Developing an E-Cigarette Cessation Intervention for Hispanic/Latina(o) Youth in Florida: The BReATHE Study
Sponsor: Florida International University
Summary
Investigators will create and implement an e-cigarette intervention for Hispanic/Latino (H/L) high school youth. Focus groups with the target population (i.e., H/L high school students) and meetings with a community advisory board (CAB) will inform this intervention. The intervention will be tested with 120 H/L high school e-cigarette users to assess feasibility and promise for reducing use.

E-cigarette Cessation Manual
E-cigarette cessation manual development. Empirically supported treatment content. We anticipate grounding the intervention in an empirically supported psychosocial smoking cessation program (i.e., Cognitive Behavior Therapy; CBT), which has been found to be effective with both adults and adolescents to quit cigarette smoking (Vinci, 2020). We anticipate including sessions that teach CBT skills to help adolescents quit e-cigarette use. These CBT skills and format will be adapted from prior manualized CBT smoking cessation interventions for adolescent smoking cessation and manualized CBT e-cigarette intervention for adolescents and young adults that are currently ongoing (e.g., Kong et al., 2017; Kong et al., 2021; Bold et al., 2022). The structure and content of the e-cigarette cessation manual will be further informed by themes and sub-themes from the focus group data analysis relating to both surface and deep structure cultural modifications.
