这一多样性补充将嵌套在健康大脑和儿童发展国家联盟 (HBCD-NC)加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)网站上的研究(U01DA055369联系MPI：Bandoli)。 家长资助的总体目标是开发一个标准化的大脑发育模板，以应对 在生命的头十年里，有各种不同的曝光。为了实现这一目标，NIH选择了加州大学圣迭戈分校和其他25个地点 在美国各地招募和跟踪7500名具有代表性的多样化母婴队列 成对的。因此，一个具有多样性和代表性的美国人口群体也必须包括移民 以及那些来自中东和北非(中东和北非)的人。上当前没有类别 美国人口普查那些中东和北非起源的人，因为他们被折叠成‘白人’样本。鉴于从历史上看 美国优先接收来自许多中东和北非国家的难民，其中相当大的比例是 在加利福尼亚州收到的，重要的是为在美国分娩的中东和北非妇女的扩大做准备。一点儿 众所周知，中东和北非地区妇女在怀孕期间的行为和暴露，特别是在尊重 物质使用，或这一人群的妊娠和分娩结果，以及它们与非中东和北非地区的比较 人口。未来对美国这一数量虽少但不断增长的人口的研究将需要具有专业知识的研究人员 在孕产妇和儿童保健、任职人数不足或被边缘化的人口以及文化能力方面。候选人 因为这份多样性副刊有作为中东和北非难民的亲身经历，并对这项工作充满热情。 因此，这份多样性副刊的首要目标是：1)探索中东和北非移民妇女 母婴健康暴露、行为和结果，以及2)Hamzai女士为职业学习做好准备 中东和北非地区妇女在出生队列中的暴露和结局。Hamzai女士将在以下时间接受PI的1：1培训 HBCD研究具有母婴健康、边缘化人群和围产期物质使用方面的专门知识。 她将参加与多样性、公平和包容性、物质使用、 招募和保留，以及围产期健康。重要的是，她将有机会接触和建立网络 与美国各地25个成功的现场研究团队合作的机会。她的研究将综合有关 中东和北非地区人群的暴露情况(例如，物质使用、流离失所)、他们参与研究的情况以及 探索健康相关话题的文化思考(目标1)，综合中东和北非移民文献 妇女的产妇和生育结果(目标2)，并分析现有的移民管理队列数据 加利福尼亚州的中东和北非母婴对母婴结局(目标3)。这项拟议的培训将 双向有益于Hamzai女士和HBCD研究，因为她的研究目标将为以下几个方面的努力提供信息 也专注于代表性不足的人群及其在设计方面的专业知识的工作组， 招募和留住代表性不足的人口将为Hamzai女士的研究和职业生涯提供信息 发展。

This Diversity Supplement will be nested in the Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium (HBCD-NC) study at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) site (U01DA055369 contact MPI: Bandoli). The overall goal of the parent grant is to develop a normative template of brain development in response to various exposures across the first ten years of life. To achieve this, NIH has selected UCSD and 25 other sites across the United States (US) to recruit and follow a diverse and representative cohort of 7,500 mother-infant pairs. As such, a cohort that is diverse and representative of the US population must also include immigrants and those of those of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) origins. There is currently no category on the US Census for those of MENA origins, as they are collapsed into the ‘White’ sample. Given that historically the US has prioritized refugee admissions from numerous MENA countries with a significant proportion being received in California, it is important to prepare for the expansion of MENA women who give birth in the US. Little is known with respect to MENA women’s behaviors and exposures during pregnancy, particularly with respect to substance use, or the pregnancy and birth outcomes of this population and how they compare to non-MENA populations. Future research of this small but growing population in the US will require researchers with expertise in maternal child health, underrepresented or marginalized populations, and cultural competency. The candidate for this Diversity Supplement has lived experience as a MENA refugee and is passionate about this work. Therefore, the overarching goals of this Diversity Supplement are to 1) explore MENA immigrant women’s maternal and infant health exposures, behaviors and outcomes, and 2) prepare Ms. Hamzai for a career studying the exposures and outcomes of MENA woman in birth cohorts. Ms. Hamzai will receive 1:1 training from PIs on the HBCD study with expertise in maternal-child health, marginalized populations, and perinatal substance use. She will participate and inform Working Groups pertaining to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Substance Use, Recruitment and Retention, and Perinatal Health. Importantly, she will have exposure to and networking opportunities with 25 successful site study teams around the US. Her research will synthesize the literature on exposures (e.g. substance use, displacement) among MENA populations, their engagement in research, and cultural considerations for exploring health-related topics (Aim 1), synthesizing the literature on MENA immigrant women’s maternal and birth outcomes (Aim 2), and analyzing available administrative cohort data of immigrant MENA mother-child pairs in California for both maternal and infant outcomes (Aim 3). This proposed training will bi-directionally benefit Ms. Hamzai and the HBCD study, as her research aims will inform the efforts of several working groups who are also focused on under-represented populations, and their expertise in design, recruitment and retention of under-represented populations will inform Ms. Hamzai’s research and career development.
