 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：精神障碍是世界上混乱的主要原因之一，通过跨文化和上下文适当的预防和干预策略，需要改进减少伯恩的策略。该培训计划的目的是创造下一代全球心理健康研究人员，他们可以通过进行研究来满足这一需求，以促进我们对精神障碍的原因和后果的理解；开发，实施和评估合理设计的干预措施，以预防和控制这些疾病；并严格检查将心理健康服务整合到一般卫生系统中以改善健康结果。该培训计划将是第一个在全球心理健康和全球心理健康和培训方面提供正式资助的博士后培训的培训计划，用于嵌入公共健康框架中的博士后研究员，该培训将基于人群的研究与预防和干预策略相结合。该培训计划将利用约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）的全球心理研究的丰富资源，为受训者提供领导多学科，协作研究团队所需的技能和经验，以在一系列低低收入国家 /地区进行重要的研究。它将通过一项严格的流行病学，生物统计学，公共心理健康和全球心理健康，基于现场的研究经验以及整合活动的课程工作的计划来实现这一目标，从而为受训者提供了全球精神核心的良好基础 健康的同时使他们有机会在我们公共卫生学院内的优势基于优势的三个集中领域之一进行专业培训，并被公认为高优先级：（1）预防研究； （2）干预研究；或（3）精神卫生服务研究的整合。该计划将包括5名博士后学生和2名博士后研究员，这些研究员得到了一个经验丰富的11个核心教师的支持和14名在一个或多个确定的集中领域的专业知识的会员教师。学员将准备在全球心理健康研究中担任学术界的领导职务，并具有跨文化敏感方式的能力建设和协作技能，这对许多美国机构（即NIMH，SAMHSA，CD​​C）非常有用，这些机构经常支持美国在美国的多文化和有限资源设置中的研究和服务。该计划主任Bass博士是NIMH资助的培训计划的毕业生，并且是一位具有全球心理健康专业知识的教师。她被毒死以在心理健康，流行病学和国际健康部门内的丰富机会建立这一新计划，并以准备下一代研究人员在全球心理健康方面的准备。
