Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to develop tobacco modules to be included in an innovative mobile-health (mHealth) intervention (hereon referred to as S4E) and to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the updated version of S4E in an urban youth-centered community health clinic in Southeast Michigan.


Description:

Tobacco use remains a significant public health concern in the US, and youth are disproportionately affected. Among high school youth , 38% report lifetime cigarette use, and 9.3% report having smoked a whole cigarette before the age of 13. In Southeast Michigan, African-American youth are at disproportionate risk of engaging in tobacco use and co-occuring substance use and other risk behaviors. To address these significant public health concerns, we developed Storytelling 4 Empowerment (S4E), a targeted and tailored mobile-health (mHealth) application (app) intervention to be delivered in health clinic settings. The proposed research aims to develop culturally congruent and developmentally appropriate modules focused on tobacco use prevention and risk reduction to be included as part of the S4E mHealth app. The proposed research will also determine the preliminary efficacy of S4E in reducing tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual risk behaviors, and improving HIV/STI testing in a sample (n=50) of youth ages 13-21 living in Southeast Michigan.

Intervention

Behavioral:
S4E
The face-to-face version of S4E (i.e., Storytelling for Empowerment) is registered as a best-practice with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Registry of Evidence-Based Practices and Programs.The S4E mHealth app was developed in collaboration with youth in Southeast Michigan. Content produced for the application is based on scientific prevention principles in conjunction with youth input. To date, we have developed modules focused on youth alcohol and drug use, HIV and STIs. We now propose to develop modules focused on tobacco prevention and cessation. S4E aims to increase self-efficacy and communication about health risk behaviors. The face-to-face version of S4E has been shown to prevent and reduce substance use, including cigarette use, as well as increase (1) substance use prevention knowledge, (2) communication about health risk behaviors, and (3) perception of harm and self-efficacy in refusing licit and illicit substances.
Attention-Matched Control Group
Participants in the Attention-Matched Control group will receive a PDF version of the tobacco module material, an enhancement to the usual care they would receive should they not join the study. Participants in this group will also receive usual care. The Clinic's usual care includes standard risk behaviors intake form, pamphlets highlighting resources on sexual, physical, and mental health, and other healthcare services.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Change in Clinician-Youth Communication for Clinicians from baseline to immediately post-intervention and 30 days post-intervention Completed by the clinician, clinician-youth communication will be assessed post-baseline using items adapted from the Matched Pair Instrument (19 items; MPI). MPI assesses process and content of communication, including verbal and action-related behaviors performed by clinicians. Responses range from "1=strongly disagree," to "5=strongly agree," on a five-point Likert scale. A sample statement for clinicians and youths is, "I encouraged the patient to express his or her thoughts concerning drug use behaviors." baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 30 days-post baseline

MPI assesses process and content of communication, including verbal and action-related behaviors performed by clinicians. Responses range from "1=strongly disagree," to "5=strongly agree," on a five-point Likert scale. A sample statement for youths is, "I was encouraged to express my thoughts concerning drug use behaviors." baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 30 days-post baseline
Other Change in Youth Self-Efficacy as measured by the Condom Self-Efficacy Scale from baseline to immediately post-intervention and 30 days post-intervention Youth's self-efficacy will be assessed using the Condom Self-Efficacy Scale (19 items, a =.85). Responses range from "1=not sure at all," to "4=definitely sure," on a four-point Likert scale. A sample question for the youth is, "How sure are you that you can refuse if a friend offers you marijuana at a party and you do not want it?" baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 30 days-post baseline
Other Change in Youth Self-Efficacy as measured by Drug Use Resistance Self-Efficacy Scale from baseline to immediately post-intervention and 30 days post-intervention Youth's self-efficacy will be assessed using the Drug Use Resistance Self-Efficacy (24 items, a =.98). Responses range from "1=not sure at all," to "4=definitely sure," on a four-point Likert scale. A sample question for the youth is, "How sure are you that you can refuse if a friend offers you marijuana at a party and you do not want it?" baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 30 days-post baseline
Primary Change in Tobacco Use from baseline to 30 days Tobacco use will be measured at baseline and 30-days post intervention, to assess change in usage. baseline and 30 days post-baseline
Secondary Change in Drug Use from baseline to 30 days Licit and illicit drug use behaviors will be assessed using items from the Monitoring the Future study. Youth will be asked whether or not they have used licit or illicit drugs in their lifetime and the past 30 days.

Secondary Change in contraception (non-condom) use from baseline to 30 days Adolescent contraception (non-condom) use will be measured using items extracted from Jemmott, Jemmott, and Fong's Sexual Behavior instrument. This gated instrument will assess the adolescent's past contraceptive use (non-condom) use. baseline and 30 days post-baseline
