Center for Collaborative Inner City Mental health Services Research (CCCR)

本申请寻求资金，以便在西奈山医学院建立一个发展中心(P20)，称为协作内城儿童精神健康服务研究中心(CCCR)，与以下机构合作：1)纽约州精神健康办公室；2)代表内城青年、家庭和社区的两个家庭和社区倡导委员会(布朗克斯社区合作委员会和家庭倡导研究委员会(FAR委员会)；3)纽约城市大学亨特社会工作学院，代表纽约市每年培养最多有色人种硕士水平精神健康提供者的教育项目。CCCR的目的是组织多学科研究人员开展儿童心理健康服务研究，以改善弱势青年的整体健康和心理健康，这些青年往往在城市背景下与情绪和身体健康面临的重叠威胁作斗争。CCCR特别关注新的临床实践和服务交付模式的开发和测试，这些模式由现有的经验发现以及与研究人员、从业者、青年和居住在市中心社区的家庭之间的密集合作相关的结果提供信息。 来自P20的支持还将使CCCR的教职员工专注于指导新的有色人种研究人员，特别是那些在进行城市服务研究方面具有直接临床实践经验的人，并特别强调帮助下一代研究人员整合具有足够弹性的方法，以克服“现实世界”城市社区和精神健康实践环境中的障碍，并整合父母、青年和精神健康提供者的视角。本文提出了两项研究。第一项研究探讨了为有严重破坏性行为困难和学业失败的青少年提供多层次服务的可行性、可接受性和初步影响。第二个试点调查了心理健康素养的概念，以及拉丁裔成年照顾者错过了参与心理健康服务的机会。

This application seeks funding to establish a Developing Center (P20), referred to as the Center for Collaborative Inner-City Child Mental Health Services Research (CCCR) at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in collaboration with: 1) the New York State Office of Mental Health; 2) two family and community advocacy boards representing inner-city youth, families and communities (Bronx Community Collaborative Board and the Family Advocates Research Board (FAR Board) and 3) Hunter College School of Social Work at the City University of New York, representing the educational program preparing the largest number of master's level mental health providers of color annually in New York City. The aim of the CCCR is to organize multi-disciplinary researchers on the conduct of child mental health services research meant to improve the overall health and mental health of vulnerable youth, too often struggling with overlapping threats to emotional and physical wellness within urban contexts. The CCCR is specifically focused on the development and testing of novel clinical practices and service delivery models that are informed by existing empirical findings, as well as the outcomes associated with intensive collaboration between researchers, practitioners, youth and families living in inner-city neighborhoods. Support from a P20 will also focus CCCR faculty on the mentoring of new investigators of color, particularly those with direct clinical practice experience in the conduct of urban services research with a particular emphasis on helping the next generation of researchers integrate methods that are sufficiently resilient to navigate obstacles within "real world" urban communities and mental health practice settings and that integrate parents, youth, and mental health providers, perspectives. Two research studies are proposed. The first examines the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary impact of a multi-level service for adolescents with serious disruptive behavioral difficulties and school failure. The second pilot examines the concept of mental health literacy and missed opportunities to engagement in mental health services among Latino adult caregivers.
