DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drug use persists as a major global health problem that severely impacts individuals and affects many social institutions, such as health, mental health, criminal justice, and welfare systems. Asian/Pacific Island countries are particularly vulnerable to the deleterious consequences of substance abuse as they currently demonstrate some of the highest rates of opiate, methamphetamine, alcohol, and tobacco use, while exhibiting the highest rates of HIV transmission via injection drug use. These risks are exacerbated by inadequate access to treatment, the criminalization of drug use, and stigma associated with both substance use and HIV/AIDS, combined with limited infrastructure for addressing these issues and a lack of evidence-based research to help guide future policy and treatment plans on a local and national level. This application requests R13 funding over five years for an international Conference Series to Promote Global Health, which will include an annual three-day conference on translational research methods, prevention and treatment practices, and policy issues regarding substance use disorders and their interplay with HIV and other health consequences among Asian and Pacific Islander groups living in the USA and abroad. The proposed Conference Series has the following aims: (1) Establish an international network for future collaboration in substance abuse research and prevention/treatment programs, (2) Update research findings on substance use disorders, HIV/AIDS, and related topics, (3) Provide intensive learning/training experiences to impart knowledge on methodological tools necessary for the conceptualization, implementation, and analysis of research, and (4) Provide training workshops for local providers in treatment and prevention approaches and practices. The Annual Conferences will rotate among Asian/Pacific Island countries and the U.S., with each country providing local support as the annual "co-host." The proposed Conference Series for infrastructure development and training and education activities will extend NIDA's mission of promulgating research-based interventions to improve services and promote global health.

药物使用仍然是一个重大的全球健康问题，严重影响个人和许多社会机构，如健康，心理健康，刑事司法和福利系统。亚洲/太平洋岛屿国家特别容易受到药物滥用的有害后果的影响，因为这些国家目前鸦片剂、甲基安非他明、酒精和烟草的使用率最高，同时通过注射吸毒传播艾滋病毒的比率也最高。这些风险因以下因素而加剧：获得治疗的机会不足、将吸毒定为刑事犯罪、与吸毒和艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的污名化，再加上解决这些问题的基础设施有限，以及缺乏循证研究来帮助指导地方和国家一级的未来政策和治疗计划。该申请要求R13资助五年以上的国际会议系列，以促进全球健康，其中将包括为期三天的年度会议，内容涉及转化研究方法，预防和治疗实践，以及有关物质使用障碍及其与艾滋病毒相互作用的政策问题以及生活在美国和国外的亚洲和太平洋岛民群体的其他健康后果。拟议的系列会议有以下目标：（1）建立一个今后在药物滥用研究和预防/治疗方案方面开展合作的国际网络，（2）更新关于药物使用障碍、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和相关专题的研究结果，（3）提供强化学习/培训经验，传授研究概念化、实施和分析所需的方法工具方面的知识，以及（4）为当地提供者举办治疗和预防方法和做法方面的培训讲习班。年会将在亚洲/太平洋岛国和美国之间轮流举行，每个国家作为年度“共同主办国”提供当地支助。“拟议的基础设施发展、培训和教育活动系列会议将扩大NIDA的使命，即颁布以研究为基础的干预措施，以改善服务和促进全球健康。
