PROGRAM FOR SERVICES RESEARCH ON SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS

印第安纳大学，与印第安纳州分部 心理健康与印第安纳大学/普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校 建议建立一个以智力为重点的研究基础设施计划 为严重精神病患者提供的卫生服务。目标是，与 中国人民解放军倡议，是将不同的学术团体， 实践者和公共部门研究人员在一个协作计划中 改进、丰富和扩大针对以下方面的总体研究工作 在NIMH的关怀中概述的研究议程的重要部分 严重精神障碍患者：改善服务的国家计划。 具体目标包括1)整合当前的服务研究工作 一群年轻但资深的研究人员，2)培养兴趣 和一群有前途的初级研究人员的潜力，以及平局 这两个群体都更直接地进入了更大的心理网络 卫生研究人员和研究努力。 为了实现这些目标，提出了两个关键机制。第一 机制是将核心参与者组织成实质性的 研究工作组开发和扩展一套独立但相关的 专注于社区和治疗界面的研究项目 系统。拟制定的四个主要分主题如下： 严重精神病患者的长期社区职业生涯； 法律和治疗制度；社区治疗模式；以及 访问/创建基于社区的纵向数据集。第二 机制包括一系列密集的培训和研究研讨会，以 核心参与者将在每年的八个周末举行。这些 密集的周末将带来重要的、成熟的心理健康服务 研究人员前往印第安纳大学让核心参与者了解 最前沿的问题。将向核心参与者通报最新情况 心理相关领域的艺术方法、测量和分析技巧 健康服务研究。将向CORE引入外部顾问 研究项目，并将开始积极和直接的咨询 当前和计划中的项目。 四项额外努力补充这些主要机制：L)信息 和资金，以增加核心教员在重大 国家活动；2)及早传播和及时出版 3月通过预印本系列的调查结果：3)可行性、试验性和 通过提供种子资金等资源进行继续研究， 研究人员和当地顾问；以及，4)与其他相关人员的联系 学术和公共组织。

Indiana University, in collaboration with the Indiana State Division of Mental Health and Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis, proposes to build a research infrastructure program focusing on mental health services for the severely mentally ill. The aim, consistent with the P.A.L. initiative, is to link a diverse group of academic, practitioner and public-sector researchers in a collaborative program to improve, enrich and expand the total research effort directed to significant parts of the research agenda outlined in NIMH's Caring for People with Severe Mental Disorders: A National Plan to Improve Services. Specific goals include 1) integrating the current service research efforts of a group of young but senior researchers, 2) developing the interests and potential of a promising group of junior researchers, and 3) tying both of these groups more directly into the larger network of mental health researchers and research efforts. Two key mechanisms are proposed to accomplish these aims. The first mechanism is to organize core participants into substantively based research work groups to develop and expand a set of separate but related research projects focusing on the interface of community and treatment systems. The four major subthemes to be developed are the following: the long-term community careers of the severely mentally ill; the interface of legal and treatment systems; community treatment models; and accessing/creating community-based, longitudinal data sets. The second mechanism involves a set of intensive training and research workshops for the core participants to be held during eight weekends each year. These intensive weekends will bring important, mature mental health service researchers to Indiana University to keep core participants informed on cutting edge issues. Core participants will be apprised of state-of-the- art methods, measures and analytic techniques in related areas of mental health services research. Outside consultants will be introduced to core research projects, and will begin active and direct consultation on current and planned projects. Four additional efforts supplement these main mechanisms: l) information and funds to increase participation of core faculty in significant national activities; 2) early dissemination and timely publication of march findings through a preprint series: 3) feasibility, pilot and continuation studies through provision of such resources as seed money, research staff and local consultants; and, 4) links with other related academic and public organizations.
