Brief summary (registry, in English)
The people of the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) face higher cancer incidence, especially lung/bronchia and head-and-neck cancer, and poorer cancer outcomes, compared with the U.S. nationally. This may partly be driven by the high rates of cigarette smoking and betel (areca) nut use in the USAPI. Previous data suggest that that adolescents on Guam, as young as middle school students report markedly higher e-cigarette and tobacco product use prevalence in the USAPI compared with the USAPI nationally. Guam youths are also at risk for the use of betel nuts. Yet, currently there are no tobacco product/areca nut use prevention programs that have been developed for and tested specifically USAPI adolescents. The proposed study will develop a school-based substance use prevention curriculum for e-cigarette, tobacco product, and areca nut use prevention among Guam youths. The curriculum will use lessons incorporating innovative videos and culturally grounded activities. The study's specific aims are: 1. To develop a school-based curriculum for e-cigarette, tobacco product (i.e., cigarette, smokeless tobacco), and betel nut use prevention among middle school students in Guam. 2. Test the efficacy of the school-based curriculum in a randomized controlled trial.
