Children of active serving military personnel are a niche population under unique psychosocial conditions having unique concerns relating to their emotional health and well-being. While there has been vast research on military personnel and their health outcomes the children of said personnel have received relatively little research interest. Research on this population can help understand the unique factors and experiences that inform potential interventions to promote physical and psychological health. How changes in social relationships might relate to adverse events in the child's environment. This proposed PhD comprises three studies. First, a feasibility study to understand any barriers in how social network (SN) data collection tools can be used with adolescent children from serving military families. Second, an 18-month longitudinal study investigating the changes of the participants' social networks, emotional health, and well-being. And finally, a mixed method consolidation study to get overall opinion of the usage and efficacy of the SN data collection tools. The findings will be disseminated to academic, public and organization audiences. This interdisciplinary research project will benefit organizational bodies (e.g., charities, schools) focusing on this population, and will lay the foundation for developing methods to instil greater resilience in children of military personnel.

现役军人的子女是一个特殊的心理社会条件下的小众群体，对他们的情绪健康和福祉有着独特的关注。尽管对军事人员及其健康状况进行了大量研究，但这些人员的子女受到的研究兴趣相对较少。对这一人群的研究可以帮助了解独特的因素和经历，为促进身心健康的潜在干预措施提供信息。社会关系的变化如何与儿童环境中的不良事件相关。该拟议的博士学位包括三项研究。首先，进行一项可行性研究，以了解如何将社交网络 (SN) 数据收集工具用于服役军人家庭的青少年儿童。其次，一项为期 18 个月的纵向研究，调查参与者的社交网络、情绪健康和幸福感的变化。最后，进行混合方法整合研究，以获得对 SN 数据收集工具的使用和功效的总体看法。研究结果将向学术界、公众和组织受众传播。这个跨学科研究项目将使关注这一人群的组织机构（例如慈善机构、学校）受益，并将为开发增强军人子女适应能力的方法奠定基础。
