A motivational interviewing intervention to improve social and emotional well-being among Aboriginal children

土著儿童的社会和情感幸福感(SEWB)比非土著儿童差。儿童时期不良的SEWB是长期心理健康不良的一个被低估的来源，而这反过来又会影响导致糖尿病和其他慢性病的感染性和炎症性应激的类型。在澳大利亚，我们第一次计划通过一项随机对照试验来促进土著儿童健康，该试验将利用激励性访谈来改善SEWB。

Aboriginal children have poorer social and emotional well-being (SEWB) than non-Aboriginal children. Poor SEWB in childhood is an under-appreciated source of long-term poor mental health which, in turn, influences the types of infectious and inflammatory stresses that lead to diabetes and other chronic conditions. For the first time in Australia, we plan to advance Aboriginal child health through a randomised controlled trial that will utilise motivational interviewing to improve SEWB.
