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： 我们研究了在线社交情报干预（SII）在改善健康和福祉方面的功效。 通过共同的方式成为监护祖母 (CGM) 及其青少年监护孙子女 (ACG) 增强他们的社会能力。这个目标人群特别重要，因为 CGM 和 ACG 经历了重大的早年逆境，导致对他人过度警惕、不信任、 社会孤立、人际冲突以及无法获得家人和朋友的温暖和支持。 大量研究表明，“高风险家庭”中的这些关系挑战往往会导致终身 人际交往困难会增加出现行为和身体健康问题的可能性。此外， 青春期是社会能力发展的关键时期，社会能力的发展受到支持性因素的影响。 女性父母人物的关怀和积极榜样。然而，由于 CGM 的携带能力 社交技能的代际传递受到挑战，研究联合社交智力训练 对于 CGM-ACG 二元组来说，对于扭转这种负面后遗症很有价值。然而，迄今为止，还没有其他研究人员 done so.为了弥补这一差距，我们将开展一项在线随机临床试验，招募 340 名全国招募的受试者 CGM-ACG（12-18 岁）二人组分配给 SII 或注意力控制条件。数据将是 通过电话填写问卷在测试前和测试后以及 3、6 和 9 个月的随访中获得。 将从 170 个随机选择的二人组中在线收集每日日记，并进行定性访谈 对 60 人进行了一项研究，旨在探讨 SII 如何影响他们的日常社交能力和社会关系。我们将 获得关键社会认知过程、亲密人际关系质量的定量和定性测量 关系、心理健康和身体健康。行政医疗、刑事和教育记录 所有 340 个二元组也将用于成本效益分析，以检查公众负担的变化 系统。这些混合方法允许严格检查四个具体目标：(1) 调查 SII 是否 增强社会能力，进而产生关系质量、幸福感和幸福感的长期变化 physical health;这包括确定一个二人组成员社交能力的提高是否会导致成为伴侣 effects in the other; (2) 检验累积风险、性别和年龄是否影响 SII 疗效； (3) To study CGM-ACG 二人组如何定性地认为 SII 改变了他们的社会能力并产生了 positive outcomes; (4) 评估 SII 给参与者及其社区带来的经济利益。 这些目标解决了一个非常重要的公共卫生问题，将为未来支持广泛的努力提供信息 一系列高风险家庭，例如有监护权的祖家庭，他们通常无法获得正式支持 服务。我们的 SII 具有优势，因为它价格便宜、在线交付、非污名化并且能够 覆盖地理上分散且急需支持性规划的目标人群。
