Research Training Program in Psychiatric Epidemiology

项目概要/摘要 精神病流行病学的培训项目对于推进科学和发展越来越重要。 积极影响公共卫生的预防和干预工作。2020年的事件让斯塔克 关注美国的经济、地理、教育和种族不平等，这些不平等深深影响着人们的心理健康。 健康和幸福。他们加深了需要考虑如何社会环境和精神疾病 与健康的生物决定因素交叉，新的数据来源和技术正在迅速 加快，并计划加强公共精神卫生基础设施。近年来的变化 在精神疾病的发病率和流行率方面， 能力，正在影响精神病学研究的概念化，研究参与者的招募， 跨研究领域分析心理健康数据，这些因素将告知心理健康如何 被交付、访问和评估。自1972年以来，哥伦比亚精神病学流行病学培训（PET） 该计划产生了富有成效的科学家，他们在如何评估病因学方面成为领先的声音， 流行病学，生物学和心理健康奖学金和服务的干预，以应对新出现的 需求我们认为，该计划的成功是由于五个基本特征：1）理论培训- 和假设驱动的科学探究; 2）询问多层次的因果关系与动态 相互作用; 3）预测和因果推理方法的开发和应用; 4）应对 公共卫生和精神卫生的变化;以及5）培训和研究支持工作的道德原则 与弱势群体，如精神障碍患者。在接下来的五年里，我们 我们将继续通过奖学金和培训来发展这些领域。我们的关注吸引了来自 许多学科与我们的教师，课程和培训学者谁，然后成为领导者 具有跨学术和非学术环境的影响，评估社会和生物精神病学， 公平和交付，以及设计和评估循证治疗。这些学者更好 了解情况，他们的劳动力在接受培训后能够更好地对科学和实践产生重大影响， 询问多层次的框架，因果推理，以及社会因素影响病因学的方式， 诊断和获得护理系统。在PET计划的下一个发展阶段，我们将建立在 这些基础与额外的教师，培训和专业知识。通过平衡历史遗产的增长， 新的智力资源，PET计划将准备下一代学者， 变革者，以应对地球仪各地精神疾病患者面临的重大挑战。 通过PET计划培训的流行病学家拥有加强公众心理健康所需的技能 为未来的全球危机，包括流行病做好准备。

Project summary/abstract Training programs in psychiatric epidemiology are increasingly critical to advance science and develop prevention and intervention efforts that positively affect public health. The events of 2020 brought into stark focus the economic, geographic, educational, and racial inequalities in the US that deeply affect mental health and wellbeing. They deepen the need to consider how the social environment and psychiatric disorders intersect with biological determinants of health, for which new data sources and technology are rapidly accelerating, and to plan for strengthening of public mental health infrastructure. Changes in recent years in the incidence and prevalence of psychiatric disorders, and accelerating data collection and technological capacity, are impacting how psychiatric research is conceptualized, research participants are recruited, and mental health data are analyzed across research domains, and these factors will inform how mental healthcare is delivered, accessed, and evaluated. Since 1972, the Columbia Psychiatric Epidemiology Training (PET) program has produced productive scientists who emerge as leading voices on how to assess etiology, epidemiology, biology, and intervention in mental health scholarship and services to respond to emerging needs. We believe that the success of this program is due to five foundational features: 1) training in theory- and hypothesis-driven scientific inquiry; 2) interrogation of multiple levels of causation with dynamic interactions; 3) development and application of methods for prediction and causal inference; 4) responding to changes in public health and mental health; and 5) training and research in ethical principles that underpin work with disadvantaged populations such as those with mental disorders. In the next five years of our program, we will continue to grow each of these areas through scholarship and training. Our focus has drawn scholars from numerous disciplines to engage with our faculty, coursework, and training—scholars who then become leaders with impact across academic and non-academic settings assessing social and biological psychiatry, service equity and delivery, and designing and evaluating evidence-based treatments. These scholars are better informed and their workforce better situated to significantly impact science and practice when trained to interrogate multi-level frameworks, causal inference, and the ways in which social factors influence etiology, diagnosis, and access to systems of care. Over the next stage of growth of the PET program, we will build upon these foundations with additional faculty, training, and expertise. By balancing growth of historical legacies and new intellectual resources, the PET program will be poised to prepare the next generation of scholars and change-makers to address critical challenges among those with mental illness across the globe. Epidemiologists trained by the PET program have the skills necessary to strengthen the public mental health infrastructure to prepare for future global crises, including pandemics.
