NCT ID NCT07038317
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether sending young adults (ages 18-24) text messages about e-cigarettes, tailored to whether they vape or not, can influence their vaping behavior. Over 6 months, 120 participants will receive either these tailored messages or general health messages (like sun safety). Researchers will track self-reported vaping and use saliva tests to confirm nicotine use. The goal is to see if the right message source (expert vs. peer) and style (one-sided vs. two-sided) can help vapers quit or prevent non-vapers from starting.
