Summary

The main objective of the SCOTT project is to reduce tobacco experimentation of teenagers through an online intervention based on social networking and empowerment of users.

Specific objectives of this emerging project are : 1. To develop or identify an online community dedicated to teenagers where the investigators will develop anti-smoking skills and norms. It will be based on social cognitive theory and will combine multiple functionalities based on the current practices and preferences of adolescents on internet and mobile; ensuring user safety, regulatory and ethical issues ; 2. To analyse the adoption, acceptance and the usability of SCOTT among users in a limited scale 3.To develop SCOTT process and impact assessment methodology.

Research hypothesis Providing access to prevention in an online community will: 1) Strengthen anti-smoking skills 2) Enhance the empowerment of users 3) Allow the implementation of health interventions 4) Improve indicators of tobacco consumption in young people Methods The overall methodology of the project relies on a multidisciplinary approach with a consortium of French experts in public health (health promotion and epidemiology), education science, information and communication technologies, medical informatics, adolescent medicine, adolescent addictology, social sciences, ethics and law. The project will be led in 3 parts: 1) Development of the intervention - using the Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share (IDEAS) framework. Using qualitative methods (individual interview, focus groups), multidisciplinary team brainstorming, works meeting and quantitative assessment of SCOTT quality; the investigators will (a) empathize with target users, (b) specify target behavior, (c) ground in behavioral theory, (d) ideate implementation strategies, (e) prototype potential products, (f) gather user feedback, (g) build a minimum viable product, 2) Pilot study : (h) SCOTT will be deploying on a small scale to assess its usability; 3) Development of the large-scale evaluation protocol - following the recommendations of the Medical Research Council concerning the evaluation of complex interventions. The investigators will (i) develop, based on the results of the pilot test, the SCOTT process evaluation methodology, (j) develop the SCOTT impact / effectiveness evaluation methodology.
