Interdisciplinary Research Training on Violence

描述（由申请人提供）：这个跨学科研究准备的总体目标是培训护理、公共卫生和医学学者，通过设计和评估一级、二级和三级干预措施，以及相关流行病学和临床风险因素分析和理论测试研究的政策和实践，解决暴力及其身心障碍后遗症的预防、识别和改善问题。这些学者将在以下内容领域获得跨学科培训：1)家庭和社区暴力的风险因素、身心健康和病理结果；2)暴力的病因和后果中的社会心理、精神病理、神经生理、结构和文化相互作用；种族和文化对暴力行为和结果的影响，包括暴力如何在发病率和死亡率方面造成更多的健康差异，以及获得护理方面的健康差异如何导致少数民族人口因暴力而产生更严重的身心健康后果，4)文化上适当的干预和评价，5)开展与暴力有关的研究中的道德问题和社会责任，6)暴力相关研究的多种方法途径。还有更多的机会在艾滋病毒/艾滋病界面、国际暴力研究和神经生理前因和后遗症方面进行培训。我们已经成功地培养了12名博士前研究员和2名博士后，在短短4年的时间里，利用该机制的机构支持和个人支持。现在每个博士预科职位有3-4名合格申请者，2003年的一个博士后职位有10名高素质申请者，随着JHU在暴力、心理健康和/或艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的研究专业知识的增加，我们扩大了我们的核心教师队伍。因此，这一竞争性继续谋求扩大对培训的支持，从1名博士后增加到3名，从5名博士前研究员增加到8名，增加1个博士前职位，为暴力、艾滋病毒/艾滋病的相互作用保留1个博士后职位，并为BSPH国际卫生部门增加2个职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this interdisciplinary research preparation is to train nursing, public health and medical scholars to address the prevention, identification, and amelioration of violence and its physical and mental disorder sequelae through the design and evaluation of primary, secondary and tertiary interventions, and policy and practice relevant epidemiological and clinical risk factor analysis and theory testing studies. These scholars will obtain interdisciplinary training in the content areas of: 1) risk factors for and physical and mental health and pathology outcomes of family and community violence, 2) psychosocial, psychopathological, neurophysiological, structural, and cultural interactions in the etiology and consequences of violence, 3) social, ethnic and cultural influences on acts of violence and outcomes including how violence results in additional health disparities in morbidity and mortality and how health disparities in access to care can result in more severe physical and mental health outcomes from violence for ethnic minority populations, 4) culturally appropriate interventions and evaluations, 5) ethical issues and social responsibility in the conduct of violence related research, and 6) multiple methods approaches to violence related research. Additional opportunities for training in the HIV/AIDS interface, international research on violence, and neurophysiological antecedents and sequelae are also available. We have successfully trained 12 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral fellows in the four short years since initial funding using a combination of the institutional support of this mechanism and individual NRSA support. We now have 3-4 qualified applicants for each predoctoral position and had 10 highly qualified applicants for the one post doctoral opening for 2003, and we have expanded our Core Faculty as research expertise in violence and mental health and/or HIV/AIDS increases across JHU. Therefore, this competing continuation seeks to expand the support for training from 1 post doctoral fellow to 3, and from 5 predoctoral fellows to 8, adding one additional predoctoral position and reserving one of the postdoctoral positions for the interface of violence HIV/AIDS, plus adding 2 positions for the BSPH Department of International Health.
