Development of a Mobile Health Intervention for Electronic Cigarette Use Among Young Adults

Sponsor: University of Chicago

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) use remains prevalent among young adults, and many have high interest in quitting, yet research on effective intervention is lacking. A mobile health (mHealth) intervention that translates effective smoking cessation materials and pharmacotherapy may be a promising avenue for intervention. The initial phase of the proposed study uses a pilot study to evaluate a novel mHealth intervention for young adult ENDS and dual product (ENDS and combustible cigarette) users.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

EQUIP

The intervention is delivered directly to participants' mobile phones using the Insight® platform, which allows for the implementation of assessments and interventions. Insight has been used in prior mHealth studies and allows for the delivery of tailored content based on parameters, such as intervention stage. The intervention has two stages: 1) Motivational enhancement (weeks 1-2) and 2) Skills and information (weeks 3-6). The first stage of messages will utilize personalized feedback and motivational interviewing prompts, while the second stage will provide health information on ENDS and skills, such as deep breathing. Content is tailored to motivation level (low/medium or high) and dual use status.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Care

Those in the standard advice group will be given offered a sample of NRT, instruction on its use, and will be encouraged to use in conjunction with standard web-based resources on ENDS and cessation over the course of a ten minute walk-through with study staff.
