Study Overview
Brief Summary
This research study, conducted by Truth Initiative, will help us learn how text messaging can help adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age quit vaping.
Detailed Description
The Teen Quit Vaping Study (QVS Teen) is a comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a quit vaping text message program in promoting abstinence from e-cigarettes among young users aged 13-17. This study is a 3-arm randomized controlled trial conducted among young users aged 13-17 recruited through online channels. Participants will be randomized to a quit vaping text message intervention, an assessment-only control condition, or a waitlist control condition. The primary aim is to examine 30-day point prevalence abstinence at 7-months post enrollment (roughly corresponds to 6-months post-treatment).
