Abstract

This Letter to the Editor reports the effectiveness of a pilot program to increase interest in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) research among diverse trainees. Medical trainees at all career levels were invited to participate in a free, year-long, monthly virtual research workshop series sponsored by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP). Sessions featured diverse CAP researchers sharing their career journeys and research interests during hour-long live workshops with interactive participants. These live sessions were also recorded to allow for later viewing. Survey results from workshop participants indicated that the sessions were effective in improving participant understanding of available CAP research. Sessions were also effective in inspiring participants to learn more about CAP research and how to participate in it. Overall, participants rated the sessions as helpful and would recommend the series to others. Based upon the pilot program, future recommendations include ongoing expansion of such programs highlighting diversity and representation within the CAP research workforce. In addition, optimization of programs should consider ways to maximize recruitment and retention of diverse medical trainees in CAP research.

期刊介绍： The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families. We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings. In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health. At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
