“…(2012) found that GMIT was a successful intervention for mitigating substance and alcohol use in a more heterogeneous sample of adolescents. Latinx/e adolescents are among the most susceptible to smoking use, with high rates of first‐time initiation during adolescence (Sabado‐Liwag et al., 2022). Latinx/e adults also suffer from greater rates of smoking‐related illnesses, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.…”

“…Further, 13.7% of Latinx/e youth reported using e‐cigarettes within 30 days of completing the survey, compared to 15.5% of White and 6.2% of Black youth (Gentzke, 2020). Others have also found that, among all racial/ethnic groups, Latinx/e youth have the highest rates of susceptibility to smoking tobacco products during adolescence, including ATPs (Sabado‐Liwag et al., 2022). These data suggest that tobacco use among Latinx/e youth remains a public health concern.…”

“…adolescents, alternative tobacco products, Latinx/e, motivational interviewing, substance use Although professional counselors provide wellness services that empower diverse populations (please see American Counseling Association, 2014 code of ethics), Latinx/e adolescents and their families are often underserved by professional counselors. This is worrisome because Latinx/e youth are among the most susceptible group of youth to smoking, with high rates of first-time smoking initiation during adolescence (Sabado-Liwag et al, 2022). Latinx/e middle schoolers report higher rates of alternative tobacco product (ATP) use, including e-cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and snuff, than their non-Latinx/e White peers (Arrazola et al, 2015;Kann et al, 2016).…”

We conducted a pilot feasibility study to examine the efficacy of a culturally adapted Group Motivational Interviewing for Teens–alternative tobacco product (GMIT‐ATP) intervention among Latinx/e youth and whether, including caregivers, improved outcomes (GMIT‐ATP+P). Adolescents (ages 10–16) and their caregivers were randomized to two groups after completing baseline assessments: (1) GMIT‐ATP (N = 23) and (2) GMIT‐ATP+P (N = 32). Youth in both conditions attended three youth‐only sessions, and parents in the GMIT‐ATP+P condition attended three parent‐only sessions. Parents and youth completed measures before randomization, immediately after the intervention, and 3‐month post‐intervention. No significant differences were found when comparing conditions. However, adolescents’ reports of knowledge of the health effects of tobacco and ATP products increased from pre‐ to post‐intervention and remained stable at the 3‐month follow‐up. Culturally enhancing preventive interventions have positive effects within the Latinx/e community, and there is potential for long‐term sustainability.
