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.

项目摘要 随着社交媒体使用的急剧增加，美国的青年报道了同伴的率很高 胜利和精神困扰。在线社会之间关系的治疗可调节元素 消息传递，精神困扰和同伴胜利尚不清楚。这种缺乏清晰度部分是因为先前的工作 主要依靠这些社交联系的“快照”，在这种社交媒体上，青年自我报告的使用 以及一个时间点的相关经验。更密集的采样和实时表征 需要青少年的社交世界，以制定更好的临床医生，青年和指导的指导 父母。在在线和面对面受害的年轻人中，这项工作尤其紧迫。我们 以前曾招募并保留了急诊科（ED）的年轻人的高风险样本， 举报同伴胜利，精神困扰和社交媒体使用的高横截面和纵向率， 用于干预和队列研究。该研究项目是针对PA 19-373的回应，提案 我们先前工作中方法的创新组合。我们将注册240名青少年（13-17岁） 在一项为期6个月的队列研究中向ED提出任何医疗或伤害投诉。使用招聘， 采样和后续方法类似于我们的先前工作，我们将深入收集在线社交消息传递 （“ OSM”），面对面的互动（使用电子激活的录音机或收集片段的“耳朵” 可编码的音频），自我感知的情绪，孤独和同伴胜利（使用生态瞬间 评估或“ EMA”）1个月。我们将在0、1、3和6个月进行验证的自我报告调查。 最后，我们将收集从招募前2周到6个月研究结束的连续OSM数据。 我们将使用先前由我们组试验的高级计算建模来对齐和整合OSM， EAR和EMA数据，并对处于危险的青年的社会联系和孤立进行细微的描述。我们 然后将研究他们的社会联系，同伴胜利和未来之间的关系 心理健康，并将探讨人口统计和其他脆弱性因素如何影响这一点 关系。意义：与NICHD战略计划，我们的方法以及独特的 研究团队的组成确保我们的研究旨在识别“行为目标 干预。”我们的发现将为未来的面对面和人口水平的干预提供信息，以改善 社会联系，减少同伴胜利并改善高危青少年的幸福感。
