SUMMARY: We examine the efficacy of an online Social Intelligence Intervention (SII) at improving the health and well- being of custodial grandmothers (CGMs) and their adolescent custodial grandchildren (ACG) through mutual enhancement of their social competencies. This target population is of particular importance because both CGMs and ACG experience significant early life adversities that lead to hypervigilance of others, mistrust, social isolation, interpersonal conflict, and the inability to garner warmth and support from family and friends. Numerous studies have shown that these relational challenges within “risky families” often lead to life-long interpersonal difficulties that increase the probability of behavioral and physical health problems. Furthermore, adolescence is a key period for the development of social competence, which is influenced by supportive caregiving and positive modeling from female parent figures. However, because the ability of CGMs to carry out this intergenerational transmission of social skills is challenged, examining joint social intelligence training for CGM-ACG dyads is valuable for reversing this negative sequela. Yet, to date, no other investigators have done so. To address this gap, we will conduct an online randomized clinical trial with 340 nationally-recruited CGM-ACG (ages 12-18) dyads assigned to either the SII or an attention control condition. Data will be obtained at pre- and post-test, and at 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups via questionnaires completed by phone. Daily dairies will be collected online from 170 randomly selected dyads, and qualitative interviews will be conducted with 60 dyads to probe how the SII affected their daily social competence and social ties. We will obtain quantitative and qualitative measures of key social cognitive processes, quality of close interpersonal ties, psychological well-being, and physical health. Administrative medical, criminal, and education records for all 340 dyads will also be obtained for cost-benefit analyses that examine changes in burden on public systems. These mixed-methods allow rigorous examination of four specific aims: (1) To investigate if the SII enhances social competencies that, in turn, produce long-term changes in relationship quality, well-being, and physical health; this includes determining if increased social competence in one dyad member leads to partner effects in the other; (2) To examine if cumulative risk, gender, and age moderate SII efficacy; (3) To study qualitatively how CGM-ACG dyads view the SII as having changed their social competencies and yielded positive outcomes; and (4) To assess the financial benefits of the SII to participants and their communities. These aims address a highly significant public health problem that will inform future efforts to support a wide range of high risk families, like custodial grandfamilies, who typically have insufficient access to formal support services. Our SII is advantageous because it is inexpensive, delivered online, non-stigmatizing, and capable of reaching a target population that is geographically disperse and greatly in need of supportive programming.

概括： 我们研究了在线社会情报干预（SII）在改善健康和良好状况方面的效率 是保管祖母（CGM）及其青春期的保管孙子（ACG） 增强其社会能力。这个目标人群特别重要，因为这两者都 CGM和ACG经历了重大的早期逆境，导致他人过度维护，Missrust， 社会隔离，人际冲突以及无法获得家人和朋友的温暖和支持。 许多研究表明，“有风险家庭”中的这些关系挑战通常会导致终身 人际关系难度增加了行为和身体健康问题的可能性。此外， 青少年是发展社会能力的关键时期，受支持的影响 女性父母人物的照料和积极的建模。但是，因为CGM具有携带的能力 挑战了这种社会技能的代际传播，检查了联合社会智能培训 对于CGM-ACG，二元组对于逆转这部负续集很有价值。但是，迄今为止，没有其他调查员 这样做了。为了解决这一差距，我们将与340个全国合同的在线随机临床试验进行在线随机临床试验 分配给SII或注意力控制条件的CGM-ACG（12-18岁）二元组。数据将是 在测试前和测试后获得，并通过电话完成的问卷调查进行3，6和9个月的随访。 每日乳制品将从170个随机选择的二元组中在线收集，定性采访将是 与60个二元组一起进行，以探究SII如何影响他们的日常社会能力和社会联系。我们将 获得关键社会认知过程的定量和定性度量，紧密的人际关系质量 关系，心理健康和身体健康。行政医疗，刑事和教育记录 还将获得所有340个二元组，以进行成本效益分析，以检查Burnen在公共场合的变化 系统。这些混合方法允许对四个特定目的进行严格检查：（1）研究SII是否是否 增强社会能力，而社会能力又会在关系质量，福祉和 身体健康；这包括确定一个二元成员的社会能力是否增加导致合作伙伴 另一个影响； （2）检查累积风险，性别和年龄中等SII的有效性； （3）学习 从定性上，CGM-ACG如何将SII视为改变了他们的社会能力并产生了 积极的结果； （4）评估SII对参与者及其社区的经济利益。 这些目的解决了一个非常重大的公共卫生问题，该问题将为未来的努力提供支持，以支持广泛 高风险家庭范围，例如托管祖父母，他们通常无法获得正式支持 服务。我们的SII是有利的，因为它价格便宜，在线交付，不耻辱，并且能够 到达地理上散布的目标人群，需要支持编程。
