Northwestern University Patient-centered Intervention and Engagement Training

描述(由申请者提供)：西北大学-以患者为中心的干预和参与培训(NU-Patient)K12学者计划将促进一个丰富的环境，以培训明天的领先学者进行高影响力的以患者为中心的结果研究(PCOR)。我们将教授并使学者能够在两个至关重要的研究主题上进行比较有效性研究(CER)：以患者为中心的干预研究和患者参与和激活。这些独特的主题包括反映国家培训需求的领域，而NU在这方面尤为强势。NU-Patient将为培养具有必要的技术、方法和战略技能的下一代PCOR学者提供一个新的范例，以在其影响和应用方面开辟新的天地。我们提出了一个CER网络，将公共卫生与医学研究所(IPHAM)的方法学家、临床研究人员和利益相关者联系起来，包括其预防医学和医学社会科学合作部门，以及政策研究所的量化方法(Q)中心。我们的研究主题和培训资源的结合将针对变革和组织振兴方案的综合、高影响力的培训，在5年内推出10名独立学者。学者们将选择集中在以患者为中心的干预研究(患者报告的结果、临床试验或医疗系统变化)，在这里我们建议一个指导环境，帮助学者将患者的观点完全整合到临床试验数据的解释和医疗保健提供的改进的实施中；或者2)患者参与和激活(健康素养和沟通、风险分析和决策科学，以及e-Health/m-Health)，我们将提供患者和其他利益相关者参与的模型，帮助人们在充分了解风险和好处的情况下做出良好的决策，并在新技术的帮助下充分参与实施这些护理决策。我们对健康素养和沟通的重视有助于缩小健康差距。学者们将选择一个集中领域并在其他领域进行交叉培训，包括由IPHAM&Q中心和NU临床与翻译科学(NUCATS)研究所领导的教学培训：利益相关者伙伴关系、卫生公平和传播规划、比较有效性方法学、卫生保健工程和技术以及科学独立之路。我们已经确定了75名忠诚的教职员工，他们的工作重点是提案中概述的PCOR和CER，并专注于AHRQ优先人群。学者的计划将被调整为包括课程作业、专题研讨会和体验式(指导性研究)培训、正在进行的研究计划和利益相关者背景下的轮换，以及职业发展研讨会。该项目将在一个由PCOR高级领导人组成的执行委员会和一个评估委员会的领导下进行，该执行委员会与一个由科学家和利益相关者组成的外部顾问委员会密切合作，该委员会将监督对项目质量、学者经验和长期学者成功的严格评估。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Northwestern University-Patient-centered Intervention and Engagement Training (NU-PATIENT) K12 Scholars Program will promote a rich environment to train tomorrow's leading scholars to conduct high-impact patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). We will teach and enable scholars to conduct comparative effectiveness research (CER) across two critically-important research themes: Patient-centered intervention research and Patient engagement and activation. These unique themes comprise areas that reflect a national training need, and in which NU is particularly strong. NU-PATIENT will provide a new paradigm for fostering the next generation of PCOR Scholars with the range of technical, methodological and strategic skills necessary to break new ground in its impact and application. We propose a CER network, linking methodologists, clinical researchers and stakeholders across Centers of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM), its partner departments of Preventive Medicine and Medical Social Sciences, and the Quantitative Methods (Q) Center of the Institute for Policy Research. Our combination of research themes and training resources will be directed toward integrated, high-impact training in PCOR, launching 10 independent scholars over 5 years. Scholars will choose concentrations in Patient-centered Intervention Research (Patient Reported Outcomes, Clinical Trials or Health Systems Change), where we propose a mentoring environment to help scholars fully integrate the patient's perspective into the interpretation of clinical trial data and the implementation of improvements in health care delivery; or 2) Patient Engagement and Activation (Health Literacy and Communication, Risk Analysis and Decision Science, and e-Health / m-Health), where we will provide models of patient and other stakeholder engagement that help people make good decisions with full knowledge of risks and benefits, and fully engage in implementing those care decisions with the help of novel technology. Our emphasis on health literacy and communication helps reduce health disparities. Scholars will choose a concentration area and cross-train in other areas, including didactic training led by IPHAM & Q Centers and the NU Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute: Stakeholder Partnership, Health Equity, and Dissemination Planning, Comparative Effectiveness Methodologies, Engineering and Technology in Health Care, and Pathway to Scientific Independence. We have identified 75 committed faculty whose work centers on PCOR and CER outlined in the proposal and focus on AHRQ priority populations. Scholars' programs will be tailored to include coursework, topical seminars, and experiential (mentored research) training, rotations in ongoing research programs and stakeholder contexts, and career development seminars. This program will be conducted under the leadership of an executive committee of senior PCOR leaders working closely with an external advisory board of scientists and stakeholders, and an evaluation committee which will oversee rigorous evaluation of program quality, scholar experience, and long-term scholar success.
