part of the process to test messages and, 

ultimately, develop effective campaign 

materials and efficient implementation 

plans. 

SAMHSA will screen parents 

(because focus group participants are 

under the age of consent) and youth, 

conduct focus groups with youth with 

substance use and/or mental health 

conditions, and interview health care 

professionals who treat youth with these 

conditions. The screen will be 

administered by telephone to parents 

first and, as eligible, to youth and will 

take 10 minutes to complete for parents 

and for youth. Questions will include a 

mix of open-ended and closed-ended 

responses and are intended to gather 

information on previous diagnosis and 

symptomology of mental health 

conditions and availability to 

participate in the focus group. The focus 

groups with youth will be conducted in 

person and will take up to 90 minutes. 

Questions are primarily open-ended and 

intended to gather information on the 

reasons youth with substance use and/ 

or mental health conditions use tobacco, 

the barriers and facilitators to tobacco 

use prevention and cessation, the appeal 

of various tobacco use prevention and 

cessation messages, and the best 

dissemination strategies and 

communication channels for a future 

campaign aimed at this specialized 

group. The interviews with health care 

professionals who treat youth with 

mental health and/or substance use 

conditions will be conducted in person, 

as feasible, or by telephone and will 

take up to 45 minutes. Questions are 

primarily open-ended and intended to 

gather information to better understand 

how various health care professionals 

screen for and address tobacco use in 

youth receiving care in their practice, 

identify messages and materials aimed 

at health care professionals to address 

tobacco use prevention and cessation in 

youth with substance use and/or mental 

health conditions, determine the most 

efficient communication strategies and 

channels to disseminate this 

information. All data collections are 

voluntary.
