• 3 other identifiers: 2005-0914NCI-2011-028262R01CA081934-05A1
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 1,289

Brief Summary

Primary, secondary, and tertiary specific aims are to answer the following questions about interactive, Internet-based tobacco control intervention directed towards 10th-graders:

1. 1.Smoking Prevention (primary): Does the intervention result in a lower incidence of smoking initiation compared to standard care?
2. 2.Smoking Cessation (primary): Does the intervention result in higher rates of smoking cessation compared to standard care?
3. 3.Reduction of Spit Tobacco Use (secondary): Does the intervention have an impact on spit tobacco use compared to standard care?
4. 4.Stages of Change (tertiary): Does the intervention have an impact on progression through the stages of smoking and spit tobacco acquisition and cessation compared to standard care?
5. 5.Mediating Variables (tertiary): How are mediating variables associated with tobacco-use onset and cessation?
6. 6.Testing Predictors: Investigate established and recently elucidated predictors of susceptibility to smoking at baseline and 12-month follow-up.
7. 7.Develop/Validate Spit Tobacco Measures: Investigate predictors of susceptibility of spit tobacco use at baseline and 12-month follow-up
8. 8.Testing Measures Across Race/Ethnicity: Explore predictors of susceptibility to smoking at baseline and 12-month follow-up to determine whether predictors differ among White, African-American, and Hispanic students.
