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：总体 RCMAR 我们建议芝加哥亚洲 RCMAR 促进代表性不足的调查人员的职业发展通过转化创伤和复原力研究对人群进行研究，这是迄今为止研究最多的研究之一美国增长最快的人口：亚裔美国人老年人是一个重要的焦点。研究、人口和调查人员将为社区、区域和国家的实践和政策提供信息亚洲人是美国增长最快但研究最不足的少数群体，人口达到 2100 万， 2000 年至 2013 年期间增长了 56%，然而，过去 10 年 NIH 研究经费的不到 1% 集中在美国。亚洲人群，每年只有 3-5 笔 NIH 拨款专注于美国亚裔老年人。人口经历“亚洲悖论”：平均而言，美国亚裔是收入最高的人受教育程度最高的亚洲人，尤其是老年人，生活在贫困线以下的可能性较小参与生物医学研究，并与白人相比遭受不成比例的健康差距美国人的健康不平等由于这些移民的异质性而变得更加复杂。人口，特别是在文化、宗教、语言、性别认同和创伤暴露方面，许多其中挑战了我们对“模范少数族裔”刻板印象的假设。异质性导致孤立并进一步剥夺参与研究的机会，从而然而，尽管存在这种多样性，但仍存在统一的授予。亚洲文化的主题涉及共同的移民经历、创伤、牢固的家庭纽带、文化价值观和期望，以及老龄化过程的代际性质。建立在二十年对少数族裔人口的严格老龄化研究和跟踪记录的基础上成功的学术成就，我们利用了跨学科领域现有的强大合作伙伴关系多个学术和社区机构建立一个旨在培养下一代的中心多元化的研究人员在一个有利于成功并促进高度相关和我们建议对亚裔美国老年人进行严格的创伤、复原力和健康结果研究。以下科学探究路线： 1) 了解社会、文化和文化方面的跨种族差异亚洲人群创伤和压力的行为机制；2) 探索潜在的差异与创伤、移民和改善不利影响的恢复机制相关的健康结果 3) 建立机构和社区能力来测试和评估适应并实施基于证据的行为改变策略，以预防和治疗创伤，促进恢复力，并减轻压力事件对亚洲老龄化人口的影响。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。
