Appendix B: Relationships among Research, Implementation and Demand
Appendix C: Draft Recommendations for Research Workshops
As an early step to both build capacity and define research priorities more thoroughly, four consensus workshops are recommended:
- Measuring and Treating Youth Addiction: The priorities of defining, measuring, and treating youth tobacco addiction already are well recognized. More than one major planning initiative is addressing these priorities. The Collaborative sees the need to develop measures of behavior change and patterns of tobacco use, as well as of broader (societal) influences. This workshop would address approaches to scanning existing measurement data, strategies for conducting longitudinal research, and the development of a measurement “tool kit” for cessation research program development and evaluation.
- Best Practice Review and Program Evaluation: The Canadian Tobacco Research Initiative has funded a project to define criteria by which best practice programs and policies can be identified. An equally important issue is to define when programs should not be recommended. The CDC has also produced a report outlining best practices for comprehensive tobacco control. This workshop would build on the strategies and findings of the CTRI and CDC to initiate the development of a set of decision-making tools for providers, gatekeepers, policy-makers, and other stakeholders. This workshop also would address the questions of when research findings or pilot-tested interventions are ready to move into practice.
- Foundations for Youth Cessation/Treatment Interventions: The research objectives identify factors to be addressed by any effective intervention treatment, including youth needs and program preferences, methods for recruitment and retention, and measurement of individual differences and outcomes. It was clear at the 1997 CDC Workshop that there are major knowledge gaps in this regard. There is a need to “get back to basics” in order to understand what is going on with kids and where tobacco fits in their lives. The proposed workshop should both assess current knowledge and gaps with respect to those “basics,” and outline planning models to guide new intervention development. Our models need to balance and integrate interventions from the individual through the social, cultural, and systems levels.
- Future Directors in Cessation Research: This workshop would address a number of issues that are crucial, but many researchers feel less immediately pressing, to reaching long-term objectives. These issues include: anticipating, rather than reacting to, new trends, such as generational swings, industry movements, and changing socio-economic factors; attracting and training new researchers and practitioners in youth cessation; establishing structures and mechanisms for funding and conducting translational research; incorporating interdisciplinary approaches into basic and applied research; and involving youth in research and program development.
