项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): West Virginia is characterized by its rural and rugged terrain, depressed economy, and poor access to adequate medical services. It is the only state that lies entirely within Appalachia. For those workers who are employed, work is often labor intensive such as that required in underground mining, family farming, timber harvesting and other rural occupations. These factors contribute to an injury fatality rate that exceeds the national rate. As the state's land-grant flagship institution for both research and patient care, West Virginia University (WVU) is committed to improving the health and safety of West Virginians. While significant improvements in emergency medicine, trauma care and injury prevention have occurred over the last 10 years, there remains a critical need for injury research, education, and dissemination activities throughout the state and surrounding region. The mission of the WVU ICRC is to advance the science and practice of injury control through research, education, and information dissemination. Over the next five years, the Center plans to accomplish this mission by pursuing the following Specific Aims: 1) conduct and stimulate interdisciplinary injury control research, with emphasis on injuries affecting high-risk rural populations; 2) promote scholarship and leadership in injury control by educating the next generation of WVU graduate students and medical students in the science and practice of injury control; 3) Provide accurate and timely information on the health and economic burden imposed by injuries and the effectiveness of preventive interventions through a range of dissemination activities; and 4) maintain an organizational structure that supports our mission and enhances Center growth, quality, and efficiency through an evaluation and review process. Six research projects are proposed: 1) Rural-Urban Differences in Injury Hospitalizations (large, acute care/prevention [AC/P]); 2) Development and Evaluation of an Intervention for Intimate Partner Violence in the Context of Nurse Home Visits (large, P); 3) The Black-White Suicide Paradox: A Multilevel Multiple Cause-of-Death Evaluation (small, P); 4) Understanding the Long-term Consequences of Injury among Older Adults (small, P); 4) Adaptive Measures of Family Violence (small, P); and 6) How often do Catastrophic Injury Victims Become Medicaid Recipients? (small, P/AC).

描述（由申请人提供）：西弗吉尼亚州的特征是其农村和坚固的地形，经济沮丧以及获得足够的医疗服务的不良通道。这是唯一完全位于阿巴拉契亚州内的状态。对于那些受雇的工人，工作通常是劳动密集的，例如地下采矿，家庭农业，木材收割和其他农村职业所需的工作。这些因素导致伤害死亡率超过国家利率。作为该州的研究和患者护理的土地授予旗舰机构，西弗吉尼亚大学（WVU）致力于改善西弗吉尼亚人的健康和安全。尽管过去十年来已经发生了急诊医学，创伤护理和预防伤害的显着改善，但在整个州和周边地区，仍需对伤害研究，教育和传播活动的迫切需求。 WVU ICRC的使命是通过研究，教育和信息传播来推进伤害控制的科学和实践。在接下来的五年中，该中心计划通过追求以下特定目的来完成这项任务：1）进行和刺激跨学科伤害控制研究，重点是影响高危农村人口的伤害； 2）通过教育下一代WVU研究生和医学生，以促进奖学金和领导损伤控制； 3）提供有关受伤造成的健康和经济负担的准确，及时的信息，以及通过一系列传播活动的预防干预措施的有效性； 4）维持一个组织结构，通过评估和审查过程来支持我们的使命并提高中心的增长，质量和效率。提出了六个研究项目：1）损伤住院的农村城市差异（大，急性护理/预防[AC/P]）； 2）在护士家访的背景下，开发和评估亲密伴侣暴力的干预（大，P）； 3）黑白自杀悖论：多重多重死亡原因评估（小，p）； 4）了解老年人受伤的长期后果（小，P）； 4）家庭暴力的适应性措施（小，P）； 6）灾难性伤害受害者多久成为医疗补助接收者？（小，P/AC）。
