RESEARCH TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH STATISTICS

这是继续进行精神健康统计(MHS)的请求 哥伦比亚大学生物统计分部提供的培训计划 大学公共卫生学院。卫生和公众服务部的项目培训统计学家 完成生物统计学博士学位要求 (博士后研究员)和心理健康研究人员已经持有 博士学位(博士后研究员)。通过这些互补性 计划，我们的目标是促进统计学家和 并培训专门从事心理健康研究的统计学家 精神病学研究作为一个应用领域。 博士前研究员学习高级统计学以获得博士或 P.H.生物统计学博士，还接受过精神病学方面的培训 病因学、精神病学流行病学和心理计量学。他们期待着 从事心理健康相关项目的合作研究。 博士后研究员通过赚取 生物统计学硕士学位。该计划的这一组成部分是 专为心理学家、精神病学家、社会学家或流行病学家设计 谁进行了关于心理健康问题的研究，谁想要 在定量方法方面有着异常透彻的背景。博士后 具有较强数量背景的申请者(例如，拥有 应用数学或数理统计)和对统计学的兴趣 遗传学也被邀请申请。这些申请者可能不需要工作 攻读生物统计学学位；相反，他们从事统计研究 精神病学方面的应用。他们通过以下方式了解心理健康研究 参加精神病因学和结构化评估课程，由 参加每周一次的研讨会，通过参加心理健康 相关研究项目。 博士后和博士后研究员彼此互动，与研究员 哥伦比亚大学的精神流行病学培训计划，以及 与哥伦比亚大学精神病学系和纽约大学的研究人员 州立精神病学研究所。研究的质量和广度 在这些机构开展的活动为卫生部提供了一个独特的机会 研究员将获得跨学科的精神健康和 统计学，以及统计遗传学。 在第17至21年的每一年里，我们都要求资助一名博士后 研究员和三名博士后研究员。

This is a request for a continuation of the Mental health Statistics (MHS) Training Program offered by the Division of Biostatistics at Columbia university's Sch of Public Health. The MHS program trains statisticians completing the requirements of doctoral degrees in biostatistics (predoctoral fellows) and mental health researchers already holding a doctoral degree (postdoctoral fellows). Through these complementary programs, we aim to facilitate collaboration between statisticians and mental health researchers and to train statisticians who will specialize in psychiatric research as an area of application. Predoctoral fellows study advanced statistics in order to earn the Ph.D. or Dr. P.H. in Biostatistics, and also receive training in psychiatric nosology, psychiatric epidemiology, and psychometrics. They are expected to engage in collaborative research on mental health related projects. Postdoctoral fellows receive training in biostatistics by earning a Master's degree in Biostatistics. This component of the program is designed for psychologist, psychiatrists, sociologists or epidemiologists who have conducted research on mental health problems and who want an unusually thorough background in quantitative methods. Postdoctoral applicants with strong quantitative background (e.g., a doctorate in applied mathematics or mathematical statistics) and interest in statistical genetics are also invited to apply. These applicants may not need to work toward a biostatistics degree; instead they engage in statistical research with psychiatric applications. They learn about mental health research by taking courses in psychiatric nosology and structured assessment, by attending the weekly seminars, and by participating in mental health related research projects. Postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows interact with each other, with fellows of Columbia University's Psychiatric Epidemiology training Program, and with researchers in Columbia's Psychiatry Department and at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. The quality and breadth of the research conducted at these institutions provides a unique opportunity for MHS fellows to obtain interdisciplinary training in mental health and statistics, as well as statistical genetics. In each of years 17 through 21, we request funding for one predoctoral fellow and three postdoctoral fellows.
