Training Program in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Suicide Prevention

项目摘要 本申请是为一个新的比较有效性研究培训计划提交的， 自杀预防将由哈佛T.H.流行病学系提供。禅宗 公共卫生与predocs也来自心理学系在艺术和科学学院 (FAS)以及哈佛医学院精神病学系的博士后 （HMS）。培训方案的主要目标是教育新一代有前途的 跨学科的博士前和博士后学员在使用先进的方法进行比较， 有效性研究（CER）侧重于旨在减少自杀的临床和政策干预， 自杀相关行为（SRB;意念，计划，尝试，其他自我伤害行为）。应用 建立在流行病学系流行病学方法计划的综合优势之上， 在哈佛的几个部门之间进行的关于预防自杀的强有力的合作研究项目。我们 旨在培训主题专家（临床心理学家、精神病流行病学家、精神病学家）， 先进的CER方法，并为即将成为CER方法学家的学员提供 在自杀预防研究中，密集的主题暴露需要鼓励他们继续关注 自杀和SRB在他们未来的研究。所有学员将完成一套严格的核心课程， CER方法，并接受深入的培训，在当前的理论和实证CER研究，旨在 防止自杀和SRB。培训教员之间存在广泛的合作网络 在众多关注干预措施的高知名度CER研究中， 减少自杀和SRB。这些项目将为学员提供丰富的指导研究 培训机会。我们要求为总共六名受训人员提供支持：三名博士预科生和三名 博士后培训将结合课程，由核心教师领导的培训研讨会，实践， 指导研究培训，其中CER方法应用于涉及预防的重要项目， 自杀和SRB多样性和健康差距将是主要焦点。

Project Summary This application is being submitted for a new Training Program in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Suicide Prevention that will be offered by the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with predocs also coming from the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) at Harvard University and postdocs from the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS). The principal objectives of the Training Program will be to educate a new generation of promising interdisciplinary pre- and post-doctoral trainees in the use of cutting-edge methodology for comparative effectiveness research (CER) focused on clinical and policy interventions aimed at reducing suicides and suicide-related behaviors (SRBs; ideation, plans, attempts, other self-injurious behaviors). The application builds on the combined strengths of the epidemiologic methods program in the Epidemiology Department and the strong collaborative research program on suicide prevention across several Departments at Harvard. We aim to train subject matter specialists (clinical psychologists, psychiatric epidemiologists, psychiatrists) in cutting-edge CER methods and to provide trainees who are going to become CER methodologists with the intensive subject matter exposure in suicide prevention research needed to encourage their continued focus on suicides and SRBs in their future studies. All trainees will complete a rigorous core set of courses in modern CER methods as well as receive in-depth training in current theories and empirical CER studies aimed at preventing suicides and SRBs. An extensive network of collaboration exists among training faculty members with each other and with external collaborating in numerous high-profile CER studies focused on interventions to reduce suicides and SRBs. These projects will provide trainees with a rich array of mentored research training opportunities. We are requesting support for a total of six trainees: three predoctoral and three postdoctoral. Training will be a combination of coursework, training seminars led by core faculty, practica, and mentored research training in which CER methods are applied to important projects involving the prevention of suicides and SRBs. Diversity and health disparities will be major foci.
