DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The six-year period between 18 and 24 years of age is critical in terms of the development of addictive behaviors. Marijuana use is particularly prevalent among young adults who smoke cigarettes, and there is reason to believe that the two behaviors should be approached concomitantly. This protocol describes a 4-year study that will investigate the effectiveness of two types of Brief Intervention (BI) for tobacco and marijuana use as linked to the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), a new screening test developed by the World Health Organization. Following initial exposure to smoking cessation therapy, 300 young adult cigarette smokers who are also marijuana users will be randomized to three conditions: 1) a wait list control group; 2) a group receiving one session of brief intervention for their marijuana use; and 3) a group receiving the same one session of MET along with a referral to an additional two sessions of brief therapy. Participants will be reinterviewed at 2, 4 and 6 months post randomization. The specific aims of the study are to answer the following questions: 1) Does exposure to smoking cessation therapy reduce marijuana smoking? 2) Does a marijuana-specific BI reduce marijuana use following smoking cessation therapy? 3) Does the more intensive three-session intervention reduce marijuana use more than one session? And 4) Are these interventions equally effective across groups defined by gender and ethnicity? The long-term objectives of the study are to develop screening and brief intervention procedures that will be feasible and effective in primary health care settings for the young adult population.

描述（由申请人提供）： 18 岁至 24 岁之间的六年时间对于成瘾行为的发展至关重要。吸食大麻在吸烟的年轻人中尤其普遍，有理由相信这两种行为应该同时处理。该协议描述了一项为期 4 年的研究，该研究将调查与酒精、吸烟和物质参与筛查测试 (ASSIST) 相关的两种类型的烟草和大麻使用简短干预 (BI) 的有效性，ASSIST 是由世界卫生组织。在初次接受戒烟治疗后，300 名同时吸食大麻的年轻成年吸烟者将被随机分配到三种条件：1）等待名单对照组； 2) 一组因吸食大麻而接受一次简短的干预； 3) 一组接受相同的一次 MET 治疗，并转介接受另外两次短期治疗。参与者将在随机分组后 2、4 和 6 个月接受重新访谈。该研究的具体目的是回答以下问题：1）接受戒烟治疗是否会减少吸食大麻？ 2) 大麻特异性 BI 是否会减少戒烟治疗后的大麻使用？ 3) 更密集的三期干预是否可以减少不止一次的大麻使用？ 4）这些干预措施在不同性别和种族的群体中是否同样有效？该研究的长期目标是制定筛查和简短的干预程序，这些程序在初级卫生保健环境中对年轻人来说是可行且有效的。
