MYTH Youth Collaborative

STUDY BASICS

Are you the parent of a teen 13-17 years old? Your child may be eligible to participate in a research study to elicit youth knowledge and perceptions about youth-oriented social media platforms and emerging nicotine and tobacco products. Members of the Youth Collaborative will be scientific partners in the study who will assist in designing both a survey and informational materials.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of this research study is to recruit young people to be a part of the MYTH (Misinformation-identifying Youth in Tobacco and Health) Youth Collaborative. The MYTH Youth Collaborative will meet with study team members to share their knowledge about topics we are studying. Topics for the sessions may include describing how one uses social media, creating a list of popular nicotine and tobacco terms and products, identifying social media misinformation about these products, co-developing a survey about misinformation and nicotine and tobacco products, generating messages to address misinformation, and pilot testing the messages.
