A website designed to steer teens with heart defects away from vaping
NCT ID NCT07764510
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This trial tests a website called Heart2Heart, created for teens living with congenital heart disease. The site provides health information and interactive tools to help them stay healthy. Researchers want to see if teens will use and enjoy the site, and whether it changes their thoughts and feelings about e-cigarettes. About 90 teens aged 12 to 18 with congenital heart disease will take part, with some using the website and others not, so the two groups can be compared.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Heart2Heart, a website with health information and interactive features for teens with congenital heart disease
- What this could lead to
- If teens find Heart2Heart useful and engaging, it could become a widely used tool to help young people with congenital heart disease make healthier choices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, so it may not show a clear effect on teens' attitudes toward e-cigarettes. Results may not apply beyond this specific group.
