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. 项目总结/摘要这项以患者为导向的研究职业发展奖（K23）将培养申请人 Dr. LaTrice Montgomery，成为一名独立调查员，可以评估数字健康技术以改善非裔美国年轻人对大麻和烟草同时使用的参与和治疗。计划提出培训和 IA-IB 阶段干预开发研究，并扩展申请人先前的研究和培训，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，以解决非裔美国年轻人同时使用大麻和烟草的问题成人（Prochaska 和 Budney）和 3）混合方法研究（Plano Clark）这些目标将是。在领导者的指导下通过正式课程、研讨会和会议完成在此申请中，将在申请人的培训基础上进行三项相关研究。目标，并将有助于加深对如何应用社交媒体来促进直率的理解减少非裔美国年轻人的使用 Blunts（空心烟草雪茄烟壳，填充）。大麻）在非洲裔美国年轻人中广泛使用，并与更多严重的大麻使用问题，例如无法减少使用，以及健康问题，例如增加尽管如此，高浓度的一氧化碳暴露仍会导致心血管和肺部疾病的风险。药物使用和健康的负面影响，很少有干预措施旨在解决直接使用问题，特别是 Twitter 等社交媒体网站为非裔美国年轻人提供了独特的机会。提供基于健康的在线干预措施，因为它们很受欢迎并且能够覆盖服务不足和服务不足的人群可能不愿意进入或继续从事传统药物滥用的弱势群体因此，申请人将从该奖项获得的培训和技能应用于以下治疗。研究目的：（1）使用混合方法来表征文化规范、直率使用、戒烟模式经验、治疗需求以及对基于社交媒体的钝性干预措施的态度和偏好非裔美国年轻人使用减少情况，（2）从混合方法中得出综合结论数据为基于 Twitter 的干预措施的开发和试点测试提供信息，并且 3) 进行小型随机临床试验，测试基于 Twitter 的治疗的可接受性、可行性和初步疗效对非裔美国青年直率吸烟者的干预培训经验和结果。拟议的工作将使申请人能够寻求未来独立的 NIH 资金来开发这一系列研究、调整和测试未来基于互联网的社交媒体干预措施以大麻和烟草的共同使用在非裔美国年轻人中。
