DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The promise of mobile technologies in facilitating health-behavior change (mHealth), particularly in substance use disorders, has been largely unrealized. Siloed development, absence of a shared vocabulary and a dearth of crossdisciplinary interactions are some of the challenges that perpetuate the divide between mHealth technologists and behaviorists and fuel serious concerns about the clinical uptake or eventual public health impact of mHealth approaches. To address these concerns, we will develop and implement a mHealth Training Institute (mHTI) that will provide participants with a core educational grounding in mHealth perspectives and methodologies and help inculcate the intrapersonal and interpersonal skills and attitudes necessary for transdisciplinary collaborations. Held annually at the University of California-Los Angele, the mHTI will combine a week-long, immersion program for the 35 participants selected each year with ongoing mentoring and facilitated collaborations to provide a continuum of activ learning and collaborative experiences. Distinctive elements of the mHTI will include (a) problem-based, team-science projects that build on the didactic core and allow trainees from disparate disciplines to apply their expertise jointly to a specific behavioral health problem; (b multi-mentoring of each team by experienced mentors grounded in different disciplines; (c) "real- world" input from industry experts on mHealth product development lifecycles; and (d) a virtual collaborative platform to sustain synergistic interactions and research networks between mHTI graduates and help them develop transdisciplinary mHealth solutions. Anchored by a theoretical framework, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the mHTI in fostering a transdisciplinary ethic and skills through the following questions: a) Does recognition (of the value of transdisciplinary collaboration) increase among institute participants? (b) Does self- efficacy (i.e., confidence to engage in transdisciplinary collaboration) increase among institute participants? (c) Does actualization (i.e., engagement in transdisciplinary collaboration) increase among institute participants? Furthermore, to what extent are changes in actualization moderated by the research infrastructure and support of participants' home institutions? The proposed mHTI will derive from the synergic efforts of a core group of academic, industry and NIH thought leaders with mHealth training priors and a deep commitment to educating the next generation of transdisciplinary mHealth researchers. Building on the experiences of precursor mHealth training institutes, the mHTI will capitalize on UCLA's mature physical infrastructure, articulate institutional backing, as well as established logistical support systems for scientific meetings and conferences. By priming the mHealth innovation pipeline with a cadre of self-actualizing, integrative scientists with transdisciplinary competencies and mindsets, the mHTI's will ensure that the field of behavioral health disorders is better positioned to realize the transformative potential of mHealth.

描述（由申请人提供）：移动技术在促进健康行为改变（移动健康）方面的承诺，特别是在物质使用障碍方面，基本上尚未实现。孤立的发展、缺乏共享词汇和缺乏跨学科互动是导致移动医疗技术专家和行为主义者之间长期分歧的一些挑战，并引发了人们对移动医疗方法的临床应用或最终公共卫生影响的严重担忧。为了解决这些问题，我们将开发和实施一个移动医疗培训学院 (mHTI)，为参与者提供移动医疗观点和方法的核心教育基础，并帮助灌输跨学科合作所需的个人和人际技能和态度。 mHTI 每年在加州大学洛杉矶分校举行，将为每年选出的 35 名参与者提供为期一周的沉浸式课程，并提供持续的指导和促进的合作，以提供连续不断的积极学习和协作体验。 mHTI 的独特要素将包括 (a) 以问题为基础的团队科学项目，该项目以教学核心为基础，允许来自不同学科的学员将他们的专业知识联合应用于特定的行为健康问题； (b) 每个团队由来自不同学科的经验丰富的导师进行多方指导；(c) 行业专家对移动医疗产品开发生命周期的“真实”投入；(d) 一个虚拟协作平台，以维持各团队之间的协同互动和研究网络。 mHTI 毕业生并帮助他们开发跨学科移动医疗解决方案 以理论框架为基础，我们将通过以下问题评估 mHTI 在培养跨学科道德和技能方面的有效性：a) 是否有效。 机构参与者对（跨学科合作的价值）的认识有所提高？ (b) 机构参与者的自我效能（即参与跨学科合作的信心）是否有所提高？ (c) 机构参与者的实现（即参与跨学科合作）是否有所增加？此外，研究基础设施和参与者所在机构的支持在多大程度上调节了实现的变化？ 拟议的 mHTI 将得出 该成果源自由学术界、工业界和 NIH 思想领袖组成的核心团队的协同努力，他们拥有移动医疗培训经验，并致力于教育下一代跨学科移动医疗研究人员。基于前身移动医疗培训机构的经验，mHTI 将利用加州大学洛杉矶分校成熟的实体基础设施、明确的机构支持以及为科学会议和大会建立的后勤支持系统。通过利用一批具有跨学科能力和思维方式的自我实现、综合性科学家来启动移动医疗创新渠道，mHTI 将确保行为健康障碍领域处于更好的位置，以实现移动医疗的变革潜力。
