描述（由申请人提供）：围产期精神疾病是分娩最常见的医疗并发症。本次会议补助金申请是为了支持马尔西协会（国际社会的理解，预防和治疗与生育有关的精神疾病），从2010年10月27日至10月30日在匹兹堡，宾夕法尼亚州。马尔西协会是以法国内科医生路易·维克托·马尔西（1828-1864）的名字命名的，他首先描述了孕妇和新生儿的精神病。主办机构是匹兹堡大学医学院西方精神病学研究所和诊所。目标受众是寻求促进围产期和妇女心理健康的专业和非专业社区。预计会议规模为300-500人，其中大多数来自美国。 会议的目标是：1）提高认识，围产期精神疾病是一个非常常见的和未充分研究的临床问题在美国。2)在2010年国际马尔西会议上发起一个美国马尔西协会。3)为围产期心理健康的新调查人员提供培训机会。4)承认生育的具体生物心理社会挑战为我们的领域提供的研究机会。围产期心理健康的贡献，更大的领域是低估。因此，会议的主题是：围产期心理健康研究：收获潜力。 与NIMH的愿景平行，Marci协会设想了一个预防和治愈围产期精神疾病的世界。为了配合NIMH的战略计划，将根据该计划的目标组织马尔西协会会议。战略计划的四个主题已被调整为结构化方案内容：1）促进大脑和行为科学的发现，以推动对围产期精神障碍原因的研究; 2）绘制围产期精神疾病轨迹，以确定何时、何地和如何进行干预; 3）制定新的和更好的干预措施，纳入患有围产期精神疾病的妇女及其家庭的不同需求和情况; 4）加强NIMH支持的研究对患有围产期疾病的妇女及其家庭的公共卫生影响。 公共卫生相关性：尽管有14.5%的妇女经历过产后抑郁症，但据报道，在内城妇女、早产儿母亲和青少年中，产后抑郁症的发生率更高。本次会议将把围产期心理健康研究的重点从抑郁症扩展到育龄妇女的其他精神疾病，并考虑从基础科学到这些疾病的卫生服务和政策制定的全方位转化研究。拟议的会议将启动美国马尔西协会，目标是为这一关键公共卫生领域的临床研究人员提供一个研究和协作网络论坛。1

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Peripartum psychiatric illnesses are the most common medical complications of childbirth. This conference grant application is to support the Marci Society (International Society for the Understanding, Prevention and Treatment of Mental Illness Related to Childbearing), from October 27-October 30, 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Marci Society is named after Louis Victor Marci, a French physician (1828-1864) who first described the psychoses of pregnant and newly delivered women. The sponsoring institution is the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The target audience is both the professional and lay communities that seek to advance perinatal and women's mental health. The anticipated conference size is 300-500 attendees, with the majority attending from the United States. The objectives of the conference are: 1) Increase recognition that perinatal mental illness is a very common and understudied clinical problem in the United States. 2) Launch an American Marci Society in conjunction with the international Marci meeting in 2010. 3) Provide training opportunities for new investigators in perinatal mental health. 4) Acknowledge the research opportunities afforded to our field by the specific biopsychosocial challenges of childbearing. The contributions of perinatal mental health to the greater field are underappreciated. Therefore, the theme of the meeting is: Perinatal Mental Health Research: Harvesting the Potential. In parallel to the vision of NIMH, the Marci Society envisions a world in which perinatal mental illnesses are prevented and cured. To dovetail with the strategic plan of NIMH, the Marci Society conference will be organized according to the plan's aims. The four themes of the strategic plan have been adapted to structure the program content: 1) Promote discovery in the brain and behavioral sciences to fuel research on the causes of perinatal mental disorders; 2) Chart perinatal mental illness trajectories to determine when, where, and how to intervene; 3) Develop new and better interventions that incorporate the diverse needs and circumstances of women with perinatal mental illnesses and their families; 4) Strengthen the public health impact of NIMH-supported research for women with perinatal disorders and their families. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Although a striking 14.5% of women experience postpartum depression, even higher rates have been reported among inner city women, mothers who have delivered infants preterm, and adolescents. This conference will expand the focus of perinatal mental health research beyond depression to other mental illnesses in childbearing women, and consider the full spectrum of translational research from basic science to health service and policy development for these disorders. The proposed meeting will launch an American Marci Society, with the goal of providing a research and collaborative networking forum for clinical investigators in this crucial area of public health. 1
