Research training in drug abuse/HIV prevention: closing the research-practice gap

 描述(由申请人提供)：这项拟议的T32旨在提供药物滥用/艾滋病毒预防方面的研究培训，以缩小现有预防科学证据基础与现实世界环境中提供的干预措施之间的差距。也就是说，我们提供实施科学研究方面的培训，这是在现实世界环境中增加采用循证药物滥用预防/减少艾滋病毒风险干预措施所需的培训。我们计划培训3名博士后和3名高级博士后研究员，为期两年。核心培训人员来自亚利桑那州立大学(ASU)心理学系(包括其预防研究中心和REACH研究所)以及社会和家庭动力学学院。附属培训人员来自亚利桑那州立大学商业学院、工程学院、医疗保健提供科学学院、护理与健康创新学院、生物医学信息学系和梅奥诊所。该方案由一个由国家实施科学专家组成的外部培训学院和一个社区咨询委员会指导，该委员会由来自服务提供机构(学校、法院、医疗保健和精神卫生保健机构)的决策领导人组成。培训包括药物滥用和实施科学方面的必要课程、正在进行的培训研讨会(包括道德操守和职业发展培训)和艾滋病毒风险问题讲习班。这些必要的教学内容与指导研究学徒的量身定做的计划相结合。培训教师开展了许多由NIH资助的项目，在这些项目中，合作研究团队设计、实施和评估自然服务提供环境中基于理论的预防干预措施，并研究与成功采用计划相关的实施科学问题。通过这种教学课程和研究学徒的结合，受训人员获得了以下技能：设计实施干预措施、文化适应模式、基于社区的参与性研究、让提供者和参与者、培训提供者参与进来、在自然环境中衡量实施成果和参与者成果、考虑背景因素、利用技术进行方案交付以及衡量成本和收益。一个独特的培训资源是亚利桑那州立大学REACH研究所，该研究所专注于实施科学，包括“大规模”实施。我们计划的其他独特优势包括广泛的教师专业知识和在定量方法和研究方法方面的培训机会，这些方法涉及不同文化背景的人群。我们受训人员的研究贡献将增加在现实世界实践中采用循证干预措施，帮助实现其在人口层面对公共卫生的影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed T32 seeks to provide research training in drug abuse/HIV prevention that reduces the gap between the existing evidence base in prevention science and the interventions that are delivered in real-world settings. That is, we provide training in the implementation science research that is needed to increase adoption of evidence-based drug abuse prevention/HIV risk reduction interventions in real-world settings. We seek to train 3 post-doctoral and 3 advanced pre-doctoral fellows for a two-year period. Core training faculty are drawn from the Arizona State University (ASU) Department of Psychology (including its prevention research center and REACH Institute) and School for Social and Family Dynamics. Affiliated training faculty are from the ASU Colleges of Business, Engineering, Science of Health Care Delivery, Nursing and Health Innovation, Department of Biomedical Informatics, and Mayo Clinic. The program is guided by an External Training Faculty of national experts in implementation science and a Community Advisory Board composed of decision leaders from service delivery settings (schools, courts, health care, and mental health care settings). Training consists of required courses in drug abuse and implementation science, an ongoing training seminar (including training in ethics and career development), and a workshop on HIV risk. These required didactic components are combined with a tailored program of mentored research apprenticeships. Training faculty conduct numerous NIH-funded projects in which collaborative research teams design, implement, and evaluate theory-based preventive interventions in natural service delivery settings and study the implementation science questions related to successful program uptake. Through this combination of didactic coursework and research apprenticeships, trainees acquire skills in designing interventions for implementation, models of cultural adaptation, community-based participatory research, engaging providers and participants, training providers, measuring implementation outcomes and participant outcomes in natural settings, considering contextual factors, using technology for program delivery, and measuring costs and benefits. A unique training resource is the ASU REACH Institute, which focuses on implementation science, including implementation "at scale." Other unique strengths of our program include extensive faculty expertise and training opportunities in quantitative methods and in research methods with culturally diverse populations. The research contributions of our trainees will increase the adoption of evidence-based interventions in real world practice, helping to realize their public health impact at the population level.
