项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Westchester Square Partnership. This proposal describes a community-based participatory research project that will focus on common mental disorder (CMD) among women in a Bangladeshi community in the Bronx. Studies of South Asian diasporic communities report high levels of distress, depression, and self harm among women, along with very low rates of service utilization. Evidence suggests that low service use may be related to the lack of conceptual synchrony between standard psychiatric treatments and explanatory models of mental illness in the community. The proposed CBPR project will develop a community partnership to address the problem of CMD in Bronx Bangladeshi women. The goal is to develop an intervention model that synchronizes with women's perceptions of illness and care. The project planning group consists of researchers, clinical service providers, and a community service organization serving South Asians in New York City. We will recruit 10 Bangladeshi women from the community as partners. The study will focus on several related tasks: 1) developing the partnership, 2) conceptualizing the problem to be investigated; 3) conducting an assessment of community needs and assets; 4) choosing an intervention to address the problem; 5) evaluating the partnership, and 6) developing a community advisory board. Towards the end of the 2-year project period, we will develop an R01 application to implement and test the intervention selected in this preliminary study.

描述（由申请人提供）：Westchester Square Partnership。该提案描述了一个基于社区的参与性研究项目，该项目将重点关注布朗克斯区孟加拉国社区妇女中的常见精神障碍 (CMD)。对南亚侨民社区的研究表明，女性的痛苦、抑郁和自残程度很高，而服务利用率却很低。有证据表明，服务使用率低可能与社区中标准精神科治疗和精神疾病解释模型之间缺乏概念同步有关。拟议的 CBPR 项目将建立社区伙伴关系，以解决布朗克斯孟加拉国妇女的 CMD 问题。目标是开发一种与女性对疾病和护理的看法同步的干预模型。该项目规划小组由研究人员、临床服务提供者和一个为纽约市南亚人服务的社区服务组织组成。我们将从社区招募10名孟加拉国女性作为合作伙伴。该研究将重点关注几个相关任务：1）发展伙伴关系，2）概念化要调查的问题； 3）对社区需求和资产进行评估； 4）选择干预措施来解决问题； 5) 评估合作伙伴关系，以及 6) 建立社区咨询委员会。在 2 年项目期结束时，我们将开发 R01 应用程序来实施和测试本初步研究中选择的干预措施。
