Research careers in child psychiatry: an update on five NIMH workshops.
To foster research in child psychiatry, the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry sponsored three workshops in 1981-82 and two others in 1984. Overall, 60 trainees and several senior researchers participated. A 30-month follow-up of the careers of 34 residents who participated in the first three workshops and a description of the workshops were published earlier. This report summarizes the nature and degree of postworkshop activities of 23 additional child psychiatrists involved in the 1984 workshops, along with the needs, problems, and sources of help that they recognized as important. Promising is the fact that the vast majority were involved in research and research training and employed in academic settings.
