DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a Mentored Scientist Career Development (K01) award involves a program of coursework, research training and strong mentorship by a team of established researchers to strengthen the candidate's capacity to develop theory by examining the longitudinal effects of poverty and domestic violence on young mothers' short and long-term mental health outcomes. The candidate's extensive clinical experience as a social work practitioner and her previous scholarship on linkages between domestic violence, mental health and welfare use provide a strong foundation for this research, but higher level skills in longitudinal statistical analysis and advanced qualitative methods are currently beyond her scope of expertise. The proposed research plan extends previous scholarship by determining whether material resources mediate the consequences of stressors on mental health outcomes, and by examining how the sequencing of stressful life events affects mental health in later life stages. To accomplish the specific research aims and training goals, data from a 17 year longitudinal study (Young Women's Health Study - Gillmore, Co-Pi, DA05208) of young single women who became pregnant as adolescents will be used. The survey data are unusual in that they include measures of economic insecurity, violence exposure and mental health outcomes within an ethnically diverse sample of women. The proposed statistical analyses of the data will be supplemented through use of an innovative qualitative technique to identify life course sequences of risk and resilience. The results from this study will identify causal pathways and developmental trajectories that can be used to inform prevention and intervention services to at-risk women. A five year program of education, training and mentored research will be supervised by Dr. Mary Gillmore of the University of Washington and will provide the candidate with the methodological skills and substantive knowledge needed to carry out the specific aims of the research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本导师科学家职业发展（K01）奖申请涉及课程作业、研究培训和由知名研究人员团队提供的强有力指导，旨在通过检查以下方面的纵向影响来加强候选人发展理论的能力：贫困和家庭暴力对年轻母亲短期和长期心理健康结果的影响。候选人作为社会工作从业者的丰富临床经验以及她之前在家庭暴力、心理健康和福利利用之间联系方面的学术成就为这项研究奠定了坚实的基础，但纵向统计分析和高级定性方法的更高水平技能目前超出了她的范围的专业知识。拟议的研究计划通过确定物质资源是否调节压力源对心理健康结果的影响，以及通过研究压力生活事件的顺序如何影响生命后期的心理健康，扩展了先前的学术成果。为了实现具体的研究目的和培训目标，将使用一项针对青少年时期怀孕的年轻单身女性的 17 年纵向研究（年轻女性健康研究 - Gillmore，Co-Pi，DA05208）的数据。调查数据的不同寻常之处在于，它们包括了不同种族女性样本中的经济不安全、暴力暴露和心理健康结果的衡量标准。拟议的数据统计分析将通过使用创新的定性技术来补充，以确定风险和复原力的生命过程序列。这项研究的结果将确定因果路径和发展轨迹，可用于为高危女性提供预防和干预服务。为期五年的教育、培训和指导研究计划将由华盛顿大学的玛丽·吉尔莫尔博士监督，将为候选人提供实现具体研究目标所需的方法技能和实质性知识。
