Alcohol Research Training: Methods and Mechanisms of Change

项目总结/摘要 此申请要求在大学的一个非常成功的培训计划的五年以上的支持 新墨西哥州（UNM）酒精中毒，药物滥用和成瘾中心（CASAA）。该计划， 该项目于2010年启动，已培训了26名从事酒精研究的博士前和博士后学员。支持是 要求从心理学系抽调4名博士前学员和3名博士后学员 从与培训计划目标相关的学科，如心理学，社会学，精神病学，社会学， 工作、人口健康和经济学。该培训计划为未来的科学家开发和测试 通过改进治疗方法影响酒精使用变化的有效模式， 预防，研究饮酒行为的变化过程，并开发和测试模型 向不同人群传播有效干预和变革进程的知识。中央 受训者要解决的问题包括：（1）哪些因素刺激了高危人群和临床人群的变化？ (2)什么样的心理、社会和神经生物学机制是个体成功改变的基础 水平？(3)对不同变化轨迹的建模如何有助于理解变化 过程？(4)哪些类型的干预措施在支持酒精使用的恢复方面更有效和更不有效 疾病（AUD），同样重要的是，治疗的哪些具体方面导致了其有效性？（五） 改变过程和干预措施如何根据个体差异而变化（例如，基因图谱， 社会人口学特征、合并症、社会/文化环境）以及如何检查 个体差异通知精确医学为AUD？(6)什么是有效和高效的方法， 向从业人员和各种不同群体传播循证干预措施和关于变革进程的知识 人口？该项目由酗酒、药物滥用和成瘾中心指导和管理。 （CASAA），一个致力于酒精治疗，预防和流行病学研究的多学科中心 和其他物质的使用。UNM心理学系和心灵研究网络，一个私人的， UNM校园内的非营利性神经影像中心是重要的贡献合作伙伴。十大核心师资 担任学员的初级导师。这些教师有很强的指导记录， 研究有效的预防和治疗模式，以减少与酒精有关的伤害，研究 行为改变的神经认知和行为机制，对不同人群的研究，以及 传播研究15名贡献的教师带来了神经生物学方面的互补专业知识， 神经认知，酒精研究的新兴方法，行为干预，不同人群， 和传播科学，并提供内容专业知识和二次研究的机会 经验

Project Summary/Abstract This application requests five more years of support for a highly successful training program at the University of New Mexico (UNM) Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA). The program, initiated in 2010, has trained 26 pre- and postdoctoral trainees for careers in alcohol research. Support is requested for 4 pre-doctoral trainees, drawn from the Department of Psychology, and 3 post-doctoral trainees from disciplines relevant to the goals of the training program, such as psychology, sociology, psychiatry, social work, population health, and economics. The training program prepares future scientists to develop and test effective models for impacting change in alcohol use through improved approaches to treatment and indicated prevention, to conduct research on processes of change in drinking behavior, and to develop and test models to disseminate knowledge of effective interventions and change processes to diverse populations. Central questions that trainees address include: (1) What factors stimulate change in at-risk and clinical populations? (2) What psychological, social, and neurobiological mechanisms underlie successful change at the individual level? (3) How does modeling of different trajectories of change contribute to understanding change processes? (4) What types of interventions are more and less effective in supporting recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD), and, equally important, what specific aspects of treatments account for their effectiveness? (5) How do change processes and interventions vary based on individual differences (e.g., genetic profiles, sociodemographic characteristics, co-morbidity, social/cultural environment) and how can examination of individual differences inform precision medicine for AUD? (6) What are effective and efficient approaches to disseminate evidence-based interventions and knowledge about change processes to practitioners and diverse populations? The program is directed and run at the Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA), a multidisciplinary center devoted to treatment, prevention, and epidemiological research on alcohol and other substance use. The UNM Department of Psychology and the Mind Research Network, a private, non-profit neuroimaging center on the UNM campus, are important contributing partners. Ten core faculty serve as primary preceptors for trainees. These faculty members have strong records of mentorship and research on effective models of prevention and treatment to reduce alcohol-related harm, research on neurocognitive and behavioral mechanisms of behavior change, studies with diverse populations, and dissemination research. The 15 contributing faculty bring complementary expertise in neurobiology and neurocognition, emerging methodologies in alcohol research, behavioral interventions, diverse populations, and dissemination science, and provide content expertise and opportunities for secondary research experiences.
