Adolescent Tobacco/Nicotine Use and the Potential Role of Contingency Management-Based Interventions.
Journal of Addiction Medicine 2024 January 11
The high prevalence of tobacco/nicotine use among youth, including e-cigarettes, is a public health problem in the United States. Early exposure leads to an increased risk of dependence and health consequences in adulthood. We reviewed the literature on current treatment approaches for nicotine/tobacco use in adolescents/young adults and highlighted underexplored areas of treatment research. There are no current Food and Drug Administration-approved medications for treatment of nicotine/tobacco use disorders in adolescents. However, in research settings and on a case-to-case basis, clinical practice medications (including nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, and varenicline) have been prescribed to this population with consideration of risk-benefit analysis when behavioral treatments are not sufficient to address dependence. Among the nonpharmacological interventions, there is evidence to support the potential for expanded use of contingency management in youth. Neural differences predisposing adolescents to substance use, along with higher attentiveness to value of options in decision making (flexible reward system) may enhance the effectiveness of reward-based approaches for treatment of substance use disorders in this population. The overall high rates of nonresponders across psychosocial and pharmacological treatments highlight the importance of considering novel strategies to improve existing interventions. We suggest that future research be done that considers unique characteristics of today's adolescents, such as high social activism and engagement with digital rewards to tailor contingency management for this age group and assess its effectiveness. Adolescents could potentially benefit from rewards administered through digital media (eg, video games, computer-based apps, and social media influencers).
