To promote tobacco cessation for this group and encourage non-users’ engagement in tobacco control efforts, a community-based organization developed a “Street Team” brief outreach intervention that enlisted youth and young adults to encourage their peers to stop tobacco use through a brief intervention. Street Team members provided education, a Quit Kit, and referrals to cessation resources at a total of 27 community events over a four-year period. Tobacco users (n = 279) completed assessments of tobacco use, quit intention, and quit self-efficacy at baseline. Self-reports of cessation outcomes including past week abstinence were assessed 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-intervention. Perceptions of the intervention were gathered from Street Team members (n = 28) and intervention participants post-intervention. T-tests and χ2-tests were used to compare those who completed at least one follow-up assessment to those lost to follow-up. Time effects were analyzed using fixed effect models. Missing = using analyses indicate 16.1, 18.6, and 12.5% 7-day quit rate at 1-, 3-, and 6-months follow-up. Feedback from intervention participants indicate the intervention was acceptable and that discussions with Street Team members and provision of quit kits motivated tobacco users to consider quitting. All Street Team members responded positively to their participation in the intervention. This Street Team approach for youth and young adults is promising as an effective approach to the promotion of tobacco cessation among users and engagement and empowerment in tobacco control efforts among non-users. 001416641 536__ $$oThis study was funded by County of Sacramento Department of Health and Human Services, Tobacco Litigation Settlement Funds - Tobacco Cessation, Education and Prevention Services; California Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program (#22BT-0057H). 001416641 6531_ $$aresearch topic: social sciences: psychology 001416641 6531_ $$asmoking cessation 001416641 6531_ $$apeer health advisors 001416641 6531_ $$amotivational enhancement 001416641 6531_ $$ayouth 001416641 6531_ $$ayoung adults 001416641 6531_ $$atobacco cessation interventions 001416641 690__ $$aLiberal Arts 001416641 690__ $$aPsychology 001416641 7001_ $$aSaw, Anne$$uDePaul University 001416641 7001_ $$aSteltenpohl, Crystal N.$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001416641 7001_ $$aBankston-Lee, Kimberly$$uBreathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails 001416641 7001_ $$aTong, Elisa K.$$uUniversity of California Davis 001416641 773__ $$tJournal of Community Health 001416641 8564_ $$yArticle$$979acf0fb-d970-4297-b4cf-b7a32f5cdeb1$$s726211$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1416641/files/A%20Community-Based%20Street%20Team%20Tobacco%20Cessation%20Intervention%20by%20and%20for%20Youth%20and%20Young%20Adults.pdf 001416641 904__ $$a2020-01-15T16:15:48Z$$baccessioned 001416641 904__ $$a2020-01-15T16:15:48Z$$bavailable 001416641 904__ $$a2020-01-15T16:15:48Z$$bdateFOA 001416641 904__ $$a2017-10-25$$bdateFirstOnline 001416641 905__ $$a/collection_2/11/dublin_core.xml 001416641 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1416641$$pGLOBAL_SET 001416641 980__ $$aMANUSCRIPT
