Human Participants Challenges in Youth Tobacco Cessation Research: Researchers’ Perspectives
Diviak, KR, Curry, SJ, Emery, SL, and Mermelstein, RJ. (2004). ETHICS & BEHAVIOR, 14(4), 321 – 334.
The prevalence of adolescent smoking remains unacceptably high. In 2002, 17.7% of 10th graders and 26.7% of 12th graders reported having smoked in the last month; 16.9% of 12th graders smoked on a daily basis (Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 2003). Although a majority of adolescent smokers express a desire to quit smoking, quit rates among youths have been fairly low (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 1994; Zhu, Sun, Billings, Choi, & Malarcher, 1999). Without appropriate early intervention, most adolescent smokers can be expected to continue smoking throughout their adult years.
Human Participants Challenges in Youth-Focused Research: Perspectives and Practices of IRB Administrators.
Wagener, DK, Sporer, AK, Simmerling, M, Flome, JL, An, C, and Curry, SJ. (2004). ETHICS & BEHAVIOR, 14(4), 335–349.
The purpose of this research was to understand institutional review board (IRB) challenges regarding youth-focused research submissions and to present advice from administrators. Semistructured self-report questionnaires were sent via e-mail to administrators identified using published lists of universities and hospitals and Internet searches. Of 183 eligible institutions, 49 responded. One half indicated they never granted parental waivers. Among those considering waivers, decision factors include research risks, survey content, and feasibility. Smoking and substance abuse research among children was generally considered more than minimal risk. These findings are consistent with those from a study conducted by Mammel and Kaplan (1995), which investigated IRB practices concerning protocols involving adolescent participants. IRBs and investigators need to become aware of regulations' flexibility to ensure adequate participant protection. Investigators need to limit jargon and assumptins about participants' understanding of research objectives.
Tobacco Control Special Supplement: Advances and Challenges in Youth Tobacco Research
The articles in this special supplement to Tobacco Control represent a cross section of the exceptional work that has been done thus far through this initiative. This special issue is not a culmination of this process, but merely represents a snapshot of what has been learned from this research initiative to date, as well as a tantalizing glimpse into the future. Ranging from the development and testing of new measurement techniques with adolescent smokers to a new look at why youths start smoking in the first place to studies which address the exceptionally difficult problem of treating nicotine dependence in its early stages, the studies in this volume demonstrate the promise of the entire body of research which is being supported through this collaborative enterprise.
