Family Research Consortium V: Transdisciplinary Consortium on Mental Health Co-O

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是一项资金请求，以支持非常成功的家庭研究联盟（FRC）在心理健康、共现疾病和家庭跨学科联盟（FRC V）中继续开展合作研究。作为20年前开始的第五代合作倡议，FRC V将借鉴其前身-不同人群中的过渡、家庭和心理健康联盟（FRC IV）的成就。然而，拟议的新联盟具有独特的功能，重建的教师队伍和一系列新的活动，以继续推进心理健康和家庭科学。FRC V的重点将是同时发生的精神疾病的影响（例如，情感/焦虑诊断或与药物/酒精滥用同时发生的人格障碍），在跨学科框架内概念化，并强调翻译干预。该联盟将继续财务审查委员会的传统，即审慎、仔细地关注民族、种族、文化和经济多样性，并在这一新的迭代中，将特别关注母亲的作用（她们通常是儿童和其他成年人的主要照顾者，其自身的调整可能对他人产生重大的溢出效应）。家庭研究联合会最初成立的目的是促进全国学者之间在家庭和心理健康相关问题上的知识交流和合作。该联合会的活动将特别集中于科摩罗在五个广泛领域的影响和后果：1）科摩罗和人类生产力：社会成本; 2）儿童和青少年的共病问题; 3）科摩罗的性别差异：途径和影响; 4）种族，民族和其他少数民族的科摩罗; 5）心理健康和物质用途：预防、治疗和政策拟议中的FRC-V联盟的具体目标是（1）促进不同家庭群体中共病精神障碍研究方面的知识交流和合作研究和培训，因为它们影响家庭成员的福祉和复原力;（2）促进关于共同体对养育子女和家庭关系的影响的创新、实质性、理论和方法知识;以及（3）考虑多个影响级别的证据，采用转化方法：a）在多种情况下，在多层次调查中，优先考虑不同家庭的突出风险和保护程序; B）设计适当的、与文化相关的干预措施;以及c）通过传播研究进展为州和国家一级的政策提供信息。今天，相当多的人在滥用药物的同时患有严重的精神疾病（如抑郁症或焦虑症）。这些人往往会在治疗系统之间的差距中失败，往往会给社会带来高昂的代价。这项建议将汇集研究与并发疾病有关的风险和保护因素的主要科学家，目的是（a）综合尖端知识，（B）将这些知识转化为针对不同家庭群体的有效预防和治疗战略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request for funds to support continuing collaborative research efforts of the highly successful Family Research Consortium (FRC), in the Transdisciplinary Consortium on Mental Health, Co- occurring disorders, and Families (FRC V). As the fifth generation of a collaborative initiative that began 20 years ago, FRC V will draw upon the accomplishments of its predecessor, the Consortium on Transitions, Families, and Mental Health in Diverse Populations (FRC IV). However, the proposed new consortium has a distinctive function, a reconstructed faculty, and a new set of activities to continue the advancement of science on mental health and families. The focus of FRC V will be on the effects of co-occurring psychiatric disorders (e.g., affective/anxiety diagnoses or personality disorders co-occurring with drug/alcohol abuse), conceptualized within a transdisciplinary framework and with emphasis on translational interventions. This Consortium will continue the FRC tradition of deliberate, careful attention to ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic diversity and in this new iteration, will bring concerted attention, in particular, to the role of mothers (who are generally primary caregivers of children and other adults, and whose own adjustment can have major spillover effects on others). The Family Research Consortium was initially established in order to promote intellectual exchange and collaboration among scholars across the nation on issues related to families and mental health. The activities of this consortium will focus specifically on the implications and consequences of comorbidity in five broad areas: 1) Comorbidity and human productivity: Costs to society; 2) Comorbid problems in childhood and adolescence; 3) Gender differences in comorbidity: Pathways and Implications; 4) Comorbidity in racial, ethnic, and other minorities; 5) Mental health and substance use: Prevention, treatments, and policies The specific aims of the proposed FRC-V consortium are (1) to promote intellectual exchange and collaborative research and training in the study of comorbid psychiatric disorders among diverse groups of families, as they influence the well-being and resilience of family members; (2) to advance innovative, substantive, theoretical and methodological knowledge on the ramifications of comorbidity for parenting and family relations; and (3) to consider evidence across multiple levels of influence, using a translational approach a) to prioritize salient risk and protective processes for diverse families in multiple contexts and across multiple levels of inquiry; b) to design appropriate and culturally relevant interventions; and c) to inform policies at state and national levels through dissemination of research advancements. to public health A significant number of people today suffer from serious mental illnesses (such as depression or anxiety) simultaneously with substance abuse. These individuals tend to fall through the gaps between treatment systems, often at high costs to society. This proposal will bring together leading scientists who study risk and protective factors implicated in co-occurring disorders, with the aims of (a) synthesizing cutting-edge knowledge and (b) translating this knowledge into effective prevention and treatment strategies for diverse groups of families.
