DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The K01 Career Development Award proposes to establish a rigorous academic foundation for a research career devoted to developing and testing novel mental health services for victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). It uses the courts as a venue for identifying and engaging individuals with acute care needs, many of whom are never encountered in the traditional mental health care settings. Fundamental to this work is the commitment to creatively integrating legal, mental health services, and public health perspectives. Critical to this project is the candidate's 12-year legal professional background, coupled with 22 years of IPV work and a demonstrated ability to create linkages between settings and providers that traditionally have worked in separate 'silos'. Thematically, the K01 will foster the integration of hypothesis-driven science into the workings of the civil courts and criminal justice system with respect to recognizing the co-incidence of mental health issues and IPV. This grant provides developmental funding for a randomized controlled study in Monroe County, NY, as a demonstration site to identify mental health issues among a population of IPV victims seeking orders of protection. This project proposes to introduce a modified version of "Promote Health", previously used in medical emergency departments, into the Monroe County Family Court to assess its acceptability and utility to identify significant medical and mental health issues in Monroe County petitioners. Currently, no court staff members systematically question IPV victims about their mental health needs, or their patterns of alcohol and substance use. During the years following the K01, the PI will test the "transportability" of innovations developed in Monroe County to other court settings.

描述（由申请人提供）：K01 职业发展奖旨在为致力于为亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 受害者开发和测试新型心理健康服务的研究职业建立严格的学术基础。它利用法院作为识别和吸引有紧急护理需求的个人的场所，其中许多人在传统的精神卫生保健环境中从未遇到过。这项工作的基础是致力于创造性地整合法律、心理健康服务和公共卫生观点。该项目的关键在于候选人拥有 12 年的法律专业背景，加上 22 年的 IPV 工作经验，以及在传统上各自独立的“孤岛”中工作的环境和提供商之间建立联系的能力。 从主题上讲，K01 将促进将假设驱动的科学融入民事法院和刑事司法系统的运作中，以认识到心理健康问题和 IPV 的同时发生。这笔赠款为纽约州门罗县的一项随机对照研究提供了发展资金，该研究作为一个示范点，旨在识别寻求保护令的 IPV 受害者群体中的心理健康问题。该项目提议将以前在医疗急救部门使用的“促进健康”的修改版本引入门罗县家庭法院，以评估其可接受性和实用性，以识别门罗县请愿者的重大医疗和心理健康问题。目前，没有法庭工作人员系统地询问 IPV 受害者的心理健康需求或酒精和药物使用模式。在 K01 之后的几年里，PI 将测试门罗县开发的创新到其他法院环境的“可移植性”。
