Adolescence is a vulnerable period for smoking initiation, with disadvantaged teens particularly at risk. In addition, emotional and cognitive dysregulation is associated with an increased risk of smoking and makes it particularly challenging to benefit from standard substance use prevention interventions. The goal of the current study is to investigate the extent to which interventions designed to improve cognitive (working memory) and emotional (distress tolerance) regulatory processes enhance the effectiveness of a standard smoking prevention informational intervention. We will study adolescents (12-16 years of age) predominantly from racial/ethnic-minority and low-income households. Proximal smoking-risk outcome measures are used to allow testing of prevention models outside a full longitudinal study. We hope to generate new insights and approaches to smoking prevention among adolescents from lower socio-economic status (SES) by documenting the influence of working memory training and distress tolerance (mindfulness) interventions on cognitive/affective targets that place individuals at risk for smoking initiation and maintenance.

青春期是开始吸烟的脆弱时期，处境不利的青少年尤其处于危险之中。此外，情绪和认知调节障碍与吸烟风险增加有关，这使得他们特别难以从标准物质使用预防干预中受益。本研究的目的是调查旨在改善认知（工作记忆）和情绪（痛苦耐受力）调节过程的干预措施在多大程度上增强了标准吸烟预防信息干预的有效性。我们将研究主要来自种族/族裔少数群体和低收入家庭的青少年（12-16 岁）。使用近端吸烟风险结果测量来允许在完整的纵向研究之外测试预防模型。我们希望通过记录工作记忆训练和痛苦耐受力（正念）干预对认知/情感目标的影响，为来自社会经济地位较低的青少年提供新的见解和方法，这些目标使个人处于开始和维持吸烟的风险之中。
