项目摘要

7. Project Summary/Abstract This Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) will develop the applicant, Dr. LaTrice Montgomery, into an independent investigator who can evaluate digital health technologies to improve engagement and treatment of cannabis and tobacco co-use among African American young adults. The career plan proposes training and stage IA-IB intervention development research and extends the applicant’s prior research and training to address career development goals in three areas: 1) clinical trials methodology and longitudinal data analysis, especially for smoking cessation trials (Winhusen), 2) the development of internet- based social media interventions to address co-use of cannabis and tobacco among African American young adults (Prochaska and Budney) and 3) mixed methods research (Plano Clark). These goals will be accomplished through formal coursework, seminars, and conferences under the mentorship of leaders in the addiction field. In this application, three related studies will be conducted that build on the applicant’s training goals and will contribute to an increased understanding of how social media can be applied to promote blunt use reduction among African American young adults. Blunts (hollowed-out tobacco cigar shells that are filled with cannabis) are widely used among African American young adults and have been associated with more severe cannabis use problems, such as inability to cut down use, and health problems, such as an increased risk of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases due to high levels of carbon monoxide exposure. Despite these negative drug use and health effects, few interventions have been designed to address blunt use, especially among African American young adults. Social media sites, such as Twitter, present unique opportunities to deliver online health-based interventions due to their popularity and ability to reach underserved and vulnerable populations who might be reluctant to enter or remain engaged in traditional substance abuse treatment. The applicant will therefore apply the training and skills acquired from this award to the following research aims: (1) use mixed methods to characterize the cultural norms, patterns of blunt use, quit experiences, treatment needs, and attitudes and preferences toward social-media based interventions for blunt use reduction among African American young adults, (2) draw integrated conclusions from mixed methods data to inform the development and pilot testing of a Twitter-based intervention and 3) conduct a small randomized clinical trial to test the acceptability, feasibility and initial efficacy of a Twitter-based treatment intervention for African American young adult blunt smokers. The training experience and results from the proposed work will position the applicant to pursue future independent NIH funding to develop this line of research and adapt and test future internet-based social media interventions for cannabis and tobacco co-use among African American young adults.

7。项目摘要/摘要这项受过指导的以患者为导向的研究职业发展奖（K23）将开发申请人博士。拉特里斯·蒙哥马利（Latrice Montgomery）成为一个独立的研究者，他们可以评估数字健康技术以改进非裔美国人年轻人的大麻和烟草的参与和治疗。职业计划提案培训和IA-IB阶段干预开发研究，并扩展了申请人的先前研究和培训以解决三个领域的职业发展目标：1）临床试验方法和纵向数据分析，特别是对于戒烟试验（Winhusen），2）互联网的发展 - 基于社交媒体的干预措施，以解决非裔美国人年轻人中大麻和烟草共同使用成人（Prochaska和Budney）和3）混合方法研究（Plano Clark）。这些目标将是通过正式的课程，半学院和会议在领导人的指导下完成成瘾字段。在此应用程序中，将进行三项相关研究，以基于应用程序的培训目标，并将有助于对如何应用社交媒体推广蓝调的方式有所帮助使用非裔美国人年轻人减少。钝（填充的烟草雪茄贝壳与大麻一起使用）在非裔美国人的年轻人中广泛使用，并且与更多相关严重的大麻使用问题，例如无法减少使用和健康问题，例如增加由于高水平的一氧化碳暴露而导致心血管和肺部疾病的风险。尽管如此负面药物使用和健康影响，很少有人设计干预措施来解决钝器的使用，尤其是在非洲裔美国年轻人中。社交媒体网站，例如Twitter，为您提供了独特的机会由于其受欢迎程度和达到服务欠缺的能力而提供基于在线健康的干预措施和可能不愿进入或继续从事传统药物滥用的脆弱人群治疗。因此，申请人将把从该奖项获得的培训和技能应用于以下研究目的：（1）使用混合方法来表征文化规范，钝器使用模式，退出经验，治疗需求以及对基于社会媒体的蓝调干预措施的经验和偏好（2）从混合方法中得出综合结论（2）数据以告知基于Twitter的干预措施的开发和试点测试3）随机临床试验以测试基于Twitter治疗的可接受性，可行性和初始效率干预非裔美国人年轻成人钝吸烟者。培训经验和结果拟议的工作将定位申请人购买未来的独立NIH资金，以开发这一行研究，适应和测试未来基于互联网的社交媒体干预大麻和烟草共同利用在非洲裔美国年轻人中。
