Social Influence Strategies During a Web-based Smoking Prevention Intervention for Adolescents
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Surveys, ASPIRE, and 1 other intervention for Tobacco Use Behavior. Completed, enrolled 393 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The central hypothesis of this study is that the addition of social influence strategies to a web-based program called ASPIRE will boost its success in lowering intention to use tobacco among adolescents and experiencing stronger positive social influence. The study will involve a nested group randomized controlled trial with adolescents from after-school programs and schools (e.g., the PK Yonge school) in Florida.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Surveys include questions related to tobacco use behavior and attitude toward tobacco, as well as demographic and personality questions. Psychosocial surveys and social network surveys are also completed to capture adolescents' network of friends and opinion leaders.
Participants engage in four to five 70-minute sessions of ASPIRE spread over a period of 4 weeks. During ASPIRE use, participants face a screen and individually watch videos and engage in computer-based activities related to the negative effects of tobacco.
In groups, participants engage in four to five 70-minute sessions of ASPIRE conducted over a period of 4 weeks. However, during each session, ASPIRE use is coupled with game-based social activities (GSAs). During ASPIRE use, participants watch videos and engage in computer-based activities on the same computer screen. Also, in groups, participants engage in the paper-based GSAs as a team and collaborate as they complete the activities. The GSAs contain games about the effects of tobacco. Groups are allocated based on adolescents' network of friendships.
