Across the nation, behavioral health concerns for youth are on the rise. In this context, American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) youth experience behavioral health disparities at some of the highest rates in the United States. Even as behavioral health services are becoming more available through mobile health and telehealth interventions, the lack of ubiquitous, high-speed Internet connectivity in rural tribal communities prevents many AIAN youths from accessing these critical services. It is in this context that we have partnered with the Hopi community to propose the Qöyangnuptu Intervention (QI), a sociotechnical system of care that integrates mobile healthcare (mHealth), relational support systems, and cultural ways of well-being. This project will combine community expertise with the expertise of clinical psychologists, education researchers, and computer scientists to pilot the QI. Importantly, this project will engage Hopi community members as co-researchers who will help shape our research design and pilot as we carry out the project. This project anticipates research outcomes will be helpful to many different communities who experience pernicious health and digital disparities, including other tribal communities, migrant communities, and rural communities.The QI Pilot will allow us to answer the research questions that drive our social science and technological Research. These questions include: (1) In AIAN communities with unique cultural characteristics, how should a youth-focused sociotechnical behavioral health intervention be designed to encourage sustained engagement and positively impact indicators of mental health?; and (2) How can interactive technical interventions be designed to best support sustained community engagement in a challenged network environment? This project will utilize an interdisciplinary approach to designing, piloting, and evaluating the QI; we integrate research expertise from clinical psychology, special education, human-computer interaction, computer networking, and public health. This project will take a participatory action research approach to ensure that our research is community-driven. This project will produce five key research outcomes: (i) QI App that enables Hopi youth to engage with culturally-tailored interactive experiences to build social and emotional resilience; (ii) a cross-age peer mentorship program facilitated through the QI App; (iii) family resilience workshops that raise awareness and literacy about behavioral at a community level; (iv) a community-curated database of behavioral health resources that help guide Hopi youth and families to relevant and accessible resources; and (v) digital skills workshops focused on training Hopi youth in the technical dimensions of app development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在全国范围内，对青少年行为健康的关注正在上升。在这种情况下，美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）青年在美国经历了一些最高比率的行为健康差异。尽管通过移动的保健和远程保健干预措施，行为保健服务越来越容易获得，但农村部落社区缺乏无处不在的高速互联网连接，使许多阿联和安联青年无法获得这些关键服务。正是在这种背景下，我们与霍皮族社区合作，提出了Qöyangnuptu干预（QI），这是一个社会技术护理系统，集成了移动的医疗保健（mHealth），关系支持系统和文化的福祉方式。该项目将联合收割机社区专业知识与临床心理学家，教育研究人员和计算机科学家的专业知识相结合，以试点QI。重要的是，该项目将吸引霍皮族社区成员作为共同研究人员，他们将在我们开展该项目时帮助塑造我们的研究设计和试点。 该项目预计研究成果将有助于许多不同的社区谁经历有害的健康和数字差距，包括其他部落社区，移民社区，和农村社区. QI试点将使我们能够回答推动我们的社会科学和技术研究的研究问题.这些问题包括：（1）在具有独特文化特征的AIAN社区，应如何设计以青年为重点的社会技术行为健康干预措施，以鼓励持续参与并积极影响心理健康指标？以及（2）如何设计交互式技术干预措施，以最好地支持社区在充满挑战的网络环境中持续参与？该项目将利用跨学科的方法来设计，试点和评估QI;我们整合了临床心理学，特殊教育，人机交互，计算机网络和公共卫生的研究专业知识。该项目将采取参与性行动研究的方法，以确保我们的研究是社区驱动的。该项目将产生五个关键的研究成果：（一）QI应用程序，使霍皮族青年能够参与文化定制的互动体验，以建立社会和情感弹性;（二）通过QI应用程序促进跨年龄的同伴辅导计划;（三）家庭弹性讲习班，提高社区一级行为的认识和扫盲; ㈣社区管理的行为健康资源数据库，帮助指导霍皮族青年和家庭获得相关和可获得的资源;和（v）数字技能研讨会，重点是培训霍皮青年在应用程序开发的技术层面。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
