Research Core-MHD

项目总结 研究 MHD Core D 种族、民族、性别和性别少数群体最不可能从医疗中受益 艾滋病毒预防和治疗方面的进展，以及最容易出现与艾滋病毒相关的共病的心理健康问题 (MH) 影响艾滋病毒预防和护理连续性各个方面的问题。南佛罗里达州 - 迈阿密 特别是——美国艾滋病毒/艾滋病的震中，也是种族、民族和人口最多的地区之一 全国有艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险和感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的性/性别少数群体是一个理想的环境 推进研究以解决与艾滋病毒相关的 MH 差异。环境包含多种风险 这些不利条件导致了在获得和利用艾滋病毒和心理健康服务方面以及在 HIV/AIDS 和 MH 结果。迈阿密大学心理健康差异 (MHD) 核心 发展艾滋病研究中心（UM D-ARC）将促进研究以了解、评估和干预 HIV 和 MH 差异交叉点的社会文化和结构驱动因素。 MHD核心将提供专家咨询、开发和扩大研究资源（措施 图书馆和同意联系数据库），并与社区利益相关者合作以实现以下目标 具体目标：(1) 推广具有文化能力、理论驱动的评估方法和干预措施， 将进行严格的、高影响力的研究，以解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的 MH 和少数族裔的健康差异 预防和护理； (2) 促进并最大限度地发挥社区参与和响应性的 MH 的影响， 通过密歇根大学研究人员与社区利益相关者的双向合作进行艾滋病毒研究 来自难以接触的高危人群的潜在研究参与者的参与； (3) 提供人力 向 D-ARC 调查人员提供受试者咨询和支持，以确保风险、公平、同意和数据 与弱势群体合作时要考虑质量/安全问题。 MHD 核心将与发展核心同步工作，使调查人员能够进行 严格、道德、多层次的研究，解决艾滋病毒和MH的差异。它将补充 方法核心，因为方法核心将为 D-ARC 用户提供一般研究方法和 生物统计分析支持，MHD核心将为UM用户提供更具体的研究支持 与受 MH 和其他 HIV 影响的多元化且服务不足的人群合作时的注意事项 预防和治疗相关的差异。因此，MHD 核心将促进创新和理论- 驱动的研究方法，刺激与 UM D-ARC 使命同步的研究，即减少 艾滋病毒预防和护理持续过程中心理健康和少数民族健康差异的影响。

Project Summary Research MHD Core D Racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minority populations are the least likely to benefit from medical advances in HIV prevention and treatment, and the most susceptible to comorbid HIV-related mental health (MH) problems affecting all aspects of the HIV prevention and care continua. South Florida – Miami in particular – a US HIV/AIDS epicenter and home to one of the largest populations of racial, ethnic and sexual/gender minority individuals at risk for and living with HIV/AIDS in the nation, is an ideal setting for advancing research to address HIV-related MH disparities. The environment includes multiple risks and disadvantages that set the stage for disparities in access to and utilization of HIV and MH services and in HIV/AIDS and MH outcomes. The Mental Health Disparities (MHD) Core of the University of Miami Development AIDS Research Center (UM D-ARC) will promote research to understand, assess, and intervene with sociocultural and structural drivers at the intersection of HIV and MH disparities. The MHD Core will provide expert consultation, develop and expand research resources (measures library and consent-to-contact databases), and engage with community stakeholders to achieve the following Specific Aims: (1) promote culturally competent, theory-driven assessment approaches and interventions that will result in rigorous, high-impact research to address MH and minority health disparities in HIV/AIDS prevention and care; (2) facilitate and maximize the impact of community-engaged and responsive MH and HIV research through bi-directional collaboration of UM investigators with community stakeholders and engagement of potential research participants from hard-to-reach at-risk populations; and (3) provide Human Subjects consultation and support to D-ARC investigators to ensure that risks, fairness, consent, and data quality/safety are addressed when working with vulnerable populations. The MHD Core will work in synchrony with the Developmental Core to equip investigators to conduct rigorous, ethical, multi-level research that addresses disparities in HIV and MH. It will complement the Methods Core in that the Methods Core will provide D-ARC users with general research methods and biostatistical analysis support, and the MHD core will provide UM users with more specific research support on considerations when working with diverse and underserved populations affected by MH and other HIV prevention and treatment related disparities. The MHD core will therefore promote innovative and theory- driven research approaches, stimulating research in synchrony with the UM D-ARC mission of Reducing the Impact of Mental Health and Minority Health Disparities across the HIV Prevention and Care Continua.
