项目摘要

This Methods Core supports research within the Center for Research on Quality in Managed Care. The proposed Center evaluates quality of care, and developes and evaluates approaches to improve quality of care for various stakeholder groups (consumers, practices, communities) across several major psychiatric disorders (depression, schizophrenia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder), developmental age groups, and cultural groups. Rigorous research methods that span qualitative, quantitative, and integrative strategies are necessary to support this research. The Center has a strong history of quantitative, design, and policy expertise that is supplement in the new Center through an emphasis on qualitative, contextual data. The Specific Aims of the Methods Core are: 1) to provide methodological support to the Center's ongoing studies and pilot projects; 2) to advance methods in mental health services research, especially the evaluation and quality improvement of community-based care for culturally diverse populations with major psychiatric disorders, through integration of qualitative and quantitative methods and development of new research design and methods; and 3) to support policy analyses and application of economic methods consistent with the Center's themes. To achieve these aims, the Core structure features three complmentary units: the Qualitative Methods Unit that will focus on local context and multiple stakeholder perspectives; the Biostatistical Methods and Design Unit that will provide the infrastructure, technical expertise, and resources to address methdological challenges in community-based research; and a Policy and Economic Methods Unit that will advance policy research methods and analyze substantive policy issues concerning how local financing and market forces affect access to and costs and quality of mental health care. Within this core, a Working Group on Interdisciplinary Methods for Minority and Cultural Issues is formed to inform the Center on diverse disciplinary and conceptual approaches to incorporating cultural perspectives in interventions research. The Units are supplemented by consulting with the RAND statistical Consulting group, the Qualitative Methods Core of the UCLA-NPI Center for Culture, the Latino Research Program Project, and the new Drew/UCLA Project Export Center for Health Disparities Research.

这种方法核心支持托管护理质量研究中心的研究。拟议的中心评估了护理质量，并开发和评估了在几种主要的精神疾病（抑郁症，精神分裂症，注意力缺陷/多活跃障碍），发展年龄组和文化群体的各种利益相关者群体（消费者，惯例，社区）改善护理质量的方法。为支持这项研究而言，必须采用跨性，定量和综合策略的严格研究方法。该中心具有悠久的定量，设计和政策专业知识的历史，通过强调定性，上下文数据。方法核心的具体目的是：1）为中心正在进行的研究和试点项目提供方法论支持； 2）通过整合定性和定量方法以及新的研究设计和方法的开发，推进精神卫生服务研究中的方法，尤其是针对具有重大精神疾病的文化多样性人群的评估和质量改进，以对具有重大精神疾病的文化多样化人群进行评估和质量改善； 3）支持与中心主题一致的政策分析和经济方法的应用。为了实现这些目标，核心结构具有三个投诉单位：定性方法单位，该单元将重点关注本地环境和多个利益相关者的观点；将提供基础设施的生物统计方法和设计单元专业知识和资源以应对基于社区的研究中的甲基科学挑战；以及一个政策和经济方法部门，将推进政策研究方法，并分析有关当地融资和市场力量如何影响精神卫生保健的获取和成本和质量的实质性政策问题。在此核心中，形成了有关少数群体和文化问题的跨学科方法的工作组，以告知中心各种纪律和概念性方法，将文化观点纳入干预措施研究中。通过与RAND统计咨询小组的咨询，UCLA-NPI文化中心的定性方法核心，拉丁裔研究计划项目以及新的DREW/UCLA项目出口健康差异研究中心的核心，可以补充这些单位。
