Behavioral Research in Heart and Vascular Disease

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究培训计划的目标仍然是个人的研究职业的博士前和博士后培训，旨在更好地了解与心血管健康，疾病，风险相关的行为机制，以及旨在预防或控制疾病和促进心血管健康状况改善的干预措施和社区合作伙伴关系的调查。该计划的基本原理是使用一个模型的早期接触的学员教师导师和他们的研究作为一种手段的社会化的学员对他们未来的职业活动。受训人员来自相关的卫生专业，特别是医学、公共卫生、护理以及包括健康教育、行为科学、营养学、心理学、社会学、经济学、人类学和公共政策在内的学科。该方案旨在教育具有卫生专业背景的学员开展更多的行为导向研究，并教育具有行为科学背景的学员将其研究应用于心血管健康和疾病。这些相辅相成的重点，继续被视为重要的建立所需的多学科研究的人力资源基础，以解决与公众健康有关的心血管问题。招聘教师是为了反映这种跨学科的基础，并为学员的职业发展提供适当的榜样。该方案取得了成功，并继续致力于吸引高素质的少数民族受训人员，并进一步强调少数民族和妇女的心血管疾病和风险。该计划仍然是医学，公共卫生和护理学院之间的强有力的合作之一。到目前为止，100名博士后和58名博士前实习生已经毕业，7名博士后和1名博士前实习生正在工作。这些包括具有医学博士，博士学位的个人的混合物，特别是在行为科学和公共卫生领域。继续向受训人员提供各种研究活动，如预防高血压的饮食和体育活动干预措施;以社区为基础的减少心血管病风险;少数群体的心血管病风险;以及设施。该计划继续对公众的健康具有重要意义，培训未来的研究人员，以更好地了解，治疗和预防心脏和血管疾病及其相关风险。这些受训人员掌握的新知识及其应用将改善全国特别是高风险得不到充分服务的少数民族人口中高血压等问题的预防和控制。该计划直接关系到公众的健康，培训未来的研究人员，以更好地了解，预防和治疗心脏和血管疾病及其相关的风险因素。因此，这些新知识，由这些受训人员开发，是重要的，以解决我们的头号健康问题-心脏病

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this Research Training Program continues to be the pre-and post-doctoral training of individuals for investigative careers directed at the improved understanding of behavioral mechanisms associated with cardiovascular health, illness, risk, and the investigation of interventions and community partnerships designed to prevent or control disease and promote enhancement of cardiovascular health status. The rationale of the program uses a model of early exposure of trainees to faculty mentors and their research as a means of socialization of trainees toward their future career activities. Trainees are recruited from the relevant health professions, in particular, Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and disciplines which include Health Education, Behavioral Sciences, Nutrition, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Anthropology, and Public Policy. The Program is designed to educate trainees with a background in the health professions to develop more behaviorally oriented research and trainees with a background in the behavioral sciences to apply their research to cardiovascular health and illness. These complementary emphases continue to be viewed as important to building the necessary multi-disciplinary research manpower base to address cardiovascular problems relevant to the heath of the public. The faculty have been recruited to reflect this interdisciplinary base and provide appropriate role models for trainee career development. The Program has been successful and remains committed to attracting highly qualified minority trainees and placing further emphasis on cardiovascular disease and risk in minorities and women. The Program continues to be a strong collaborative one between the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing. To date 100 postdoctoral and 58 pre-doctoral trainees have graduated with 7 current postdoctoral and 1 predoctoral trainees active. These include a mixture of individuals with MD's, PhD's, particularly in Behavioral Science and Public Health. A variety of research activities such as dietary and physical activity interventions to prevent high blood pressure; community-based cardiovascular risk reduction; and cardiovascular risk in minority populations; as well as facilities continue to be made available to trainees. This program continues to be significant for the health of the public, in its training of future investigators to understand, treat, and prevent heart and vascular diseases, and their associated risks, better. The new knowledge and its application, developed by these trainees, will improve the prevention and control of problems, such as hypertension, nationally, and in high risk underserved minority populations in particular. This program is directly relevant to the health of the public in its training of future investigators to understand, prevent and treat heart and vascular diseases and their associated risk factors better. Thus, this new knowledge, developed by these trainees, is important to addressing our number one health problem-heart disease
