DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is designed to provide the candidate, Dr. Sarah Book, with skills and expertise in the treatment of alcoholism and co-occurring psychiatric disorders (psychiatric comorbidity), in general, and co-occurring alcoholism and social phobia, in particular. Psychiatric comorbidity is an area of recent interest to NIAAA, and one where well trained psychiatric researchers are needed. Perhaps more than 60% of individuals with alcoholism suffer from psychiatric comorbidity. This population is more likely to seek alcoholism treatment, their alcohol problems are more severe, and their outcomes tend to be more complicated and less favorable than for those without psychiatric comorbidity. In the past decade, there has been interest in using psychiatric comorbidity to sub-group alcoholics for treatment matching. The anxiety area has received considerably less attention than depression comorbidity, and more research is needed. Dr. Book's goal is to be a clinical-scientist with unique expertise in the treatment of alcoholism and anxiety disorder comorbidity. She desires K23 training to permit the development of a research program to enable her to conduct research, treat patients, and educate future medical professionals about the challenges faced in treating alcoholic individuals with comorbidity. The proposed research integrates her skills developed in clinical treatment of anxiety disorders with more recently acquired ones in treatment of alcohol dependence as inpatient attending in the Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs. The training plan identifies areas to be developed, including mastery of the literature, delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy for alcohol treatment, and exploration of gender differences in alcohol use disorders and psychiatric comorbidity. She will refine skills in critical reasoning, and develop skills in quantitative methods and grant writing. This award will allow Dr. Book protected time from her extensive clinical, education, and administrative responsibilities as an inpatient attending to further develop her research skills. Her ultimate goal is to become an independent clinical researcher, while still treating patients and providing didactic substance abuse education to future generations of medical professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在为候选人Sarah Book博士提供技能和专业知识，以治疗酒精中毒和同时发生的精神疾病（精神病合并症），总的来说是酒精中毒和社会恐惧症。精神病合并症是NIAAA最近感兴趣的领域，需要训练有素的精神病研究人员。可能有60％以上的酒精中毒患者患有精神病合并症。该人群更有可能寻求酒精中毒治疗，其酒精问题更加严重，而与没有精神病合并症的人相比，他们的结果往往更为复杂和有利。在过去的十年中，人们有兴趣将精神病合并症用于亚组酗酒者进行治疗匹配。焦虑区的关注比抑郁症合并症要少得多，需要更多的研究。 Book博士的目标是成为临床科学家，在治疗酒精中毒和焦虑症合并症方面具有独特的专业知识。她希望进行K23培训，以允许制定研究计划，以使她能够进行研究，治疗患者并教育未来的医疗专业人员，以了解治疗合并症酗酒者面临的挑战。拟议的研究将她在焦虑症的临床治疗方面发展的技能与最近获得的酒精依赖治疗的技能相结合，作为在毒品和酒精计划中心的住院治疗。培训计划确定了要开发的领域，包括掌握文献，提供酒精治疗的认知行为疗法以及探索酒精使用障碍和精神病合并症的性别差异。她将在批判推理方面提高技能，并发展定量方法和授予写作技能。该奖项将使博士从她的广泛的临床，教育和行政责任中保护时间，作为住院，以进一步发展她的研究技能。她的最终目标是成为一名独立的临床研究人员，同时仍在治疗患者并向子孙后代提供教学滥用教育。
