Research Methods Core: Partnered research presents diverse methodological challenges. Drawing on diverse scientific paradigms and disciplines, we propose an Interdisciplinary Partnered Methods Core (or "Methods Core" for short) to support the mission of the proposed NIMH Partnered Research Center for Quality Care. Methodological input and development are relevant to every aspect of the Center. Specific needs include measuring participation and markers of network capacity, tracking outcomes for diverse stakeholders, monitoring feedback from partners and communities that relate to the Center's capacity to support partnered research, and evaluating intervention implementation and outcomes. We seek to ensure that efforts to advance knowledge and to inform programs and policy decisions are based on rigorous science as well as to promote two-way capacity building so that partners gain access to methodological expertise and methodologists are responsive to community needs and contexts. We have structured Units for this Methods Core to provide necessary expertise in design and quantitative analysis, qualitative and mixed methods techniques, measures development and adaptation to diverse populations, and policy analysis. Like the Core as a whole, each Unit (Biostatistics, Qualitative/Mixed- Methods, Measurement, Policy) is co-led by academic and partner Center members. The Qualitative/Mixed-Methods Unit includes a component to provide Rapid-Response Capability to assess research opportunities on a time scale that will facilitate taking advantage of potential natural experiments. Because we anticipate that future community-based partnered research will occur within network contexts, we have proposed an R34 Methods Pilot that will develop a web-based networking tool that, in addition to enhancing our network-analysis capabilities for research purposes, can be expected to support efforts to enhance quality of care by strengthening agency networks, particularly in an area of need we have identified regarding: mental-health services for individuals with co-occurring (notably substance-use) disorders. Training of. students and emerging investigators remains a.central goal of the Methods Core, and our Policy Unit includes support for a newrinvestigator pilot study onutility assessment for cost-effectiveness analysis in community programs for severe mental illness. , Overall; we plan to provide high-quality biostatistical support for partnered research, sophisticated qualitative/mixed-methods support for intervention development and evaluation, expert-supported development and application of measures of quality and outcomes of care that are appropriate for diverse populations, and state-of-the-art application of policy-analysis insights both in specific domains of quality-ofcare research as well as in the review of all Center projects for policy relevance.

研究方法核心：合作研究提出了各种方法论挑战。吸引 多样化的科学范式和学科，我们提出了跨学科的合作方法核心（或 简称“方法核心”）支持拟议的NIMH合作研究中心的任务 优质护理。方法论输入和发展与中心的各个方面有关。具体的 需求包括衡量参与和网络容量的标记，跟踪结果 利益相关者，监视与中心能力有关的合作伙伴和社区的反馈 支持合作研究，并评估干预实施和结果。我们试图确保 促进知识和告知计划和政策决策的努力是基于严格的 科学以及促进双向能力建设，以便合作伙伴获得方法论 专业知识和方法学家对社区需求和环境有反应。 我们已经为这种方法核心提供了结构化单元，以提供设计和定量的必要专业知识 分析，定性和混合方法技术，衡量发展并适应多种多样的 人口和政策分析。像整个核心一样，每个单元（生物统计学，定性/混合 - 方法，测量，政策）由学术和合作伙伴中心成员共同领导。这 定性/混合方法单元包括提供快速响应能力来评估的组件 时间尺度的研究机会将有助于利用潜在的自然实验。 因为我们预计未来基于社区的合作研究将发生在网络环境中，所以 我们提出了一个R34方法飞行员，该方法将开发一种基于Web的网络工具，此外 提高我们用于研究目的的网络分析能力，可以期望 通过加强代理网络来提高护理质量，特别是在我们已经确定的需求领域 关于：为患有共同发生（尤其是药物使用）疾病的人的心理健康服务。 培训。学生和新兴调查员仍然是A.方法核心的中心目标，我们的政策 单位包括支持Newrinvestigator的PILOT研究的支持评估成本效益分析 在严重精神疾病的社区计划中。 ，，，，， 全面的;我们计划为合作研究提供高质量的生物统计学支持 定性/混合方法支持干预开发和评估，专家支持 适合多样化的质量和护理结果的制定和应用 人口，以及在特定领域的政策分析见解的最先进的政策分析见解 研究以及所有中心项目的政策相关性。
