Methods Core

项目总结： 这个P50应用程序代表了行为经济学和 追求改善精神卫生服务提供的实施科学。Core将提供的方法 支持本申请中提出的项目和未来的试点项目。核心方法还将 开发新的方法论方法，支持将行为集中在一起的中心目标 经济学和实施学，以改善精神卫生保健中循证实践的使用。 方法核心将由布滕海姆、马库斯和威廉姆斯博士领导。核心方法将解决三个问题 推进实施科学的主要挑战：实施战略设计缺乏严谨性，缺乏 衡量机制的特殊性，以及在测试调解方面的统计复杂性不足 以及多层次模型中的适度。方法核心将主办三个孵化器-设计、测量和 统计数据--以应对这些挑战。我们提出了以下几个目标：(1)优化算法 严格实施战略设计；(2)加强机制衡量；(3)创新发展 在多水平模型中测试中介和调节效应的方法。核心方法还将 提供运营支持，传播方法进步和中心资源，并评估中心 研究生产力和影响力。方法核心所带来的方法论进步将具有 通过改善循证实践心理，对公共卫生产生重大影响，与NIMH的优先事项保持一致 在社区环境中提供卫生服务。

PROJECT SUMMARY  This P50 application represents a novel interdisciplinary center at the intersection of behavioral economics and implementation science in pursuit of improving mental health service delivery. The Methods Core will provide support to the projects proposed in this application and to future pilot projects. The Methods Core also will develop new methodological approaches that support the center objectives of bringing together behavioral economics and implementation science to improve the use of evidence-based practice in mental health care. The Methods Core will be led by Drs. Buttenheim, Marcus, and Williams. The Methods Core will address three major challenges to advancing implementation science: lack of rigor in implementation strategy design, lack of specificity in the measurement of mechanisms, and inadequate statistical sophistication in testing mediation and moderation in multi-level models. The Methods Core will host three incubators –design, measurement, and statistics – to address these challenges. We propose the following aims for our Methods Core: (1) optimize the rigor of implementation strategy design; (2) strengthen measurement of mechanisms; (3) and develop novel approaches to testing mediating and moderating effects in multi-level models. The Methods Core also will provide operational support, disseminate methodological advances and center resources, and evaluate center research productivity and impact. The methodological advances to come out of the Methods Core will have a significant public health impact, consistent with NIMH priorities, by improving evidence-based practice mental health service delivery in community settings.
