人。互联网传播心理干预措施的使用正在扩大。培训研究人员正确使用这一强大的工具将增强心理健康领域的未来。申请人建议将积极心理学和认知行为策略方面的先前培训与主办方提供的资源和专业知识相结合，以创建和试点认知行为和积极心理学相结合的基于网络的预防干预。发起人Ricardo Muqoz博士是抑郁症预防和互联网干预方面的专家，也是互联网世界健康研究中心(IWHRC)的创始人。IWHRC是由Muqoz博士和加州大学旧金山分校/旧金山总医院拉丁裔精神健康研究项目开展的工作引发的，该项目旨在测试是否可以通过网络进行随机对照试验。这些资源为申请者提供了完美的机会来完成拟议的研究和培训计划，并实现以下三个目标，这些目标旨在为他的职业生涯奠定基础，成为一名临床研究人员，拥有旨在创建基于证据的互联网干预措施的专门知识：目标1：创建和试点基于互联网的认知-行为和积极心理学相结合的干预措施，以预防抑郁症。目的2：考察积极心理学附加成分的感知益处，包括对互联网干预的坚持、享受和偏好的增加。目标3：提供创建、评估和传播基于互联网的干预措施所需的技能。这项申请为申请人提供了必要的技术知识和研究经验，以开始互联网干预的临床研究人员的职业生涯。强调积极情绪的以推广为重点的方法可能会增加参与度，从而坚持干预技术。互联网为未得到充分治疗和未得到充分服务的人群提供预防性精神卫生服务提供了一种高度创新的手段。这类在线干预有可能接触到数百万人。互联网在干预研究中的使用是前沿的；在这个早期阶段为申请者提供技能和培训将为他的研究事业成功做好准备。
