简要总结
This feasibility pilot trial seeks to examine the feasibility and target engagement of a coping skills and psychoeducational intervention delivered via an automated conversational chatbot named SMILEY in reducing frequency and stress associated with online victimization among marginalized youth, including those who are Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+, and experiencing depression and online victimization.
The primary inquiry of this study is whether SMILEY can enhance the safety and decrease stress levels in online environments for marginalized youth coping with depression and online victimization.
Participants will engage with materials, including interactive web resources, to learn safe social media practices and provide coping skills for experiencing online victimization. These materials will cover topics such as managing online time, addressing negative comments, and fostering positive connections.
Participants will interact with SMILEY at their own pace over 4 weeks. This interaction will provide information and guidance on dealing with online victimization and the associated stress.
详细描述
This study proposes to determine the feasibility and target engagement of a specialized chatbot intervention named SMILEY in reducing online victimization and stress among marginalized youth, including those who are Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+, and experiencing depression and online victimization. The primary inquiry of this study is whether SMILEY can enhance the safety and decrease stress levels in online environments for marginalized youth coping with depression and online victimization.
Pilot trial: Randomizing 2 to 1 in this study using Efron's biased coin toss procedure. Age groups will be balanced (12-14 years old versus 15-18 years old) given that the nature of online victimization and platforms on which it occurs differ across adolescent development, racial/ethnic minority backgrounds, and sexual and gender minority backgrounds.
Sample size and power considerations: Participants (n=75; 2:1 randomization) will be identified during screening for the ETUDES Center Primary Care Study who meet inclusion criteria.
Participant groups:
A. Intervention Group: Participants will engage with SMILEY for support, in addition to receiving brief psychoeducation.

结局指标
主要结局
Engagement with the chatbot
时间窗: 12 months
Engagement will be measured by the timestamps of usage of the intervention. Timestamps will be generated when there is a message from the user and a corresponding message from the chatbot.
Perceived satisfaction of the chatbot
时间窗: 12 months
Perceived satisfaction of the chatbot will be measured by the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ). Response options and scores include: "Strongly Agree (1)" to "Strongly Disagree (7)." Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating lower levels of satisfaction and lower scores indicating higher levels satisfaction.
