项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant is revising a request for five years of funding for a K23 award to enhance his skills in health services research for forced migrant families. He proposes to broaden and deepen his research skill set through coursework and structured mentoring, and through the development and implementation of a study comparing intergenerational conflict in forced migrant and voluntary West Africans in order to propose points of intervention for forced migrant families using interventions adapted from the general immigrant literature. While a number of studies have pointed to high rates of distress among African forced migrant families post-migration, none have examined whether this distress is common to most low-income African immigrants or unique to those with a history of political violence, nor whether this distress has implications for their children. Training: The applicant will use the K award to acquire coursework and mentorship in qualitative research methods, immigration, respondent-driven sampling, qualitative analysis, multilevel modeling, and social network analysis. Sponsor Francesca Gany, MD, MS of the NYU Center for Immigrant Health will provide an experienced perspective on healthcare research with immigrant populations through regular meetings. Research: The applicant proposes a series of three research projects to complement the training. The first is a focus group study of how West African communities discuss family problems, the second is a survey of intergenerational conflict among both forced and voluntary migrants in West African communities, and the third is a focus group study West Africans to interpret findings from the second and prepare for the development of an intervention targeting intergenerational conflict. In the final year of the K award the applicant will seek funding for treatment development and clinical trials for the latter. Environment: The applicant is an Assistant Professor at the NYU School of Medicine and a researcher at the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture (PSOT), a hospital-based clinic specializing in refugee and asylee health. He will work closely with West African clients and colleagues at PSOT in interpreting research findings. In the pursuit of these goals, the applicant will draw upon the resources of NYU School of Medicine, field. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Little has been done to design interventions to address intergenerational conflicts arising in forced migrant families. As African forced migrants constitute 55% of refugees resettled in the United States, addressing these gaps in the literature has the potential to affect a large proportion of our most vulnerable new neighbors. This project's focus on adapting Euro-American measures and service practices will provide a platform from which to develop research and interventions for other forced migrant groups (e.g. Iraqis)

描述（由申请人提供）：申请人正在修订为K23奖提供五年资金的请求，以提高他针对强迫移民家庭的卫生服务研究技能。他提议通过课程和结构化指导扩大和加深他的研究技能，并通过比较强迫移民和自愿西非人的代际冲突的开发和实施，以便为使用自一般移民文献适应强迫移民家庭的干预点。尽管许多研究表明，在移民后，非洲强迫移民家庭的困扰率很高，但没有人检查过这种困扰是大多数低收入的非洲移民还是有政治暴力史的人所独有的，或者这种困扰对孩子的影响是否有影响。培训：申请人将使用K奖获得定性研究方法，移民，受访者驱动的抽样，定性分析，多级建模和社交网络分析的课程和指导。纽约大学移民健康中心MS医学博士的赞助商Francesca Gany将通过常规会议提供有关移民人口的医疗研究的经验丰富的观点。研究：申请人提出了一系列三个研究项目，以补充培训。第一个是对西非社区如何讨论家庭问题的焦点小组研究，第二个是对西非社区的强迫移民和自愿移民之间的代际冲突的调查，第三个是焦点小组研究西非人，以解释第二次的发现，并准备针对代代代际冲突的干预措施发展。在K奖的最后一年，申请人将寻求用于治疗开发和后者临床试验的资金。环境：申请人是纽约大学医学院的助理教授，也是Bellevue/NYU酷刑幸存者（PSOT）的研究人员，这是一家专门从事难民和Asylee Health的医院诊所。他将与PSOT的西非客户和同事紧密合作，以解释研究结果。为了实现这些目标，申请人将利用纽约大学医学院的资源。公共卫生相关性：设计干预措施以解决强迫移民家庭引起的代际冲突。由于非洲强迫移民占美国重新安置的难民的55％，解决文献中的这些差距有可能影响我们最脆弱的新邻居中很大一部分。该项目专注于调整欧美措施和服务实践将提供一个平台，以开发其他强迫移民群体（例如伊拉克）的研究和干预措施（例如伊拉克人）
