Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information

Project: SAMHSA Tobacco Prevention, Cessation, and Behavioral Health
Message Testing--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is conducting message testing to inform the development and
implementation of a tobacco use prevention and cessation campaign aimed
at youth with substance use and/or mental health conditions.
The purpose of the project is to inform messaging efforts, through
focus groups with youth and in-depth interviews with health care
providers, to improve tobacco use prevention and cessation efforts in
populations with mental health and substance use concerns, particularly
youth and vulnerable populations. The focus groups and interviews are
an integral part of the process to test messages and, ultimately,
develop effective campaign materials and efficient implementation
plans.
SAMHSA will screen parents (because focus group participants are
[[Page 58326]]
under the age of consent) and youth, conduct focus groups with youth
with substance use and/or mental health conditions, and interview
health care professionals who treat youth with these conditions. The
screen will be administered by telephone to parents first and, as
eligible, to youth and will take 10 minutes to complete for parents and
for youth. Questions will include a mix of open-ended and closed-ended
responses and are intended to gather information on previous diagnosis
and symptomology of mental health conditions and availability to
participate in the focus group. The focus groups with youth will be
conducted in person and will take up to 90 minutes. Questions are
primarily open-ended and intended to gather information on the reasons
youth with substance use and/or mental health conditions use tobacco,
the barriers and facilitators to tobacco use prevention and cessation,
the appeal of various tobacco use prevention and cessation messages,
and the best dissemination strategies and communication channels for a
future campaign aimed at this specialized group. The interviews with
health care professionals who treat youth with mental health and/or
substance use conditions will be conducted in person, as feasible, or
by telephone and will take up to 45 minutes. Questions are primarily
open-ended and intended to gather information to better understand how
various health care professionals screen for and address tobacco use in
youth receiving care in their practice, identify messages and materials
aimed at health care professionals to address tobacco use prevention
and cessation in youth with substance use and/or mental health
conditions, determine the most efficient communication strategies and
channels to disseminate this information. All data collections are
voluntary.
