Center for Drug Abuse Prevention in the Child Welfare System

描述（由申请人提供）： 此应用程序是一个P30中心的药物滥用预防儿童福利系统（CDAP-CWS）。该中心将继续支持最初通过NIDA P20机制建立的基础设施，以便系统地整合和扩展旨在促进化学武器系统科学、实践和政策的工作。拟议的中心旨在实现以下目标：（a）进一步明确概念模型，为制定与CWS儿童和家庭有关的干预措施提供信息;（B）将循证干预措施的实施纳入CWS的日常实践，最终目标是（c）减少CWS人群中药物滥用和相关问题的发生率。中心将由两个核心组成。行政核心将提供共享资源，领导和监督，以整合和扩展我们当前，以前和计划中的CWS研究的知识;促进与CWS研究人员的合作，向学术和社会政策界传播关键发现;支持7-10项试点研究;并促进早期职业科学家的专业发展。能力提升核心项目将提供基础设施，通过以下三个领域的活动，将与预防CWS药物滥用有关的新的关键领域纳入我们目前和未来的研究：计算CWS中基于证据的干预措施对安置结果的成本和直接收益，提高我们实施药物滥用预防干预措施的能力，这些干预措施以生物社会措施和应激神经生物学方法为依据或结合这些措施和方法和遗传学，并促进我们对父亲的作用，药物滥用和儿童在CWS家庭的结果的理解。拟议的工作包括11名多学科科学家（包括5名早期职业调查人员），并将利用我们的32个联邦资助项目的基础。这两个核心将协同工作，并在当前和未来的项目中提供共享资源，以通报旨在预防CWS家庭药物滥用的具体干预措施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a P30 Center for Drug Abuse Prevention in the Child Welfare System (CDAP-CWS). The Center would continue support for an infrastructure that was originally created through a NIDA P20 mechanism for the systematic integration and extension of work aimed at CWS science, practice, and policy. The proposed Center aims to accomplish the following: (a) further specify conceptual models to inform the development of interventions relevant to CWS children and families, (b) increase the implementation of evidence-based interventions into routine CWS practice, with the ultimate goal of (c) reducing the incidence of drug abuse and related problems in CWS populations. Two cores will comprise the Center. The Administrative Core will provide shared resources, leadership, and oversight to integrate and extend knowledge from our current, previous, and planned CWS studies; facilitate collaborations with CWS researchers to disseminate key findings to academic and social policy communities; support 7-10 pilot studies; and facilitate the professional development of early career scientists. The Capacity Enhancement Core will provide the infrastructure to incorporate new key areas related to CWS drug abuse prevention into our current and future studies through activities in three areas: calculating the costs and immediate benefits of evidence-based interventions in the CWS on placement outcomes, improving our ability to implement drug abuse preventive interventions that are informed by or incorporate biosocial measures and methods of stress neurobiology and genetics, and facilitating our understanding of the role of fathers, drug abuse, and child outcomes in CWS families. The proposed work includes 11 multidisciplinary scientists (including 5 early career investigators) and will utilize our base of 32 federally funded projects. The two cores will work synergistically and provide shared resources among current and future projects to inform specific interventions aimed at preventing drug abuse in CWS families.
