DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations of smoking outcome expectancies over the last 15 years have established strong associations between expectancies and smoking initiation, smoking behavior and cessation, and risk factors for smoking uptake among adolescents. Recently, researchers have developed an innovative approach, an expectancy challenge, to modify outcome expectancies in order to prevent initiation of alcohol use among children and to decrease cigarette and alcohol use among adults. No published data yet exist on an expectancy challenge administered to adolescents to modify smoking outcome expectancies. Research has also demonstrated that although the prevalence of cigarette use is low for ethnic and racial minorities relative to non-Hispanic Caucasians during adolescence, prevalence rates increase most substantially among minority groups after age 18. Therefore, development of innovative smoking prevention approaches for ethnic and racial minorities are necessary. To that end, the primary aim of this small grant application is to modify an expectancy challenge such that it can be delivered to address smoking outcome expectancies among an ethnically and racially diverse population of young adolescents. In this mixed methods design, 128 non-Hispanic Caucasian, non-Hispanic African American, Hispanic, and Asian adolescents (age 12-14) will participate in a total of 16 focus groups. Data from the focus groups and self-report instruments will be used to develop a smoking expectancy challenge designed to be administered to ethnically and racially diverse young adolescents. The results of this project will facilitate a subsequent investigation of the efficacy of a smoking expectancy challenge in modifying smoking outcome expectancies among ethnically and racially diverse adolescents. The long-term goal of this line of research is to develop innovative smoking prevention and intervention approaches for adolescents. The research is relevant to public health in that it can make an important contribution to the decline of smoking among adolescents and therefore decrease smoking-related morbidity and mortality.

描述（由申请人提供）： 在过去15年中，对吸烟结果期望的横断面和纵向调查已经建立了预期与吸烟启动，吸烟行为和戒烟以及青少年吸烟吸收的危险因素之间的牢固关联。最近，研究人员开发了一种创新的方法，一种预期的挑战，以改变预期结果，以防止儿童饮酒并减少成年人中的香烟和饮酒。尚无关于对青少年进行预期挑战的公开数据，以改变预期吸烟结果。研究还表明，尽管相对于非西班牙裔高加索人在青少年期间，香烟的普遍性对于种族和种族少数群体的流行率较低，但在18岁以后，少数群体中的流行率最大。为此，这项小型赠款申请的主要目的是修改预期挑战，以便可以提出以解决年轻青少年种族和种族多样化的年轻人人口中的期望值。在这种混合方法设计中，128个非西班牙裔高加索人，非西班牙裔美国人，西班牙裔和亚洲青少年（12-14岁）将共同参加16个焦点小组。焦点小组和自我报告工具的数据将用于制定旨在对种族和种族多样化的年轻青少年进行管理的预期挑战。该项目的结果将有助于随后对预期挑战在改变种族和种族多样的青少年中预期的吸烟结果预期的效力。这一研究的长期目标是开发预防创新的吸烟和青少年干预方法。 这项研究与公共卫生有关，因为它可以为青少年吸烟的衰落做出重要贡献，因此可以降低与吸烟有关的发病率和死亡率。
