Funded by a Training Grant from NIMH, the ASU Prevention Research
Center provides training in child mental health/primary prevention
to post-doctoral and pre-doctoral fellows. Training is provided
in research on risk and resilience (particularly longitudinal
studies), the design, implementation, empirical evaluation,
and dissemination to natural settings of preventive interventions,
and the quantitative methodologies required to accomplish these
goals. All trainees attend a weekly seminar meeting in which
we share our work, host visits from prevention scientists, and
give presentations on professional socialization issues including
grant writing and ethical issues. Programs of training are tailored
to the individual needs and interests of fellows. Post-doctoral
trainees choose two research teams/mentors to work with, and
select one class per semester to audit. Training is for a two
year period. Pre-doctoral trainees pursue graduate coursework
and mentored prevention research for a one year period. Interested
applicants should contact Laurie Chassin
(laurie.chassin@asu.edu).
The program has been described in two publications, and interested
applicants should consult these for more details.
