Brief Summary

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

This research project will explore the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based media literacy tobacco prevention program. The project will be conducted with 9th or 10th graders in two high schools in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Detailed Description

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

Specific Aim 1: To assess students' preferences for delivery of the web-based media literacy tobacco prevention program. Investigators will conduct focus groups with students. Students will be shown clips from the program and asked to provide feedback about the preferred frequency and setting for the program.

Specific Aim 2: Investigators will conduct a pilot trial of the intervention via a cluster randomized controlled trial. The control group will receive their usual health education curriculum. The intervention group will receive their usual health education curriculum with the addition of the intervention. All students will be asked to complete a pre-test, a post-test, and two follow-up surveys (approximately 4 and 12 months post-intervention). Feasibility endpoints will include overall program completion, recruitment/attendance rates, and retention rates. Acceptability outcomes will assess student perceptions toward the intervention. A sub-aim will be to conduct focus groups and interviews with students, teachers, and administrators to assess implementation barriers and facilitators.
