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）： 过去 15 年对吸烟结果预期的横断面和纵向调查表明，预期与吸烟开始、吸烟行为和戒烟以及青少年吸烟的危险因素之间存在密切关联。最近，研究人员开发了一种创新方法，即预期挑战，以修改结果预期，以防止儿童开始饮酒并减少成人吸烟和饮酒。目前还没有关于对青少年进行预期挑战以改变吸烟结果预期的公开数据。研究还表明，尽管在青春期期间，少数族裔和种族的吸烟率相对于非西班牙裔白种人来说较低，但 18 岁以后少数族裔的吸烟率增幅最为显着。因此，针对少数族裔和种族制定创新的吸烟预防方法少数族裔是必要的。为此，这项小额赠款申请的主要目的是修改预期挑战，以便能够解决不同种族和种族的青少年群体中吸烟结果的预期问题。在这种混合方法设计中，128 名非西班牙裔白种人、非西班牙裔非裔美国人、西班牙裔和亚洲青少年（12-14 岁）将参加总共 16 个焦点小组。来自焦点小组和自我报告工具的数据将用于制定吸烟预期挑战，旨在针对不同种族和种族的年轻青少年。该项目的结果将有助于随后对吸烟预期挑战在改变种族和种族多样化青少年吸烟结果预期方面的功效进行调查。该研究的长期目标是为青少年开发创新的吸烟预防和干预方法。 该研究与公共卫生相关，因为它可以为减少青少年吸烟做出重要贡献，从而降低与吸烟相关的发病率和死亡率。
