RISP for Mental Health Services in the Aftermath of Violence Against Women

描述（由申请人提供）：NIH/NIMH“桥接科学与服务”报告建议支持学术研究人员和公共医疗系统之间的合作伙伴关系，作为将心理健康研究与心理健康实践融合的一种方式。PA 04-015，“干预和实践研究基础设施计划”IP- RISP，源于该报告。它特别寻求“促进精神卫生研究人员和社区临床/服务人员，临床医生和患者/客户之间的积极，协同伙伴关系：（1）推进我们对社区环境中发展研究基础设施和建立合作伙伴关系的知识;（2）确定并纳入这些因素（例如，组织、社会文化、人际关系），这可能与高质量的护理和患者和客户的最佳结果有关;（3）在社区环境中进行测试适应性循证干预（治疗、康复和预防）。“目前的申请旨在与一个为家庭暴力或性暴力的女性受害者服务的社区专业护理机构合作，实现所有这三个目标。暴力侵害妇女行为是一个普遍存在的社会问题，往往给受害者造成严重的心理健康后果。这个R24 IP-RISP应用程序的目的是与一个成熟的家庭暴力-强奸危机心理健康服务组织合作，在社区环境中开发一个支持受虐妇女和强奸受害者心理健康服务合作研究的研究基础设施。这项申请有四个具体目标：（1）建立一个研究基础设施，支持开展与暴力侵害妇女行为有关的社区心理健康服务研究。(2)发展一个以社区为基础的专业护理机构的基础设施，以提高他们参与合作研究的能力。(3)在以社区为基础的机构环境中测试循证干预。(4)系统地评估一个合作研究过程的综合模型。在这些目标范围内，将进行五项研究。这些目标的实现将产生一个以社区为基础的研究基础设施，能够支持和维持与亲密暴力和性暴力的心理健康后果有关的各种研究。此外，合作研究的经验评估模型将提供给其他研究人员寻求桥梁心理健康研究和实践。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NIH/NIMH "Bridging Science and Service" report recommends supporting collaborative partnerships between academic researchers and public care systems as a way to fuse mental health research with mental health practice. PA 04-015, the "Interventions and Practice Research Infrastructure Program" IP- RISP, resulted from that report. It specifically seeks to "foster an active, synergistic partnership between mental health researchers and community-based, clinical/services staff, clinicians and patients/clients to: (1) advance our knowledge about developing research infrastructure in community settings and the establishment of collaborative partnerships; (2) identify and incorporate those factors (e.g., organizational, sociocultural, interpersonal) in community settings that may be associated with quality care and optimal outcomes for patients and clients; and (3) test adapted, evidence-based interventions (treatment, rehabilitative, and preventive) in community settings." The current application aims to address all three of these goals in collaboration with a community-based, specialty care agency serving female victims of domestic or sexual violence. Violence against women is a pervasive social problem, often resulting in severe mental health consequences for its victims. The purpose of this R24 IP-RISP application, then, is to collaborate with a well- established domestic violence-rape crisis mental health services organization to develop a research infrastructure in a community setting that is supportive of collaborative research on mental health services for battered women and rape victims. This application has 4 specific aims: (1) Develop a research infrastructure that supports conducting community-based mental health services research pertaining to violence against women. (2) Develop a community based, specialty care agency's infrastructure to enhance their capacity to engage in collaborative research. (3) Test an evidence-based intervention in a community-based agency setting. (4) Systematically evaluate an integrated model of the collaborative research process. Within these aims five studies will be conducted. The achievement of these aims will result in a community-based research infrastructure able to support and sustain a wide variety of research studies pertaining to the mental health consequences of intimate and sexual violence. Further, the empirically assessed model of collaborative research will be made available to other researchers seeking to bridge mental health research and practice.
