FLORIDA NODE OF THE DRUG ABUSE CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK

这是一项建立国家药物滥用治疗临床试验网络（CTN）佛罗里达区域节点的提案。迈阿密大学的四个主要研究中心已加入为区域研究和培训中心（RRTC）提供大量临床试验，多地点和药物滥用治疗专业知识：家庭研究中心，综合药物研究中心，青少年药物滥用治疗研究中心和行为医学研究中心。当选的社区治疗方案是该州最大和最受尊敬的方案之一，代表了北部（杰克逊维尔的网关）、中部（坦帕的PAR;奥兰多的无毒生活中心）和南部（迈阿密的村庄;布劳沃德县的光谱）。它们提供了极为多样的治疗方式、种族特征以及吸毒和吸毒成瘾人口。在第一年，佛罗里达节点有能力为多达20,000名吸毒和成瘾患者提供服务。佛罗里达节点指导委员会包括5个CTP的领导人，PI，和协调员/行动总监其他每个团队还包括RRTC和CTP代表：临床试验培训和实施监测，概念开发和生物统计学/数据管理。在这种伙伴关系中，RRTC和CTP都渴望相互学习，并渴望了解可以从其他节点转移到佛罗里达治疗方案的有效治疗模式。佛罗里达节点区域康复和治疗中心制定并公布了有效的家庭治疗模式，并在针对吸毒人群（青少年吸毒者、吸毒成瘾的新母亲、间歇性吸毒的艾滋病毒阳性妇女）和艾滋病毒阳性人群（预防艾滋病毒传播、改善个人和家庭功能的家庭生态疗法）的家庭干预方面发挥了相当大的作用。该节点在这些领域的兴趣包括干预措施的可移植性以及在纵向设计中汇总家庭数据的统计方法问题。佛罗里达节点的工作面临的特殊挑战包括跨越地理距离的通信和协作。促进因素包括渴望提供优质服务，有兴趣使用结果数据更新国家治疗资助政策，承认国家和国家的时代精神的责任，以及新世纪研究所保护伞下的CTP之间的合作，以促进该集团的治疗和研究能力。

This is a proposal to establish the Florida Regional Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN). Four major research centers at the University of Miami have joined to provide the Regional Research and Training Center (RRTC) with their considerable clinical trials, multi-site, and drug abuse treatment expertise: Center for Family Studies, Comprehensive Drug Research Center, Center for Treatment Research on Adolescent Drug Abuse, and Behavioral Medicine Research Center. The Community Treatment Programs (CTPs) elected are among the largest and most respected in the State, representing the north(Gateway in Jacksonville), central (PAR in Tampa; Center for Drug Free Living in Orlando) and south (The Village in Miami; Spectrum in Broward County) pats of the State. They offer exceptional diversity of treatment modalities, ethnic profiles, and drug abusing and addicted populations. In the first year, The Florida Node has the capacity of serving up to 20,000 drug abusing and addicted patients. The Florida Node Steering Committee includes the leaders of the 5 CTPs, the P.I., and the Co-P.I/Operations Director. Each of the other teams also include RRTC and CTP representation: Clinical Trials Training and Implementation Monitoring, Concept Development, and Biostatistics/Data Management. In this partnership both the RRTC and the CTPs are eager to learn from each other, and eager to learn about efficacious treatment models that can be transported from other nodes to Florida's treatment programs. The Florida Node RRTC has developed and published efficacious family- based treatment models and brings considerable strength in family-based interventions with drug abusing populations (adolescent drug abusers, drug addicted new mothers, HIV+ women using drugs intermittently) and with HIV+ populations (HIV transmission prevention, family ecological therapy to improve individual and family functioning). The Node's interests in these areas range from transportability of interventions to statistical methodological issues in aggregating family data in longitudinal designs. Particular challenges to the work of the Florida Node include communication and collaboration across geographic distance. Facilitators include eagerness to provide quality services, interest in using outcome data to update state treatment funding policies, recognition of a zeitgeist in the state and the nation of accountability, and prior collaboration among the CTP under the New Century Institute umbrella to promote the group's treatment and research competence.
