 DESCRIPTION: Mental disorders are among the leading causes of disability in the world, and improved strategies to reduce their burden are needed through cross-culturally and contextually appropriate prevention and intervention strategies. The goal of this training program is to produce the next generation of global mental health researchers who can address this need by conducting research to advance our understanding of causes and consequences of mental disorders; developing, implementing, and evaluating rationally designed interventions to prevent and control these disorders; and critically examining integration of mental health services into general health systems to improve health outcomes. This training program would be the first of its kind to provide formal NIH-funded pre-doctoral training in global mental health and training for post-doctoral fellows embedded within a public health framework integrating population-based research with prevention and intervention strategies. This training program will capitalize on the rich resources for global mental research at the Johns Hopkins University to provide trainees with the skills and experiences needed to lead multi-disciplinary, collaborative research teams to conduct important research in a range of low- and middle-income countries. It will achieve this through a rigorous program of coursework in epidemiology, biostatistics, public mental health and global mental health, field-based research experiences, and integrative activities that provide trainees with a solid foundation in the core proficiencies of global mental health while giving them the opportunity to pursue specialized training in one of three concentration areas that build on strengths within our School of Public Health and are recognized as high priority: (1) Prevention Research; (2) Intervention Research; or (3) Integration of Mental Health Services Research. The program will include 5 pre-doctoral students and 2 post-doctoral fellows who are supported by an experienced group of 11 Core Faculty and 14 Affiliate Faculty with expertise in one or more of the identified concentration areas. Trainees will be prepared to assume leadership positions in academia carrying out global mental health research and will have skills for capacity building and collaboration in cross-culturally sensitive ways that will be useful for many US-based agencies (i.e. NIMH, SAMHSA, CDC) that often support research and services in multi-cultural and limited resource settings in the U.S. as well. The program director, Dr. Bass, is a graduate of an NIMH-funded training program and an accomplished faculty member with expertise in global mental health. She is poised to build on the rich opportunities within the Departments of Mental Health, Epidemiology and International Health to build this new program and lead it in ways that prepare the next generation of researchers in global mental health.

 描述：精神障碍是世界上导致残疾的主要原因之一，需要通过跨文化和背景适当的预防和干预战略来改进战略，以减轻他们的负担。这一培训计划的目标是培养下一代全球精神卫生研究人员，他们能够通过开展研究来促进我们对精神障碍的原因和后果的了解；开发、实施和评估合理设计的干预措施来预防和控制这些疾病；以及批判性地检查精神卫生服务与一般卫生系统的整合以改善健康结果。这一培训计划将是第一个由美国国立卫生研究院资助的全球心理健康正式博士前培训，并为嵌入公共卫生框架的博士后研究员提供培训，将以人口为基础的研究与预防和干预战略相结合。这一培训计划将利用约翰·霍普金斯大学丰富的全球精神研究资源，为学员提供所需的技能和经验，以领导多学科、协作的研究团队在一系列低收入和中等收入国家进行重要研究。它将通过流行病学、生物统计学、公共精神卫生和全球精神卫生的严格课程计划、实地研究经验和综合活动来实现这一点，为受训人员提供全球精神卫生核心能力的坚实基础 同时让他们有机会在以下三个重点领域之一进行专门培训：(1)预防研究；(2)干预研究；或(3)精神健康服务研究。该计划将包括5名博士后学生和2名博士后研究员，他们得到一个由11个核心学院和14个附属学院组成的经验丰富的小组的支持，这些学院在一个或多个已确定的集中领域具有专业知识。学员将准备好在学术界担任领导职位，开展全球心理健康研究，并将拥有跨文化敏感方式的能力建设和合作技能，这将对许多总部位于美国的机构(如NIMH、SAMHSA、CDC)有用，这些机构经常支持美国多文化和有限资源环境中的研究和服务。项目主任巴斯博士毕业于NIMH资助的一个培训项目，是一名在全球心理健康方面拥有专业知识的资深教职员工。她准备利用精神卫生、流行病学和国际卫生部门的丰富机会来建立这个新的项目，并以培养全球心理健康领域的下一代研究人员的方式来领导它。
