The X-Pack: Smoking Cessation for Youth Study
Brief Project Description
Lead Investigator: Lorien Abroms, ScD
As principal investigator for "X-Pack: Smoking Cessation for Youth," funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Dr. Abroms led a study to evaluate the effects of email counseling and a self-help kit (the X-Pack) on smoking cessation in young adults. Other research projects are focused on identifying ways of increasing consumer demand among young adult smokers for smoking cessation services, on developing a smoking cessation kit for Latinos, and on developing a social support intervention to help pregnant smokers quit smoking. Dr. Abroms has also conducted research on the psychosocial predictors of smoking, on gender and family influences on sun protection, and on cancer prevention in adolescent girls.
