Text Message Quit Vaping Intervention for Young Adults
- Conditions
- Tobacco Cessation
- Registration Number
- NCT04251273
- Lead Sponsor
- Truth Initiative
- Brief Summary
This research study, conducted by Truth Initiative, will help us learn how text messaging can help young adults between 18 and 24 years of age quit vaping.
- Detailed Description
The Quit Vaping Study (QVS)'s primary aim is to conduct a fully powered comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a quit vaping text message program in promoting abstinence from e-cigarettes among young users aged 18-24. This study is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial conducted among young users aged 18-24 recruited through online channels. Participants will be randomized to a quit vaping text message intervention or to an assessment-only control condition and followed for 7 months to roughly correspond to 6-months post-treatment. The secondary aim is to examine potential mediators of program effectiveness, including treatment engagement and changes in self-efficacy and perceived social support for quitting.
