K23 Award to Study Intergenerational Conflict among West African Forced Migr

描述(由申请人提供)：申请人正在修改一份申请，要求为K23奖励提供五年的资金，以提高他在强迫移民家庭卫生服务研究方面的技能。他建议通过课程作业和有组织的指导，以及通过开发和实施一项比较被迫移民和自愿西非人代际冲突的研究，扩大和深化他的研究技能，以便使用改编自一般移民文献的干预措施，为被迫移民家庭提出干预点。虽然一些研究指出，移民后非洲被迫移民家庭的痛苦比率很高，但没有一项研究研究这种痛苦是大多数低收入非洲移民所共有的，还是那些有政治暴力历史的人所特有的，也没有研究这种痛苦是否对他们的子女有影响。 培训：申请者将利用K奖项获得定性研究方法、移民、受访者驱动的抽样、定性分析、多层次建模和社会网络分析方面的课程和指导。赞助商纽约大学移民健康中心医学博士硕士弗朗西丝卡·加尼将通过定期会议向移民人口提供关于医疗保健研究的经验观点。研究：申请者提出了一系列的三个研究项目来补充培训。第一项是关于西非社区如何讨论家庭问题的焦点小组研究，第二项是关于西非社区强迫和自愿移徙者代际冲突的调查，第三项是关于西非人的焦点小组研究，以解释第二项研究的结果，并为制定针对代际冲突的干预措施做准备。在K奖的最后一年，申请者将为后者的治疗开发和临床试验寻求资金。 环境：申请者是纽约大学医学院的助理教授，也是贝尔维尤/纽约大学酷刑幸存者计划(PSOT)的研究员，这是一家以医院为基础的诊所，专门研究难民和无依者的健康。他将与西非客户和PSOT的同事密切合作，解读研究结果。在追求这些目标的过程中，申请者将利用纽约大学医学院的资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant is revising a request for five years of funding for a K23 award to enhance his skills in health services research for forced migrant families. He proposes to broaden and deepen his research skill set through coursework and structured mentoring, and through the development and implementation of a study comparing intergenerational conflict in forced migrant and voluntary West Africans in order to propose points of intervention for forced migrant families using interventions adapted from the general immigrant literature. While a number of studies have pointed to high rates of distress among African forced migrant families post-migration, none have examined whether this distress is common to most low-income African immigrants or unique to those with a history of political violence, nor whether this distress has implications for their children. Training: The applicant will use the K award to acquire coursework and mentorship in qualitative research methods, immigration, respondent-driven sampling, qualitative analysis, multilevel modeling, and social network analysis. Sponsor Francesca Gany, MD, MS of the NYU Center for Immigrant Health will provide an experienced perspective on healthcare research with immigrant populations through regular meetings. Research: The applicant proposes a series of three research projects to complement the training. The first is a focus group study of how West African communities discuss family problems, the second is a survey of intergenerational conflict among both forced and voluntary migrants in West African communities, and the third is a focus group study West Africans to interpret findings from the second and prepare for the development of an intervention targeting intergenerational conflict. In the final year of the K award the applicant will seek funding for treatment development and clinical trials for the latter. Environment: The applicant is an Assistant Professor at the NYU School of Medicine and a researcher at the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture (PSOT), a hospital-based clinic specializing in refugee and asylee health. He will work closely with West African clients and colleagues at PSOT in interpreting research findings. In the pursuit of these goals, the applicant will draw upon the resources of NYU School of Medicine, field.
