Assessment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Using Novel Web-Based Tools - Diversity Supplement C. Estrada

项目摘要 胎儿酒精谱系障碍(FASD)是最常见的发育障碍之一，但通常 被临床医生忽视了。FASD与面部特征、认知和行为的改变有关 功能，以及大脑结构。家长拨款的目的是部署基于网络的工具，以努力改善 FASD检测精度。其中一个这样的工具是大脑在线，这是一种开发出来的对认知和行为的测试 由家长助学金的私人侦探马特森博士主持。本附录将支持实习生塞莱斯特·埃斯特拉达，因为她 获得基于网络和面对面神经心理评估的技能，并为实现目标做出贡献 家长奖的获奖者。在PI的指导下，埃斯特拉达女士将学习实验设计， 神经心理评估和数据分析。她将进行一项独立的研究项目， 与父母资助的目标一致。在这个项目中，她将比较大脑在线上的表现 以英语为母语的个人到说多种语言的英语/西班牙语的个人。 患有FASD和对照的参与者将被包括在内。她将通过海报展示她的研究结果 演讲(例如，在酒精中毒研究学会和/或国际神经心理学会 (INS)会议)和同行评议的论文。她还将利用她先进的两文技能来进一步 调查语言和FASD在其他研究，如果她的初始项目有保证。 作为她的培训计划的一部分，塞莱斯特将完成一系列与研究伦理相对应的培训课程 和发展，包括圣地亚哥州立大学的人类研究保护计划(HRPP)教育产品。 塞莱斯特的最终目标是进入APA认可的临床心理学博士项目。AS 作为本申请中提出的研究和职业发展计划的一部分，她将与目前的 博士生，这将扩大她在实验室的经验，并提供学生的同行指导 他们最近成功地通过了博士项目的申请程序。这一点的支持 附加费将使埃斯特拉达女士能够在挣到钱的同时完成职业发展和研究活动 拥有硕士学位，从事研究产前酒精暴露的影响的职业。

Project Summary Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are one of the most common developmental disabilities but are often overlooked by clinicians. FASD is associated with alterations in facial characteristics, cognitive and behavioral functioning, and in brain structure. The aim of the parent grant is to deploy web-based tools in efforts to improve FASD detection accuracy. One such tool is BRAIN-online, a test of cognition and behavior that was developed by Dr. Mattson, the PI of the parent grant. This supplement will support the trainee, Celeste Estrada, as she acquires skills in both web-based and in-person neuropsychological assessments and contributes to the goals of the parent award. With mentorship from the PI, Ms. Estrada will learn about experimental design, neuropsychological assessment, and data analysis. She will conduct an independent research project that is consistent with the aims of the parent grant. In this project, she will compare performance on BRAIN-online in individuals who are Native English speakers to those who are multilingual English/Spanish speakers. Participants with FASD and controls will be included. She will present the results of her study through poster presentations (e.g., at the Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) an/or International Neuropsychological Society (INS) conferences) and peer-reviewed papers. She will also utilize her advanced biliteracy skills to further investigate language spoken and FASD in additional studies if warranted by her initial project. As part of her training plan, Celeste will complete a series of training courses corresponding to research ethics and development, including SDSU’s Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) educational offerings. Celeste’s ultimate goal is to gain admission into an APA-accredited doctoral program in clinical psychology. As part of the research and career development plan proposed in this application, she will learn alongside current doctoral students which will both broaden her experience in the lab and provide peer mentorship from students who have recently and successfully navigated the application process for doctoral programs. The support of this supplement will allow Ms. Estrada to complete career development and research activities as she earns her master’s degree and pursues a research career investigating the impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure.
