Beginning with the successful sequencing of the human genome two decades ago, the possibility of developing personalized health interventions based on one's biology has captured the imagination of researchers, medical providers, and individuals seeking health care services. However, the application of a personalized medicine approach to emotional and behavioral health has lagged behind the development of personalized approaches for physical health conditions. There is potential value in developing improved methods for integrating biological science with prevention science to identify risk and protective mechanisms that have biological underpinnings, and then applying that knowledge to inform prevention and intervention services for emotional and behavioral health. This report represents the work of a task force appointed by the Board of the Society for Prevention Research to explore challenges and recommendations for the integration of biological and prevention sciences. We present the state of the science and barriers to progress in integrating the two approaches, followed by recommended strategies that would promote the responsible integration of biological and prevention sciences. Recommendations are grounded in Community-Based Participatory Research approaches, with the goal of centering equity in future research aimed at integrating the two disciplines to ultimately improve the well-being of those who have disproportionately experienced or are at risk for experiencing emotional and behavioral problems.
二十年前人类基因组测序成功以来,基于个体生物学特征开发个性化健康干预措施的可能性激发了研究人员、医疗服务提供者以及寻求医疗服务的个人的想象力。然而,个性化医疗方法在情感和行为健康方面的应用落后于身体健康状况个性化方法的发展。开发将生物科学与预防科学相结合的改进方法具有潜在价值,以便识别具有生物学基础的风险和保护机制,然后将这些知识应用于为情感和行为健康提供预防和干预服务。本报告介绍了预防研究协会董事会任命的一个特别工作组的工作,该工作组旨在探讨生物科学与预防科学整合方面的挑战和建议。我们阐述了整合这两种方法的科学现状和进展障碍,随后提出了有助于促进生物科学与预防科学负责任整合的推荐策略。这些建议基于社区参与式研究方法,目标是在未来旨在整合这两个学科的研究中以公平为核心,最终改善那些不成比例地经历或面临情感和行为问题风险的人的福祉。
