Flavored Ready-to-Drink Alcohol Restriction in Young Adults: Behavioral and Biomarker Outcomes

This pilot randomized behavioral study evaluates the feasibility, adherence, and acceptability of an intervention to restrict flavored ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages among young adults who regularly use both alcohol and e-cigarettes. Participants will complete a 2-week baseline period followed by a 2-week intervention period. Participants will be randomized to either avoid flavored RTD alcoholic beverages or continue their usual alcohol consumption. Primary outcomes include feasibility, adherence, acceptability. Secondary outcomes include preliminary efficacy of flavored RTD restriction on alcohol consumption and e-cigarette use measured through daily electronic diaries; biomarkers of alcohol and nicotine exposure, including urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG), urinary cotinine, and blood phosphatidylethanol (PEth).

Understanding Vape Marketing Study

The purpose of this study is to develop an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) counter-marketing lesson for adolescents. The lesson will involve short videos designed to improve adolescents' cognition of e-cigarette marketing in the retail environment with the overall goal of reducing their susceptibility to use, intent to use, and actual use of e-cigarettes. Through this study, the study team will identify and refine the key messages that would make this lesson acceptable, feasible to implement, and effective in altering e-cigarette-related perceptions and potentially behaviors.
