 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.

 产品说明：精神障碍是世界上造成残疾的主要原因之一，需要通过跨文化和适合具体情况的预防和干预战略，改进减轻其负担的战略。该培训计划的目标是培养下一代全球精神卫生研究人员，他们可以通过开展研究来促进我们对精神障碍的原因和后果的理解来满足这一需求;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;并严格审查将精神卫生服务纳入一般卫生系统以改善健康结果。该培训计划将是第一个提供正式的NIH资助的全球心理健康博士前培训和博士后研究员培训的项目，这些培训将纳入公共卫生框架，将基于人口的研究与预防和干预战略相结合。该培训计划将利用约翰霍普金斯大学全球心理研究的丰富资源，为学员提供领导多学科合作研究团队所需的技能和经验，以便在一系列低收入和中等收入国家开展重要研究。它将通过严格的流行病学，生物统计学，公共心理健康和全球心理健康课程计划，实地研究经验以及为学员提供全球心理健康核心专业坚实基础的综合活动来实现这一目标。 健康，同时让他们有机会在三个集中领域之一，建立在我们的公共卫生学院的优势，并被公认为高度优先的专业培训：（1）预防研究;（2）干预研究;或（3）心理健康服务研究的整合。该计划将包括5名博士前学生和2名博士后研究员，他们由11名核心教师和14名附属教师组成的经验丰富的团队提供支持，这些教师在一个或多个确定的集中领域具有专业知识。学员将准备承担领导职务在学术界开展全球心理健康研究，并将有能力建设和跨文化敏感的方式，这将是有用的许多美国为基础的机构（即NIMH，SAMHSA，疾病预防控制中心），往往支持研究和服务在多元文化和有限的资源设置在美国以及合作的技能。巴斯博士是NIMH资助的培训项目的毕业生，也是一位在全球心理健康方面具有专业知识的有成就的教员。她准备在精神卫生，流行病学和国际卫生部门的丰富机会的基础上建立这个新项目，并以培养下一代全球精神卫生研究人员的方式领导它。
