Research Core-MHD

项目概要研究MHD Core D 种族、民族、性和性别少数群体最不可能从医疗保健中受益。 艾滋病毒预防和治疗的进展，以及最易患艾滋病毒相关共病的心理健康 (MH)影响艾滋病毒预防和护理各个方面的问题继续存在。南佛罗里达-迈阿密 特别是-美国艾滋病毒/艾滋病中心和家庭的种族，民族和 性/性别少数人在风险和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的国家，是一个理想的环境， 推进研究，以解决与艾滋病毒有关的MH差异。环境包括多种风险， 在获得和利用艾滋病毒和生殖健康服务方面以及在 艾滋病毒/艾滋病和MH成果。迈阿密大学的心理健康差异（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 社会文化和结构驱动因素在艾滋病毒和MH差异的交叉点。 MHD Core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）促进文化上胜任的、理论驱动的评估方法和干预措施， 将导致严格的，高影响力的研究，以解决MH和少数民族在艾滋病毒/艾滋病的健康差距 预防和护理;（2）促进和最大限度地发挥社区参与和响应MH的影响， 通过UM调查人员与社区利益相关者的双向合作进行艾滋病毒研究， 吸引来自难以接触的高危人群的潜在研究参与者;以及（3）提供人类 向D-ARC研究者提供受试者咨询和支持，以确保风险、公平性、知情同意和数据 在与弱势群体一起工作时，要解决质量/安全问题。 MHD核心将与发展核心同步工作，以使研究人员能够进行 严格的，道德的，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， 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影响的各种和服务不足的人群合作时的考虑因素 预防和治疗方面的差距。因此，磁流体核心将促进创新和理论- 驱动的研究方法，刺激研究与UM D-ARC的使命，减少 心理健康和少数民族健康差异对艾滋病毒预防和护理的影响。

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.
