Adaptation and assessment of a common element treatment protocol designed to improve mental health in forcibly displaced populations

摘要 在我的主要导师 Borba 博士的支持下，我的共同导师 Drs.弗雷尔、多西和盖拉耶，还有我的 合作者伯德博士，我提出了一个全面的跨学科研究和培训计划，重点关注 发展我在临床干预研究和跨文化定性评估方面的专业知识 对因被迫流离失所而移徙的人进行心理健康治疗的调整。的 拟议的研究调查了因以下原因引起的精神健康障碍的潜在治疗途径 移民到秘鲁的委内瑞拉人被迫流离失所。我的研究计划目标是 独立研究人员检查心理健康治疗以了解治疗 寻找和保留受侮辱和边缘化人群的精神障碍，例如强迫 流离失所的人民。对因最近的疫情而移民到秘鲁的委内瑞拉人的初步调查结果 委内瑞拉的逃亡表明，移民旅程中存在心理健康风险因素 上下文。因此，该提案利用定性方法来检查并随后针对特定背景 促进秘鲁被迫流离失所人口寻求治疗和保留的移民因素 精神障碍。在实施科学的框架内，该提案将包括对 被迫从委内瑞拉流离失所并移民到秘鲁的人们。这些采访将 利用通用要素治疗方法（一种跨诊断干预措施）来适应独特的治疗方法 被迫流离失所的挑战。在与我的导师的合作下，我开发了一个全面的 培训计划将为我提供全球心理健康研究职业所需的技能。我的 培训和职业发展目标是培养以下方面的技能：(1) 定性方法，(2) 跨文化 心理健康治疗的调整；(3) 临床干预措施的分析。这些技能将使我能够 成为一名专注于全球心理健康的独立科学家。

ABSTRACT With support from my primary mentor Dr. Borba, my co-mentors Drs. Freier, Dorsey, and Gelaye, and my collaborator Dr. Bird, I propose a comprehensive interdisciplinary research and training plan focused on developing my expertise in clinical intervention research and qualitative assessment of cross cultural adaptations of mental health treatments for people who have migrated due to forced displacement. The proposed study investigates the potential avenues of treatment for mental health disorders that arise due to forced displacement in people from Venezuela who have migrated to Peru. My research program goal is to be an independent researcher and examine mental health treatment for the purpose of understanding treatment seeking and retention for mental disorders in stigmatized and marginalized populations, such as forcibly displaced peoples. Preliminary findings from Venezuelans who have migrated into Peru due to the recent Venezuelan exodus suggest that there are risk factors for mental health particular to the migration journey context. Thus, this proposal utilizes qualitative methods to examine, and subsequently target, context specific migration factors that facilitate treatment seeking and retention for forcibly displaced populations in Peru with mental disorders. Framed within implementation science this proposal will include in person interviews with people who have been forcibly displaced from Venezuela and migrated into Peru. These interviews will be leveraged to adapt the Common Elements Treatment Approach, a transdiagnostic intervention, for the unique challenges of forced displacement. In collaboration with my mentors, I have developed a comprehensive training plan that will prepare me with the requisite skill set for a research career in global mental health. My training and career development goals are to cultivate skills in: (1) qualitative methods, (2) cross cultural adaptations of mental health treatments, and (3) analysis of clinical interventions. These skills will allow me to become an independent scientist focused on global mental health.
