International Collaborative Alcohol & Injury Research Training Program in Poland

减少与酒精有关的故意和非故意伤害造成的死亡和残疾是一项重大的 世界卫生组织的全球健康目标。酒精的使用与大量的 车祸、福尔斯和火灾造成的伤亡比例。在波兰和其他东欧国家 欧洲国家经历了迅速的社会和文化变革， 极高的人均酒精消费量和与酒精有关的伤害率的上升已成为 至关重要的国家问题。伤害和创伤是造成死亡的第三大原因， 波兰，与酒精有关的死亡率最高。发展基础设施， 波兰的伤害和酒精研究和预防能力将解决不断升级的公共卫生问题 这一问题有可能对该地区造成毁灭性的健康和经济后果， 未来几十年。为了实现这一目标，将通过以下方式建立一个多层次的研究培训计划： 密歇根大学（UM）和弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学（WMU）的研究人员合作 和其他几个波兰的学术医疗机构。这建立在成功的培训和研究的基础上 UM和波兰科学家在神经病学和精神病学研究所的合作，以及医学 华沙大学专注于物质使用障碍。这种新的具体伤害和酒精合作 汇集了酒精相关伤害预防、EMS/创伤服务、精神病学、公共卫生、 健康，和运输研究在UM与发展中国家的专业知识，在伤害和创伤医学， 为提高波兰的培训和研究能力，一个财团在 弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学和学术医疗和公共卫生地点在整个波兰将 通过这种合作努力。该计划将在UM培训访问波兰科学家的酒精 和伤害研究方法，并制定指导研究计划，解决当前的问题， 在酒精和伤害的预防，治疗和评估在波兰。波兰的研究基础设施， 通过提供一个基本的核心， 临床科学家能够进行独立的研究项目和开发新的编程 来解决急诊医学和公共卫生中的这一关键问题。 公共卫生相关性：人均酒精消费量和酒精相关伤害的高水平， 加上有限的研究基础设施来解决这些问题， 对波兰和其他前苏联集团国家的挑战。该培训计划将发展 波兰进行高质量伤害和创伤研究的能力，可以作为整个地区的核心 联合会的目标是解决这些发展中国家日益严重的医疗保健负担。

Reducing death and disability caused by alcohol-related intentional and non-intentional injuries is a major world-wide health goal for the World Health Organization. Alcohol use has been linked with a substantial proportion of injuries and deaths from motor vehicle crashes, falls, and fires. In Poland and other Eastern European countries that have been experiencing rapid social and cultural changes, problems related to extremely high per capita alcohol consumption and the rising rate of alcohol-related injury have become critically important national concerns. Injury and trauma constitute the third leading cause of death in Poland, with a preponderance of alcohol-related mortality. Developing an infrastructure to expand the capacity for injury and alcohol research and prevention in Poland will address an escalating public health problem that has the potential for devastating health and economic consequences to this region over the next decades. To accomplish this goal, a multi-tiered research training program will be established through collaboration among researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) and Wroclaw Medical University (WMU) and several other academic medical settings in Poland. This builds on a successful training and research collaboration between UM and Polish scientists at the Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry, and the Medical College of Warsaw focused on substance use disorders. This new specific injury and alcohol collaboration brings together expertise in alcohol-related injury prevention, EMS/Trauma services, psychiatry, public health, and transportation research at UM with a developing expertise in injury and trauma medicine and public health at WMU in order to increase training and research capacity in Poland. A consortium at Wroclaw Medical University and academic medical and public health locations throughout Poland will be fostered through this collaborative effort. The program will train visiting Polish scientists at the UM in alcohol and injury research methodology, and develop mentored programs of research that address current issues in alcohol and injury prevention, treatment, and evaluation in Poland. The Polish research infrastructure for addressing substance abuse-related injuries will be improved by the provision of an essential core of clinician scientists capable of conducting independent research projects and developing new programming to address this critical issue in emergency medicine and public health. Public Health Relevance: The high levels of per capita alcohol consumption and alcohol-related injuries, combined with a limited research infrastructure to address these issues, present significant public health challenges to Poland and other former Soviet-bloc countries. This proposed training program will develop the capacity for high quality injury and trauma research in Poland that can serve as the core of a region-wide consortium to address a growing, critical health care burden in these developing countries.
