Confidence in Global Mental Health Research

众所周知，年轻人早期的逆境与后来的心理健康有关。然而，世界各地年轻人经历的早期逆境的性质差异很大，迄今为止，许多研究都集中在高收入国家的数据上。在此，我们建议在全球三个主要地区的五个合作伙伴国家开发一系列项目，以解决与这些国家和地区直接相关的研究问题，并在这些国家建立研究能力，以确保我们帮助建立的项目和伙伴关系可以在该奖项的生命周期之后持续下去。确定的研究问题包括了解早期逆境对自杀和自杀意念的影响，探索心理和精神outomes的社会经济逆境的作用，并调查艾滋病毒/艾滋病对年轻人心理健康的影响。我们预计，随着项目的发展和伙伴关系的建立，这一名单将不断增加。最终，我们希望确定风险因素，然后制定针对性干预措施，以减轻全球精神疾病负担

Early adversity is known to be associated with later mental health in young people. However, the nature of the early adversities experienced by young people differs considerably across the world, and much research to date has focused on data from high income countries. Here we propose to develop a portfolio of projects across five partner countries spanning three major global regions, to address research questions of direct relevant to those countries and regions, and build research capacity in those countries to ensure that the projects and partnership we help to establish can be sustained beyond the lifetime of this award. The research questions identified include understanding the impact of early adversity on suicide and suicidal ideation, exploring the role of socioeconomic adversity of psychological and psychiatric outomes, and investigating the effects of HIV/AIDS on mental health in young people. We expect this list to grow as the project develops and partnerships are established. Ultimately, we hope to identify risk factors that we can then develop interventions to target, in order to reduce the global burden of mental illness
