简要总结
This research will explore the feasibility of leveraging social network analysis to identify 6th grade opinion leaders to lead a school-based e-cigarette intervention. The project will be conducted for 6th graders in 8 schools in the Pittsburgh area.
详细描述
Specific Aim 1: Participants will be recruited from 8 Pittsburgh-area schools. The investigators will conduct a social network survey for all 6th graders in each school. Students will be asked to identify their closest peers based on several relationship dynamics: friendship, opinion leadership, academic support, and personal support.
Specific Aim 2: The investigators will adapt modules from CATCH My Breath, an evidence-based, school-implemented e-cigarette intervention supported by University of Texas and MD Anderson Cancer Center. The 8 schools will be randomized to receive the intervention led by either (1) an adult content-expert or (2) a peer-nominated opinion leader to students who nominated them or (3) a peer-nominated opinion leader to students who did not nominate them. Surveys will be administered before and after the intervention. Primary outcomes will be acceptability and feasibility measures, including (1) recruitment and (2) retention rates. Secondary outcomes will include e-cigarette use, intention-to-use e-cigarettes, and knowledge about e-cigarettes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Peer-Led Peer-Elected Intervention
The e-cigarette intervention program will be administered to students by an elected peer leader. The audience will consist of students that nominated the peer-leader.
干预措施: Peer-Led Peer-Elected Intervention (Behavioral)
Adult-Led Intervention
The e-cigarette intervention program will be administered to students by an adult educator.
干预措施: Adult-Led Intervention (Behavioral)
Peer-Led Non-Elected Intervention
The e-cigarette intervention program will be administered to students by an elected peer leader. The audience will consist of students that nominated a different peer-leader.
干预措施: Peer-Led Non-Elected Intervention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability: follow-up survey
时间窗: 5 months
Acceptability of the intervention will be assessed via the follow-up survey administrated to students following the program. 1. Do you feel the lessons were appropriate for the subject? 2. Were you confident in the person conducting the lesson? Questions will be measured in a 5 point Likert scale.
Feasibility: recruitment and retention rates
时间窗: 5 months
Feasibility of the intervention will be assessed via the recruitment and retention rates. 1. Recruitment = number of students who agree to participate / number of students in school 2. Retention = number of students who completed the program / number of students who began the program
次要结局
- Intention-to-use and knowledge about e-cigarettes (based on National Youth Tobacco Survey)(5 months)
