A Vaping Cessation Text Message Program for Adolescent E-Cigarette Users: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product among adolescents. Despite known harms of nicotine exposure among teens, there are no empirically tested vaping cessation interventions.

Objective

To compare the effectiveness of a text message program for nicotine vaping cessation among adolescents with assessment-only control.

Design, setting, and participants

A parallel, 2-group, double-blind, individually randomized clinical trial with follow-ups at 1 and 7 months after randomization was conducted from October 1, 2021, to October 18, 2023. Participants were recruited via social media ads; the intervention was delivered via text message; and assessments were completed online or by telephone. Eligible individuals were US residents aged 13 to 17 years
