What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding and addressing the complexities of adolescent tobacco use through a partnership with a large school district. It aims to engage adolescents from multiple schools in various innovative projects while ensuring informed assent and parental consent. The study will provide a centralized infrastructure to facilitate recruitment, enrollment, and retention of participants, as well as offer health resources and translate findings for broader audiences. Community engagement will play a key role in the research process, ensuring that stakeholder interests are considered throughout.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved strategies for preventing tobacco use among adolescents.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in community-engaged approaches to adolescent health, indicating potential for positive outcomes in this area.
