Adaptation and assessment of a common element treatment protocol designed to improve mental health
Full Description
With support from my primary mentor Dr. Borba, my co-mentors Drs. Freier, Dorsey, and Gelaye, and my collaborator Dr. Bird, I propose a comprehensive interdisciplinary research and training plan focused on developing my expertise in clinical intervention research and qualitative assessment of adaptations of mental health treatments for people who have relocated.
The proposed study investigates the potential avenues of treatment for mental health disorders that arise due to the stress of relocating. My research program goal is to be an independent researcher and examine mental health treatment for the purpose of understanding treatment seeking and retention for mental disorders for populations who experience stress that leads to mental health disorders, such as people who relocate or move. Preliminary findings from people who relocate under conditions of stress suggest that there are risk factors for mental health particular to the journey context. Thus, this proposal utilizes qualitative methods to examine, and subsequently target, context specific factors that facilitate treatment seeking and retention for relocated populations with mental disorders.
Framed within implementation science this proposal will include in person interviews with people who have relocated. These interviews will be leveraged to adapt the Common Elements Treatment Approach, a transdiagnostic intervention, for the unique challenges of relocation. In collaboration with my mentors, I have developed a comprehensive training plan that will prepare me with the requisite skill set for a research career. My training and career development goals are to cultivate skills in: (1) qualitative methods, (2) adaptations of mental health treatments, and (3) analysis of clinical interventions.
These skills will allow me to become an independent scientist focused on mental health.
