PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT There are approximately four million referrals to child protective services (CPS) in the United States each year. Children and youth who receive adequate support often experience fewer negative physical, mental, and social health outcomes and are less likely to perpetrate violence in the future than their peers who received no or inadequate support. Younger children tend to exhibit signs and symptoms that help others to identify their need for intervention. However, young people are unlikely to discuss and report their experiences through traditional, face-to-face interactions. Technology-facilitated communication (e.g., text, chat, social media) is the preferred communication method for many young people. The candidate’s prior work demonstrated that many young people share their child maltreatment experiences through social media and other technology-facilitated platforms. Thus, technology-facilitated communication may be leveraged to support young people through their help-seeking experience and connect them with appropriate resources. The objectives of this K01 are twofold: 1) This K01 will support the candidate to gain additional training required for an independent, interdisciplinary research career developing and evaluating technology-based interventions that support young people while seeking maltreatment-related resources and information. Working with a team of experts in the fields of developmental psychology, child and adolescent health, bioethics (including online research and research with vulnerable populations), computational analytics, and digital health communication, the candidate will gain 1a) knowledge and expertise in research ethics related to technology and vulnerable populations, 1b) skills in computational data analytics and visualization, and 1c) experience in developing and implementing health communication interventions. 2) The research conducted through this K01 will build the empirical foundations for future interventions by 2a) identifying the language used by young people to discuss their maltreatment experiences (Aim 1), 2b) evaluating the feasibility of using technology to reach young people seeking maltreatment-related information and support (Aim 2), and 2c) developing and piloting technology-facilitated interventions that connect young people to appropriate resources (Aim 3). After completing the training and research activities proposed in this K01, the candidate will be uniquely prepared to launch a career as an NIH- funded researcher investigating novel approaches to preventing the negative health consequences of child maltreatment.

项目概要/摘要 在美国，每年约有四百万人转介至儿童保护服务 (CPS)。 获得足够支持的儿童和青少年通常会经历较少的身体、心理和社交方面的负面影响 与未接受或未接受治疗的同龄人相比，他们的健康状况更好，并且未来实施暴力的可能性更小 支持不足。年幼的孩子往往会表现出迹象和症状，帮助其他人确定他们的需求 进行干预。然而，年轻人不太可能通过传统的、 面对面的互动。技术促进的沟通（例如文本、聊天、社交媒体）是首选 许多年轻人的沟通方式。候选人之前的工作表明，许多年轻人 人们通过社交媒体和其他技术辅助分享他们虐待儿童的经历 平台。因此，可以利用技术促进的沟通来支持年轻人通过他们的 寻求帮助的经验，并将他们与适当的资源联系起来。 K01 的目标有两个： 1) 本 K01 将支持候选人获得独立、跨学科所需的额外培训 研究职业发展和评估基于技术的干预措施，以支持年轻人，同时 寻求与虐待相关的资源和信息。与以下领域的专家团队合作 发展心理学、儿童和青少年健康、生物伦理学（包括在线研究和与 弱势群体）、计算分析和数字健康传播，候选人将获得 1a) 与技术和弱势群体相关的研究伦理方面的知识和专业知识，1b) 计算数据分析和可视化，以及 1c) 开发和实施健康方面的经验 沟通干预。 2）通过本次K01进行的研究将奠定实证基础 为未来的干预措施，2a) 确定年轻人在讨论他们的虐待时使用的语言 经验（目标 1）、2b）评估利用技术接触年轻人的可行性 与虐待相关的信息和支持（目标 2）和 2c）开发和试点技术促进 将年轻人与适当资源联系起来的干预措施（目标 3）。完成培训并 K01 中提出的研究活动，候选人将为开启 NIH 职业生涯做好独特的准备 资助的研究人员研究预防儿童负面健康后果的新方法 虐待。
