Biobehavioral Research Approaches to reduce Effects of Trauma on Mental and Physical Health and Cognitive Outcomes in South Africa - Project Summary/Abstract The UCLA/South African Trauma Training Research (Phodiso) Program seeks five additional years of funding to prepare future investigators to conduct research on trauma exposure and injury prevention in the context of South Africa's high levels of interpersonal and community violence and intentional injuries. The Phodiso Program is an international collaboration between UCLA and the South African Research Consortium (SARC), which includes the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), North-West University (NWU), and University of Cape Town (UCT) and is based on a number of NIH-funded projects: 1) The Eban Project, a randomized clinical trial testing a culturally congruent intervention for HIV serodiscordant African American couples (R01; 2001-2009; El Bassel, et al., 2010); 2) The Implementation of the Eban Project, (NIH RO1; 2012-2017) 3) The Aftermath of Rape among South African Women (The Fulufhelo Project), a study examining the short- and long-term psychosocial sequelae of rape among South African women (R03; 2009-2013); and 4) The HIV/AIDS Substance use and Trauma Training Program for racial and ethnic minority postdoctoral scholars and early career investigators (R25; 2013-2018) (Wyatt and Milburn, co-PIs). Guided by ecological theory, social learning theory, and the Sexual Health Model, the focus of the Phodiso Scholar's research will be to minimize the negative health and mental health effects of trauma exposure, specifically depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in South Africa. An additional emphasis of the training will focus on the neurobiological and neurobehavioral manifestations of trauma, disease, substance use and intentional injury. In the past 10 years of funding, a total of eleven scholars have graduated from the Phodiso program and will join the core SARC and the TAMT, to assist with mentoring new Scholars. For this renewal, the UCLA and SARC core faculty and TAMT will conduct a countrywide application process to select one early career research candidate per year for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. Scholars will receive research mentorship including a quarter of study (i.e., a 3-month period) at UCLA, one selection and planning meeting and one short-term trauma workshop each year in South Africa. Scholars will conduct their own research projects in South Africa as a basis for future studies in this field, and work closely with their SARC host university and TAMT mentors. The Phodiso Trauma Training program and the research careers of the scholars will be tracked over time. Specifically, the sustainability of the training program and integration into academic, private, and government-supported agencies and the Scholar's ability to establish and sustain independent research careers will be evaluated and documented. Future goals will include encouraging the South African government to adopt the Phodiso program as a successful and replicable model of cross-cultural trauma research training.
