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.
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.
