简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
This is Quitting
Participants will be enrolled to receive messages from This is Quitting.
Users receive one age-appropriate message per day tailored to their enrollment date or quit date, which can be set and reset via text message. Those not ready to quit receive 4 weeks of messages focused on building skills and confidence. Users who set a quit date receive messages for a week preceding it and 8 weeks afterward that include encouragement and support, skill- and self-efficacy building exercises, coping strategies, and information about the risks of vaping, benefits of quitting, and cutting down to quit. Keywords COPE, STRESS, SLIP, and MORE provide on-demand support.

Assessment only Control
After an initial enrollment message, participants will be contacted periodically to assess e-cigarette use. At the end of the intervention period, they will receive information on how to sign up for This is Quitting if they are interested in the program
