The authors surveyed members of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT) and chief residents of training programs in 1999. (The Residency Review Committee [RRC] requires research training in psychiatry.) The survey gathered information on faculty and resident participation in research, attitudes, presentations and/or publications. The total response rate was 49%. Faculty and residents showed no significant difference in their residency training in research offerings/requirements; however, current residents showed greater access to more programs offering research. Ninety-eight percent of respondents indicated that research training should be offered to residents, but only 32% thought that research should be a requirement. Psychiatry residencies continue to require strong leadership in clearly defining acceptable components of strong research programs.
