Nicotine and Tobacco Message Framing to Change Smoking Behavior in Diverse Groups of Young Adult Smokers

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This clinical trial evaluates the effect of message framing on smoking behaviors among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) young adults who use nicotine and/or tobacco. Tobacco regulation has contributed to a steady decline in tobacco products designed to be smoked (combustible), but there has been an increase in the use of new tobacco products, such as electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The use of more than one tobacco product (polytobacco) is high in LGBTQ+ populations. Both LGBTQ+ people and people who engage in polytobacco use are less likely to view tobacco as harmful, which may reinforce tobacco use. Message framing includes culturally targeted messages to communicate the absolute risks (AR) and relative risks (RR) of polytobacco use. Using message framing may increase quit rates or change smoking behaviors in LGBTQ+ young adults who use nicotine and/or tobacco products.
