Perceptions of Cigarette Smoking in Young Adults — PRISM  

Smoking, Cigarette Clinical Trial

Official title: Menthol and Non-Menthol Cigarette Smoking in Young Adults

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study focuses on menthol (n = 125) and non-menthol (n = 125) smoking young adults (YAs; defined here as ages 18 to 24) who started smoking in the past 6-months.

Clinical Trial Description

The study will occur in three phases.

In session 1 of Phase 1, participants will engage in ad libitum smoking session of one's preferred cigarette brand (menthol or non-menthol). In session 2, participants will take several puffs each of a commercially available menthol and non-menthol cigarette (i.e., Camel Crush) and complete a complete a series of pre-post smoking questionnaires, and in Session 3 participants will complete a computerized task to measure perceptions of cigarette smoking. For the computerized task, participants will be able to "win" points toward earning puffs of a cigarette and will be able to smoke puffs earned. Participants will be asked to abstain from smoking for at least 12 hours before each in-person visit.

Phase 2 participants will engage in 14 days of surveys they will complete on their cell to measure different aspects of smoking behavior. These surveys will happen twice a day at random times.

For phase 3, participants will complete an assessment of smoking behavior and related factors 6-months after the baseline assessment either in-person, in the laboratory, or via telephone or online (if in-person follow-up is not viable).

The order in which phases occur may differ was a result of COVID-19 restrictions on data collection. ;
