About Project Adapt
Project ADAPT is a new, groundbreaking research project that centers the lived experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC) adults in the United States. Our goal is to understand the different types of discrimination that African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian American, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people face in their daily lives. We aim to understand how experiencing discrimination may influence decisions to use cigarettes, vapes, marijuana or alcohol.
What do we plan to do
We are inviting African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian American, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults to answer daily survey questions on a phone app for a week-long period. Participants can receive up to $400! All information will be kept safe and confidential.
Community Advisory Board (CAB)
The project will also be informed by an advisory board comprised of leaders from community-based organizations that serve communities of color across Southern California. Community advisory board members will share experiences to improve the quality of our research and help disseminate study findings to the community.
