Center for Collaborative Inner City Mental health Services Research (CCCR)

本申请寻求资金，以建立一个发展中心（P20），被称为中心协作内城儿童心理健康服务研究（CCCR）在西奈山医学院与合作：1）纽约州心理健康办公室; 2）两个代表内城青年的家庭和社区宣传委员会，家庭和社区（布朗克斯社区合作委员会和家庭倡导者研究委员会（FAR委员会）和3）纽约城市大学亨特学院社会工作学院，代表教育计划准备最大数量的硕士水平的心理健康提供者的颜色每年在纽约市。CCCR的目的是组织多学科研究人员开展儿童心理健康服务研究，旨在改善弱势青少年的整体健康和心理健康，这些青少年往往在城市环境中与情感和身体健康的重叠威胁作斗争。CCCR特别专注于开发和测试新的临床实践和服务提供模式，这些模式由现有的实证研究结果以及与研究人员，从业人员，青年和家庭之间的密切合作相关的结果提供信息。 来自P20的支持也将使CCCR教师专注于指导新的有色人种研究者，特别是那些在城市服务研究中具有直接临床实践经验的人，特别强调帮助下一代研究人员整合方法，这些方法具有足够的弹性，能够在“真实的世界”城市社区和心理健康实践环境中克服障碍，并将父母，青年，和心理健康提供者的观点。提出了两项研究。第一个研究的可行性，可接受性和初步影响的多层次服务的青少年有严重的破坏性行为的困难和学校失败。第二个试点研究了心理健康素养的概念，并错过了拉丁美洲成年照顾者参与心理健康服务的机会。

This application seeks funding to establish a Developing Center (P20), referred to as the Center for Collaborative Inner-City Child Mental Health Services Research (CCCR) at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in collaboration with: 1) the New York State Office of Mental Health; 2) two family and community advocacy boards representing inner-city youth, families and communities (Bronx Community Collaborative Board and the Family Advocates Research Board (FAR Board) and 3) Hunter College School of Social Work at the City University of New York, representing the educational program preparing the largest number of master's level mental health providers of color annually in New York City. The aim of the CCCR is to organize multi-disciplinary researchers on the conduct of child mental health services research meant to improve the overall health and mental health of vulnerable youth, too often struggling with overlapping threats to emotional and physical wellness within urban contexts. The CCCR is specifically focused on the development and testing of novel clinical practices and service delivery models that are informed by existing empirical findings, as well as the outcomes associated with intensive collaboration between researchers, practitioners, youth and families living in inner-city neighborhoods. Support from a P20 will also focus CCCR faculty on the mentoring of new investigators of color, particularly those with direct clinical practice experience in the conduct of urban services research with a particular emphasis on helping the next generation of researchers integrate methods that are sufficiently resilient to navigate obstacles within "real world" urban communities and mental health practice settings and that integrate parents, youth, and mental health providers, perspectives. Two research studies are proposed. The first examines the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary impact of a multi-level service for adolescents with serious disruptive behavioral difficulties and school failure. The second pilot examines the concept of mental health literacy and missed opportunities to engagement in mental health services among Latino adult caregivers.
