项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Concurrent with a dramatic rise in social media use, youth in the United States are reporting high rates of peer victimization and mental distress. Treatment-modifiable elements of the relationship between online social messaging, mental distress, and peer victimization are unclear. This lack of clarity is partly because prior work relies primarily on “snapshots” of these social connections, in which youth self-report on their social media use and related experiences at a single point in time. More intensive sampling and real-time characterization of adolescents’ social worlds is needed to develop better interventions and guidance for clinicians, youth, and parents. This work is particularly urgent among youth with high rates of online and in-person victimization. We have previously recruited and retained high-risk samples of youth from the emergency department (ED), who report high cross-sectional and longitudinal rates of peer victimization, mental distress, and social media use, for both intervention and cohort studies. This research project, developed in response to PA 19-373, proposes an innovative combination of methods from our prior work. We will enroll 240 adolescents (age 13-17) presenting to the ED for any medical or injury complaint in a 6-month cohort study. Using recruitment, sampling, and follow-up methods similar to our prior work, we will intensively collect online social messaging (“OSM”), in-person interactions (using the Electronically Activated Recorder, or “EAR”, which collects snippets of codable audio), and self-perceived mood, loneliness, and peer victimization (using ecological momentary assessments, or “EMA”) for 1 month. We will administer validated self-report surveys at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months. Finally, we will collect continuous OSM data from 2 weeks prior to recruitment to the end of the 6-month study. We will use advanced computational modeling, as previously piloted by our group, to align and integrate OSM, EAR, and EMA data, and develop nuanced descriptions of at-risk youth’s social connection and isolation. We will then examine the relationship between their social connectedness, peer victimization, and future psychological well-being, and will explore how demographic and other vulnerability factors influence this relationship. SIGNIFICANCE: Consistent with the NICHD strategic plan, our methodology as well as the unique composition of our research team ensures that our research is aimed at identification of “targets for behavioral intervention.” Our findings will inform future in-person and population-level interventions to improve patterns of social connectedness, reduce peer victimization, and improve well-being among at-risk adolescents.

项目概要在社交媒体使用量急剧增加的同时，美国年轻人报告同龄人使用社交媒体的比例也很高受害与精神困扰之间关系的治疗可修改因素。信息传递、精神困扰和同伴受害情况尚不明确，部分原因是之前的工作。主要是这些社会关系的“快照”，其中青少年自我报告他们的社交媒体使用情况以及单个时间点的相关经验。青少年的社交世界需要为老年人、青少年和青少年制定更好的干预措施和指导。对于在线和面对面受害率较高的青少年来说，这项工作尤为紧迫。此前曾从急诊室（ED）招募并保留了高危青少年样本，他们报告同伴受害、精神困扰和社交媒体使用的横断面和纵向比率较高，该研究项目是根据 PA 19-373 制定的，建议进行干预和队列研究。我们将招募 240 名青少年（13-17 岁）。在为期 6 个月的队列研究中向 ED 提出任何医疗或伤害投诉，抽样和后续方法与我们之前的工作类似，我们将集中收集在线社交消息（“OSM”），面对面互动（使用电子激活记录器，或“EAR”，收集片段可编码音频），以及自我感知的情绪、孤独和同伴受害（使用生态瞬时我们将在第 0、1、3 和 6 个月进行经过验证的自我报告调查。最后，我们将收集从招募前两周到为期 6 个月的研究结束的连续 OSM 数据。我们将使用先进的计算模型（正如我们团队之前试点的那样）来调整和集成 OSM， EAR 和 EMA 数据，并对高危青少年的社会联系和孤立进行细致入微的描述。然后将检查他们的社会联系、同伴受害和未来之间的关系心理健康，并将探讨人口和其他脆弱性因素如何影响这一点意义：与 NICHD 战略计划、我们的方法以及独特的一致。我们研究团队的组成确保我们的研究旨在确定“行为目标” 我们的研究结果将为未来的面对面和人口层面的干预措施提供信息，以改善社会联系，减少同伴受害，并改善高危青少年的福祉。
