项目摘要

ABSTRACT The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), the second largest Hispanic-serving institution in the nation, founded the School of Medicine (SOM) in 2015 to address the health needs of the underrepresented minority (URM) populations of south Texas on the US-Mexico border. In 2017, as part of its mission, the SOM began hosting an annual research conference on health disparities. The conference was the first of its kind in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). To date, more than half the participants have been URMs and women. Each year since 2017 UTRGV has held a health disparities research conference that has attracted more than 300 attendees each year. With expected participation from both US and Mexico border institutions, the UTRGV-SOM will host the 5th and 6th conferences on September 9-10, 2022, and September 8-9, 2023. The title will be “International Conference on Health Disparities: Treatment and Recovery from Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorders and Related Comorbidities (ICHD-Recover).” Opioid and alcohol use disorders are significant national public health problems and are particularly severe among URM populations. The ICHD-Recover has the following Specific Aims: 1) To accelerate collaborations among researchers at the national level and across the U.S.-Mexico border, 2) To facilitate engagement and collaboration with community stakeholders in research and implementation of culturally relevant interventions, thus obtaining community support for research on substance use disorders, 3) To stimulate new lines of research addressing URM health with a focus on opioid and alcohol use disorders and related comorbidities, 4) To motivate trainees from URM populations to engage in substance abuse research, and 5) To disseminate research findings from the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) to researchers and health policy makers in other border regions and states and the nation. The proposed conferences will include nationally known speakers, plenary sessions, abstracts, and posters presented by students, researchers, fellows, faculty, and professionals from the U.S. and neighboring Mexican border institutions. Seventy five percent of our speakers are from URM. Funds will be used to 1) invite leading researchers, health disparity experts and young scientists, from the U.S. border regions and Mexico, and 2) implement the proposed scientific agenda over two days, thus showcasing community-engaged research in which researchers and practitioners address opioid and alcohol use disorder health disparities in URM populations. The ICHD-Recover closely aligns with the NIH mission, which is to support global opioid and alcohol use disorders and health disparities research to advance scientific knowledge and aid all those affected to recover from the consequences of opioid and alcohol misuse. The ICHD-Recover conferences will, 1) emphasize how the medical research community can most effectively interact with community stakeholders, considering the social determinants of health to inform the design and implementation of community intervention programs, and 2) address health disparities in persons suffering from the consequences of opioid and alcohol misuse and associated comorbidities in URM populations.

抽象的德克萨斯大学里奥格兰德河谷分校 (UTRGV)，美国第二大西班牙裔服务机构国家，于 2015 年成立了医学院 (SOM)，以满足代表性不足的人群的健康需求 2017 年，作为其使命的一部分，SOM 对德克萨斯州南部美墨边境的少数民族 (URM) 人口进行了调查。开始举办关于健康差异的年度研究会议，该会议是该领域的首次此类会议。迄今为止，每年超过一半的参与者是URM和女性。自 2017 年以来，UTRGV 举办了一次健康差异研究会议，吸引了 300 多名与会者预计美国和墨西哥边境机构都会参与，UTRGV-SOM 每年都会举办。第五届和第六届会议将于2022年9月9-10日和2023年9月8-9日举行。会议主题为“国际健康差异会议：阿片类药物和酒精使用障碍及相关疾病的治疗和康复合并症（ICHD-Recover）。”阿片类药物和酒精使用障碍是重要的国家公共卫生问题。 ICHD-Recover 有以下具体目标： 1) 加速国家层面和美墨边境研究人员之间的合作，2) 促进与社区利益相关者在研究和实施方面的参与和合作文化相关的干预措施，从而获得社区对物质使用障碍研究的支持，3) 刺激针对 URM 健康的新研究方向，重点关注阿片类药物和酒精使用障碍，相关合并症，4) 激励 URM 人群的学员参与药物滥用研究， 5) 将里奥格兰德河谷 (RGV) 的研究成果传播给研究人员和卫生政策其他地区、州和国家的制造商拟议的会议将包括全国范围内的会议。学生、研究人员、研究员、教师提交的知名演讲者、全体会议、摘要和海报，以及来自美国和邻近的墨西哥边境机构的专业人员。演讲者来自 URM。资金将用于 1) 邀请顶尖研究人员、健康差异专家和年轻人。来自美国边境和墨西哥的科学家，以及 2）在两个时间内实施拟议的科学议程天，从而展示了社区参与的研究，其中研究人员和从业者讨论阿片类药物和 URM 人群中酒精使用障碍的健康差异 ICHD-Recover 与 NIH 密切相关。使命是支持全球阿片类药物和酒精使用障碍和健康差异研究，以推进科学知识并帮助所有受影响的人从阿片类药物和酒精滥用的后果中恢复过来。 ICHD-Recover 会议将：1) 强调医学研究界如何最有效地与社区利益相关者互动，考虑健康的社会决定因素，为设计和实施社区干预计划，2) 解决患有以下疾病的人的健康差异 URM 人群中阿片类药物和酒精滥用以及相关合并症的后果。
