PROJECT SUMMARY The overall goals of this K01 Mentored Career Development Award are to understand how young adults’ (age 18-25) social media use affects their nicotine vaping and to identify intervention targets that mitigate social media’s impact on vaping. Prevalence of vaping and social media use among young adults have increased in tandem. Exposure to vaping-related social media content is common and is associated with vaping. Intense social media use appears to contribute to young adults’ increased mental health symptoms, which are linked to tobacco product use. This project aims to contribute to scientific understanding of the causal links between social media use and vaping in young adulthood and to explore solutions to reduce young adults’ vaping and improve their mental health. In Study 1, young adults with past-month vaping will report time spent on social media, vaping-related social media content exposure, social comparison on social media, mental health, and vaping behavior. After a 1-month baseline measurement period, they will be randomized to reduce their social media use (incentivized) or use social media as usual for a 3-month experimental period. Longitudinal within- and between-subjects analyses will test relationships between time spent on social media, risk factors for vaping, and vaping behavior. In Study 2, young adults will participate in focus groups exploring intervention strategies for reducing social media use and vaping and improving their mental health. Potential intervention targets will include any significant risk factors for vaping identified in Study 1. Specific research aims are to: (1) investigate the relationships between a reduction in social media use and: a) vaping content exposure, b) social comparison, and c) mental health; (2) examine whether reducing social media use reduces past-month vaping days, vaping episodes per vaping day, and puffs per vaping episode; and (3) explore digital intervention strategies for reducing young adults’ social media use and vaping. At the University of Southern California, the candidate will pursue the following training aims: (1) to develop expertise in young adults’ behavioral health; (2) to learn and employ longitudinal statistical modeling to analyze relationships between social media activity, vaping, and mental health; and (3) to use qualitative data to inform the development of health behavior intervention strategies in a digital context. This project will support the candidate’s development as an independent investigator with expertise in digital and behavioral health.

项目摘要 这个K01指导职业发展奖的总体目标是了解年轻人的年龄 18-25）社交媒体使用会影响其尼古丁烟，并确定减轻社会的干预目标 媒体对烟的影响。年轻人中烟和社交媒体使用的流行率有所增加 串联。接触与烟有关的社交媒体内容很常见，并且与烟有关。激烈的 社交媒体使用似乎有助于年轻人的心理健康症状增加，这与 烟草产品使用。该项目旨在为科学理解对因果关系的科学理解 社交媒体在成年期间使用和烟雾，并探索减少年轻人烟和的解决方案 改善他们的心理健康。在研究1中，过去月烟的年轻人将报告花在社交上的时间 媒体，与烟有关的社交媒体内容曝光，社交媒体上的社交比较，心理健康和 烟行为。在经过1个月的基线测量期之后，它们将被随机分配以减少社交 在3个月的实验期间，媒体使用（激励）或像往常一样使用社交媒体。纵向 受试者之间的分析将测试在社交媒体上花费的时间之间的关系， 烟和烟行为。在研究2中，年轻人将参加探索干预的焦点小组 减少社交媒体使用，蒸发和改善其心理健康的策略。潜在干预 目标将包括研究1中确定的烟雾的任何重要危险因素。具体的研究目的是：（1） 研究社交媒体减少的关系和： 社会比较，c）心理健康； （2）检查是否减少社交媒体的使用是否减少了过去的月份 蒸发的日子，每个烟雾的烟雾发作以及每烟剧集； （3）探索数字干预 减少年轻人的社交媒体使用和烟的策略。在南加州大学， 候选人将追求以下培训目的：（1）在年轻人的行为健康方面发展专业知识； （2） 学习和员工纵向统计建模，以分析社交媒体活动之间的关系， 烟与心理健康； （3）使用定性数据来告知健康行为的发展 在数字环境中的干预策略。该项目将支持候选人的发展 具有数字和行为健康专业知识的独立研究者。
