“…One strategy for developing effective and culturally resonant smoking cessation programs is to adapt existing evidence-based programs for varying cultural contexts. Project EX, an empirically validated teen commercial tobacco use cessation program, has been adapted to meet the needs of culturally diverse populations and has been implemented and evaluated in Thailand, Spain, Russia, Israel, the United States, Korea, and China (Chansatitporn et al, 2016;Espada et al, 2015Espada et al, , 2017Idrisov et al, 2013;Isralowitz et al, 2016;Sussman et al 2001Sussman et al , 2004Yu et al, 2019;Zheng et al, 2004). Activities are tailored to teens (e.g., through games, role play, "talk shows", alternative medicine activities [deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, yoga], and the use of visuals) to motivate teens to attempt to quit tobacco use, cope with withdrawal and negative moods, and seek other non-tobacco using activities.…”
