项目摘要

Abstract: Overall RCMAR We propose the Chicago Asian RCMAR to advance careers of investigators from underrepresented populations through translational trauma and resilience research amongst one of the most understudied, yet fastest growing populations in the U.S.: Asian American older adults. Such an important focus in research, population and investigators will inform both practice and policy at community, regional and national levels. Asians are the fastest growing yet most understudied US minority group at 21 million people and growing 56% from 2000-2013. Yet, < 1% of NIH research funding in the last 10 years were focused on US Asian populations, with only 3-5 total funded NIH grants/yr that focus on US Asian older adults. Moreover, this population experiences the “Asian Paradox”: while on average, US Asians, are the highest-income earners and the most highly-educated, more Asians, especially older adults, live below the poverty line, are less likely to participate in biomedical research, and suffer disproportional health disparities compared to white Americans. These health inequities are further complicated by the heterogeneity of these immigrant populations, especially with respect to culture, religion, language, sexual identity, and trauma exposure, many of which challenge our assumptions about the “model minority” stereotype. Such exposures and heterogeneities lead to isolation and further removal from opportunities to participate in research, thus restricting benefits conferred from population level research. However, despite this diversity, there are unifying themes across Asian cultures with regard to shared experiences of immigration, trauma, strong family bonds, cultural values and expectations, and the intergenerational nature of the aging process. Building on two decades of rigorous aging research in minority populations and track records of successful academic achievements, we have leveraged strong existing transdisciplinary partnerships across multiple academic and community institutions to build a center designed to foster the next generation of diverse researchers in a nurturing environment that is conducive to success and promotes highly relevant and rigorous trauma, resilience and health outcomes research among Asian American older adults. We propose the following scientific lines of inquiry: 1) Understand the cross-ethnic variations in the social, cultural, and behavioral mechanisms of trauma and stress across Asian populations; 2) Explore the potential differential health outcomes associated with trauma, immigration, and mechanisms of resilience in ameliorating adverse consequences among Asian populations; and 3) Build institutional and community capacity that tests and adapts and implements evidence based behavioral change strategies to prevent and treat trauma, promote resilience, and mitigate the effect of stressful events in Asian aging populations. The overall aims of the application reflect the synergistic work of Administrative (AC), Research Education (REC), Measurement and Analysis (AnC) and Community Liaison & Recruitment (CLRC) Cores.

摘要：整体RCMAR 我们建议芝加哥亚洲rcmar从代表性不足的情况下提高调查人员的职业人口通过翻译创伤和韧性研究，是最受了解的人之一在美国增长最快的人群：亚裔美国人老年人。如此重要的重点研究，人口和调查人员将为社区，地区和国家的实践和政策提供信息水平。亚洲人是增长最快，但最了解美国少数民族的2100万人，从2000 - 2013年开始增长56％。然而，在过去10年中，NIH研究资金的<1％都集中在我们身上亚洲人口只有3-5个资助的NIH赠款/年，专注于我们亚洲老年人。而且，这人口经历“亚洲悖论”：平均而言，美国亚洲人是收入最高的人而且，最受过良好教育，更多的亚洲人，尤其是老年人，生活在贫困线以下的可能性较小与白人相比，参与生物医学研究并遭受不利的健康差异美国人。这些移民的异质性使这些健康不平等更加复杂人口，尤其是关于文化，宗教，语言，性认同和创伤的人群，许多人其中挑战了我们对“模型少数派”刻板印象的假设。这样的暴露和异质性导致孤立并从参与研究的机会中进一步撤离，因此限制人口一级研究赋予的福利。但是，这种多样性是统一的亚洲文化的主题关于共同的移民，创伤，牢固的家庭纽带的经验，文化价值和期望，以及老化过程的代际性质。建立在少数族裔人口的二十年严格衰老研究的基础上成功的学术成就，我们利用了跨越现有的跨学科伙伴关系多个学术和社区机构建立一个旨在促进下一代的中心潜水员的研究人员在养育环境中为成功提供了导电，并促进高度相关的环境严格的创伤，韧性和健康结果研究亚裔美国人的老年人。我们建议以下科学探究路线：1）了解社会，文化和亚洲人群的创伤和压力的行为机制； 2）探索潜在的差异与创伤，移民和韧性机制相关的健康结果亚洲人口的后果； 3）建立测试的机构和社区能力适应并实施基于证据的行为改变策略，以预防和治疗创伤，促进弹性，并减轻亚洲老龄化人群中压力事件的影响。总体目标应用反映了行政（AC），研究教育（REC），测量和分析（ANC）和社区联络与招聘（CLRC）核心。
