Self-harm, violence and road accidents, the leading causes of mortality in Guyana, engender preventable, yet sustained public health crises. Guyana’s trauma/injury mortality burden is the highest in South America, with its suicide rate (80% pesticide ingestion) the third highest in the world. Fortunately, the Guyanese leadership, both academic and governmental, have demonstrated a strong public health commitment to addressing these problems. Unfortunately, however, the country does not currently have research capacity in trauma/injury prevention on which to build evidence-based, context-specific prevention strategies. We propose, therefore, a cross-national, cross-institutional collaboration, to transition their current capacity in trauma/injury research, by jointly creating the Guyana Research in Injury and Trauma Training (GRITT) Program, a Sister Program of the Columbia (University) Center for Injury Science and Prevention (CCISP). GRITT will provide in-depth training in research design and methods, combined with jointly mentoring trainees through intensive, hands-on research projects and by facilitating entry into advanced degree programs (Masters or Ph.D.). GRITT will be built on collaboration between the Columbia University and Guyana’s Ministry of Health ongoing NIMH funded longitudinal epidemiological national study of suicide. The primary institutions devoted to establishing and sustaining GRITT are the University of Guyana, Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, and Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health Dept. of Epidemiology. In a transparent, competitive process designed to ensure under-represented participation, GRITT will train along four pathways, allowing for variations in discipline, levels of expertise, professional roles and geared toward pursuit of a Masters or PhD in the area of trauma/injury research. The four research training pathways are: (1) Health Professionals in the Accident and Emergency Department and the Guyana Emergency Medical Services will receive individual mentoring and participate in collaborative on-the-job research projects designed to enhance careers as researchers in trauma/injury prevention; (2) Medical Residents will be offered training in research methods and group/individual mentoring focused on trauma/injury; (3) Masters students (Public Health, Nursing, Social Work, Psychology, Education, Pharmacy) will be offered research-focused virtual courses, intensive summer training, and a jointly mentored research practicum/project on a trauma/injury topic, geared to pursuit of a research career, including a Ph.D., and; (4) Health care Post-Bacs, participating in a Columbia University Certificate program will receive on-line training in research methods and will be supported for a Masters degree focused on injury/trauma prevention. Also, in the first six-months and then on a regular basis, GRITT faculty, staff and local Mentors will participate in workshops focused on research methods, including identification of projects for faculty/students, e.g., self-harm, interpersonal violence, road accidents. Workshops will also include effective mentoring techniques and establish interactive learning approaches for the shared virtual monthly trauma/injury Seminar Series at CCSIP.

自残、暴力和道路事故是圭亚那死亡的主要原因，但这些问题是可以预防的 圭亚那的创伤/伤害死亡率负担是南美洲最高的。 自杀率（80%杀虫剂摄入）位居世界第三，幸运的是，圭亚那的领导力，两者兼而有之。 学术界和政府都表现出了解决这些问题的强有力的公共卫生承诺 然而不幸的是，该国目前不具备创伤/伤害方面的研究能力。 因此，我们建议制定基于证据的、针对具体情况的预防战略。 跨国、跨机构合作，以转变其目前在创伤/伤害研究方面的能力，通过 共同创建圭亚那伤害和创伤培训研究 (GRITT) 计划，该计划是 哥伦比亚（大学）伤害科学与预防中心 (CCISP) 将提供深入的培训。 研究设计和方法，并通过深入的实践研究共同指导学员 项目并促进进入高级学位课程（硕士或博士学位）。 哥伦比亚大学和圭亚那卫生部正在进行的合作，由 NIMH 资助 全国自杀流行病学研究的主要机构。 支持 GRITT 的是圭亚那大学、乔治敦公立医院公司和哥伦比亚大学 梅尔曼公共卫生学院流行病学系采用透明、竞争性的流程，旨在 为了确保代表性不足的参与，GRITT 将沿着四种途径进行培训，允许纪律上的变化， 专业水平、专业角色，并致力于攻读创伤/伤害领域的硕士或博士学位 四种研究培训途径是： (1) 事故和紧急情况下的卫生专业人员。 该部门和圭亚那紧急医疗服务部门将接受个人指导并参与 在职协作研究项目，旨在提高创伤/伤害研究人员的职业生涯 (2) 将为住院医生提供研究方法和团体/个人指导方面的培训 专注于创伤/伤害；（3）硕士生（公共卫生、护理、社会工作、心理学、教育学、 药学）将提供以研究为重点的虚拟课程、暑期强化培训以及联合指导 关于创伤/伤害主题的研究实习/项目，旨在追求研究职业，包括博士学位， (4) 参加哥伦比亚大学证书课程的医疗保健 Post-Bacs 将在线获得 研究方法培训，并将获得专注于伤害/创伤预防的硕士学位的支持。 此外，在前六个月以及之后的定期活动中，GRITT 教职员工和当地导师将参与 研讨会侧重于研究方法，包括为教师/学生确定项目，例如自残、 人际暴力、道路事故研讨会还将包括有效的指导技巧并建立。 CCSIP 每月共享虚拟创伤/伤害研讨会系列的互动学习方法。
