China Collaborative Suicide Research Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：这是根据PAR-04-083提交的Fogarty国际创伤和伤害研究培训计划的申请。该申请将罗切斯特大学自杀研究与预防中心(CSPS)、北京大学精神卫生研究所的中国疾控中心国家精神卫生部门的同事以及北京回龙观医院的北京自杀研究与预防中心的同事们聚集在一起，组成了中国合作自杀研究培训计划(CCSRT)。其他合作机构包括香港大学香港赛马会自杀研究中心。香港中文大学(中大)精神病学系。 自杀是中国的一大公共卫生问题。它是第五大主要死因，也是15-34岁人群的主要死因。它的全国死亡率约为每100,000人中有23人死亡；在1995-1999年期间，约有287,000人死于自杀。与美国相比，中国的女性自杀率要高得多，农村地区和老年人的自杀率远远高于美国和其他国家。造成如此显著的流行病学对比的原因还没有得到充分的研究。基于对中国自杀诱因的迫切需要，以及我们自2001年以来与香港大学和香港中文大学达成的ICOHRTA的丰富经验，我们提出了四个目标：发展CCSRT的基础设施，专注于公共卫生和以人口为导向的研究和预防工作；招募和培训人才参与跨学科研究；开发和开展与中国自杀和自杀企图有关的研究，包括与自杀预防工作有关的研究；以及在整个资助期内系统地评估我们的招聘、培训和研究工作的成效。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is application for a Fogarty International Trauma and Injury Research Training Program submitted in response to PAR-04-083. The application brings together the University of Rochester's Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide (CSPS) with colleagues from the National Mental Health Unit of China CDC, based at the Institute of Mental Health of Peking University, and the Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Centre, based at the Beijing Hui Long Guan Hospital, to form the China Collaborative Suicide Research Training Program (CCSRT). Other collaborating institutions include the Hong Kong Jockey Club Suicide Research Centre of The University of Hong Kong (HKU). and the Department of Psychiatry of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Suicide is a major public health problem in China. It is the fifth leading cause of death overall, and the leading cause of death for individuals in the 15-34 year old age range. It has a national rate of approximately 23 deaths per 100,000; during 1995-1999, approximately 287,000 died by suicide. China, in contrast to the U.S., experiences much higher rates of suicide among women, and rates in rural regions and among elders that far exceed those in the U.S. and other countries. The reasons for such striking epidemiological contrasts are insufficiently studied. Based upon the urgency for better understanding the factors that contribute to suicide in China, and our substantial experience derived from our ICOHRTA with HKU and CUHK since 2001, we propose four aims: To develop the infrastructure of the CCSRT focusing on public health and population -oriented research and prevention efforts; to recruit and train talented individuals to participate in interdisciplinary research; to develop and conduct research pertaining to suicide and attempted suicide in China, including research related to suicide prevention efforts; and to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of our recruiting, training, and research efforts throughout the course of the grant period.
