This training institute will foster community co-led research programs that focus on behavioral, social, and environmental factors promoting health and preventing adverse health outcomes among people whose lifestyles represent the cultural mosaic of communities. Youth violence, drug use, family turmoil, intimate partner violence, psychological and personal distress, and adverse life experiences are some examples of risk factors that may be the research focus of attending teams. This forum is designed to support related National Institutes of Health (NIH)  research priorities.

The Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide is dedicated to reducing mortality and morbidity from suicide and attempted suicide.
