This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Recent data from our study of young adults burned as children indicate that the most important long-term disabilities for burn survivors are psychological in nature. In other words, the social and emotional challenges they face seem to develop into long-lasting anxieties, fear of new social settings, and decreased self-esteem. The current study aims to (1) see if the positive findings from a previous study about a social skills training program will work again, and (2) test whether or not the previous positive findings can be maintained or amplified by modifying the format from "intensive" to "outpatient", as an "outpatient" format is less costly and more closely resembles the usual clinical schedule for most healthcare facilities. We will "randomly" assign subjects to either receive the social skills intervention or not. For the ones who receive the social skills intervention, they will be further divided into two types of groups, both of which will have the same content and will take place over the course of four days. However, the first type of group ("intensive") will take place over four days in a row (e.g., Friday to Monday) and the second type of group ("outpatient") will take place over four Saturdays in a row. At the completion of this study, we anticipate describing an efficient and relatively inexpensive intervention.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 我们对儿童时期烧伤的年轻人进行的研究的最新数据表明，烧伤幸存者最重要的长期残疾本质上是心理障碍。 换句话说，他们面临的社交和情感挑战似乎会发展成为长期的焦虑、对新社会环境的恐惧和自尊心的下降。 目前的研究目的是（1）看看之前关于社交技能培训计划的研究的积极结果是否会再次发挥作用，以及（2）测试是否可以通过将形式从“强化”修改为“门诊”来维持或放大以前的积极结果，因为“门诊”形式成本较低，并且更接近大多数医疗机构通常的临床时间表。 我们将“随机”分配受试者接受或不接受社交技能干预。 对于接受社交技能干预的人，他们将进一步分为两类，两组的内容相同，为期四天。 然而，第一种类型的小组（“强化”）将连续四天（例如，周五至周一）进行，第二种类型的小组（“门诊”）将连续四个周六进行。 在这项研究完成后，我们预计会描述一种有效且相对便宜的干预措施。
