项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT The purpose of this timely and significant K01 is to provide the PI (Dr. Bunting) with the training and expertise necessary to become an independent investigator of substance use research, specializing in the development of interventions that improve health outcomes of vulnerable populations with a specific focus on polysubstance use involving opioids. Despite the prevalence of polysubstance use and its association with high-risk outcomes such as overdose, significant gaps in our understanding persist in part due to limitations of existing substance use screening and assessment tools. The ability to accurately measure polysubstance use among high-risk populations is a critical step towards developing effective strategies for improving substance-related health outcomes of this population. The overall goal of the proposal is the development of a novel polysubstance assessment tool and identification of correlates and motivations of polysubstance use behaviors among high- risk vulnerable populations. The long-term goal of this line of investigation is to develop interventions targeted to polysubstance use behaviors in vulnerable populations as an independent investigator of substance use research. To achieve this goal, the proposed award has been designed to augment the PI’s existing training in sociology and health services through a comprehensive plan that will enable her to: (1) obtain methodological skills specific to instrument development and validation, (2) enhance her ability to conduct independent research including the recruitment and retention of vulnerable populations and remote study management, and (3) develop focused skills in health services intervention development specific to vulnerable populations (i.e., persons who use substances, justice-involved). These skills will be developed at the high-impact training environment of the New York University Grossman School of Medicine with a collaborative mentoring team of nationally renowned experts. The training plan is strategically complemented by a rigorous mixed-method study. Building on prior training while expanding to new skills, the independent line of research aims to: (1) develop and test the psychometric properties of a novel assessment tool to measure polysubstance use for high-risk vulnerable populations, (2) examine the predictive validity of the novel polysubstance use assessment tool by examining risk behaviors over a 6-month period in a high-risk vulnerable population, and (3) acquire preliminary data regarding the development and acceptability of intervention strategies for polysubstance use populations. By the conclusion of this award, the PI will be positioned as a rising leader in polysubstance use research and positioned to excel in a career of polysubstance use interventions through future R-mechanism funding opportunities.

项目摘要/摘要及时且重要的K01的目的是为PI（Bunting博士）提供培训和专家成为成为物质使用研究的独立研究者所必需的，专门从事开发改善弱势群体健康结果的干预措施，专门针对和polysubstance 使用相关阿片类药物。例如过量，由于现有物质的局限使用筛选和评估工具。人口是制定有效策略以改善与物质有关的健康的关键一步该项目的总体目标是开发一个新型的polysubstance 评估工具和识别高度使用PolySubstance使用行为的相关性和动机 - 风险脆弱的人口。在弱势群体中使用行为作为独立研究者研究。通过一项综合计划，社会学和卫生服务将使她能够：（1）获得方法论特定于仪器开发和验证的技能，（2）增强了她独立进行独立的能力研究包括招募和保留脆弱人群和远程学习管理，（3）在卫生服务干预开发方面发展特定于弱势群体的发展技能（即使用物质的人，涉及正义的技能）。纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院的环境与一个合作指导团队全国知名的专家。研究。开发和测试一种新型评估的心理测量特性，以测量多进步的使用高风险易受攻口的受欢迎程度，（2）检查新型polysubstance使用评估的预测阀通过在6个月内检查风险行为来进行工具有关多进步的干预策略的发展和可接受性的初步数据人口。研究并定位在Caresubstance使用干预措施中表现出色资金机会。
