Temple University received a $522,235 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. This research initiative delivers a mixed-methods investigation examining how psychosocial stress, social group identification, and micro-social network dynamics shape tobacco use trajectories and cessation outcomes in emerging adults aged 18-26. The project employs three coordinated research aims: cross-sectional egocentric network interviews with 600 participants comparing psychosocial stress and social network features across tobacco use statuses; a 12-month longitudinal cohort study tracking 350 current smokers to evaluate how stress and network features predict cessation outcomes including quit intention, quit attempts, and bioverified abstinence; and in-depth qualitative interviews with a purposively selected subsample to contextualize quantitative findings. The research addresses a critical public health gap by identifying modifiable drivers of persistent tobacco use among a high-risk developmental population that has not benefited equally from population-level smoking declines. By systematically examining the intersection of individual psychosocial factors with immediate social environment characteristics, the research generates evidence-based targets for future intervention development designed to improve the reach and effectiveness of tobacco prevention and cessation programs in emerging adulthood.Federal Grant Award Summary
