DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the resubmission of an application for a renewal of a Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) in response to PA-08-151 focused in the areas of Child Psychiatry/Pediatric Psychopharmacology and the Addictive Disorders. The objectives of the applicant are to a) increase the candidate's knowledge in stimulant misuse and substance use disorders (SUD) in adolescents and young adults, b) further his involvement in training and mentoring in Child Psychiatry/Psychology and Addictions, and c) complete a five-year prospective study of the etiologies of stimulant misuse in college students. This Award would also provide the opportunity to expand a well-integrated Center for the diagnosis and treatment of adolescent SUD in Child Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Despite the well-documented safety of stimulants in the treatment of ADHD, it has largely been survey studies that have shown the extent of misuse (defined here as any use outside of medical indication) of stimulants in college-aged students. These studies indicate a clinical and public health concern and through this proposal the candidate would like to address and evaluate the etiological factors, context, and characteristics of misuse of stimulants in college students. Potential subjects will be screened using a brief Internet survey and those eligible will be asked to complete a direct interview. The data collected can elucidate important issues like do inherent vulnerabilities exist and manifest under certain contexts? This investigation will provide an excellent foundation for the applicant to further his knowledge. From multiple collaborative efforts, the candidate will develop specific skills related to the study of addictions and young adults with stimulant misuse and to continue his work on methodological and conceptual issues in the phenomenology and treatment of adolescents with SUD. Through didactic seminars, supervision, meetings, and involvement in the ongoing research, the applicant proposes to continue mentoring individuals at all levels. In this manner, the candidate will continue to satisfy career development and mentoring objectives of the K24 award while addressing the vexing issues of etiologies of stimulant misuse in college students. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: By identifying and thoroughly examining this subject area, we will be better suited to dissect underlying characteristics and potential mechanisms related to the misuse of stimulants. Data derived from this proposed study will have important and directly applicable clinical and public health relevance.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是重新提出以患者为导向研究的中等职业研究者奖的申请（K24），以响应PA-08-151，重点是儿童精神病学/儿科精神病学和上瘾的灾难。申请人的目的是a）增加候选人在青少年和年轻人中的刺激性滥用和使用障碍（SUD）的知识，b）进一步进一步参与了他从事培训和指导儿童精神病/心理学和成瘾的培训和指导，以及C）完成了五年对大学生刺激性滥用的前瞻性研究。该奖项还将提供机会扩大马萨诸塞州综合医院（MGH）儿童精神病学诊断和治疗青少年SUD的整合良好中心。尽管兴奋剂在多动症治疗中有据可查的安全性，但在很大程度上，调查研究表明，在大学生学生中，滥用的程度（在此定义为医疗指示以外的任何用途）。这些研究表明了临床和公共卫生的关注，通过该提案，候选人希望解决和评估大学生滥用兴奋剂的病因学因素，背景和特征。将使用简短的互联网调查对潜在主题进行筛选，并要求那些符合条件的人完成直接面试。收集的数据可以阐明重要问题，例如在某些情况下存在固有的漏洞并体现出来吗？这项调查将为申请人提供良好的基础，以促进他的知识。从多次协作努力中，候选人将发展与成瘾研究和刺激性滥用的年轻人有关的特定技能，并继续他在现象学和治疗SUD的青少年的方法论和概念问题上的工作。通过教学研讨会，监督，会议和参与正在进行的研究，申请人建议继续指导各个级别的个人。通过这种方式，候选人将继续满足职业发展和指导K24奖的目标，同时解决大学生刺激性滥用的烦恼问题。 公共卫生相关性：通过识别和彻底检查该主题领域，我们将更适合剖析与滥用兴奋剂有关的潜在特征和潜在机制。从这项拟议的研究中得出的数据将具有重要且直接适用的临床和公共卫生相关性。
