Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this research study is to learn how middle and high school students react to an interactive website called ASPIRE ( A Smoking Prevention Interactive Experience) and health information online and what their preferences are when using ASPIRE.

Researchers hope to use the results of this study to design more effective online health programs to provide middle and high school students with up-to-date information about tobacco use, meditation, and general health and well-being.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants complete up to 2 separate parts.

Part 1:

For Part 1, participants complete a survey about their mental and physical health and their opinions concerning health information and the internet. The survey takes about 15-20 minutes to complete.

Part 2:

If the results of the survey show eligibility, participants complete Part 2 of the study. For Part 2 participants are randomly assigned (as in a roll of dice) to 1 of 2 study groups. Participants have a 1 in 3 chance of being assigned to receive standard care. Participants have a 2 in 3 chance of being assigned to use the ASPIRE website. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group.

If participant assigned to receive standard care, he or she is shown a website that has the same information presented in ASPIRE, but in text form.

Participants in both groups sit in front of a computer and go onto a website. Both the ASPIRE website and the text-based website have been designed for middle and high school students. The ASPIRE website has videos, activities, and health information facts about the effects of smoking, the benefits of meditation, and healthy living. The text-based website only has health information facts about smoking, the benefits of meditation, and healthy living. Participants complete 3 to 4 sessions using either the ASPIRE website or the text-based website throughout their first semester. Each session lasts about 40 minutes.

The use of the websites will be videotaped.

Follow-Up Surveys:

Participants complete a follow-up survey about their opinions concerning health information and the internet immediately after they complete their last session on the website. The follow-up surveys take about 15 minutes to complete.

Length of Study:

Active participation on this study is over after participants complete the follow-up survey. If participant does not continue onto Part 2 of the study, their active participation is over after they complete Part 1 of the study.

Other Information:

Participants take part in this study at their school during their after school program.

During the use of the website, each study participant is individually videotaped and audio recorded. The videotapes and audio recordings are used to help the research staff analyze each participant's use of the websites. The video tapes and audio recordings are stored on a password-protected encrypted hard drive that is stored in a locked office at MD Anderson. Only the study researcher and authorized members of the research staff are allowed to use the videotapes and audio recordings (for research purposes).
