DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is submitted in request for a Mentored Clinical Scientist Award (K23) geared toward the ongoing development of Dr. Randall Brown as an independent investigator in the field of substance abuse treatment and drug policy research. The award will facilitate Dr. Brown's acquisition of advanced research competencies in epidemiological research methods and policy and health services research. The proposed training program will include completion of a Ph.D. in Population Health Sciences and extensive individual and group mentoring. The University of Wisconsin, Madison offers a particularly well-suited environment for the proposed work because it provides access to accomplished researchers in substance use disorders (Dr. Mike Fleming and Dr. Richard Brown), drug policy and program evaluation (Dr. D. Paul Moberg and Dr. David Brown), and epidemiological research and survival analysis (Dr. F. Javier Nieto). Dr. Brown also will participate in the UW Clinical Investigator Preparatory Pathway (NIH K30), which assures competency in core areas of statistics, study design, research ethics, management/leadership, and scientific writing. During the period of this training grant, Dr. Brown proposes to conduct research that examines potential factors contributing to successful completion of substance abuse treatment programming in the Dane County Drug Court Treatment Program (DCTP). Successful completion of substance abuse treatment in the DCTP is contingent upon abstinence from illicit substance use and is therefore indicative of reduced health risk. The research will require regression modeling and survival analysis using administrative data. This data is available through an already established collaboration with the Dane County DCTP, located in Madison Wisconsin. The officers of the Court are supportive of the proposed research and have committed to active participation. The proposed research brings the strengths of a multidisciplinary approach to a major health problem-- substance abuse and dependence--in the context of the criminal justice system. Insights gained from this project will have implications for (1) the effective treatment of offenders participating in drug court programs with substance use disorders and (2) rational social policy addressing the needs of those with substance abuse and dependence disorders in the criminal justice system. Application of policy based upon rigorous research has the potential to reduce the incidence of health problems associated with the cycle of drug use and criminal activity.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是为了申请指导临床科学家奖（K23）而提交的，旨在促进兰德尔·布朗博士作为药物滥用治疗和药物政策研究领域的独立研究者的持续发展。 该奖项将有助于布朗博士获得流行病学研究方法以及政策和卫生服务研究方面的高级研究能力。拟议的培训计划将包括完成博士学位。人口健康科学和广泛的个人和团体指导。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校为拟议的工作提供了一个特别适合的环境，因为它为物质使用障碍（Mike Fleming 博士和 Richard Brown 博士）、药物政策和项目评估（D. D. Paul Moberg 和 David Brown 博士），以及流行病学研究和生存分析（F. Javier Nieto 博士）。布朗博士还将参加威斯康星大学临床研究者预备课程 (NIH K30)，该课程确保统计学、研究设计、研究伦理、管理/领导力和科学写作等核心领域的能力。 在这笔培训资助期间，布朗博士提议进行研究，检查有助于成功完成戴恩县毒品法庭治疗计划 (DCTP) 药物滥用治疗计划的潜在因素。 DCTP 中药物滥用治疗的成功完成取决于戒除非法药物的使用，因此表明健康风险降低。该研究需要使用管理数据进行回归建模和生存分析。该数据可通过与位于威斯康星州麦迪逊市的戴恩县 DCTP 建立的合作关系获得。法院官员支持拟议的研究并承诺积极参与。拟议的研究在刑事司法系统的背景下，利用多学科方法解决重大健康问题——药物滥用和依赖——的优势。从该项目中获得的见解将对以下方面产生影响：(1) 有效治疗参与毒品法庭项目的患有药物滥用障碍的罪犯；(2) 制定合理的社会政策，满足刑事司法系统中药物滥用和依赖性障碍患者的需求。应用基于严格研究的政策有可能减少与吸毒和犯罪活动循环相关的健康问题的发生率。
