Summary

This trial tests whether a new smartphone app called QuitQuest can help teenagers stop vaping. It compares QuitQuest to the National Cancer Institute's SmokefreeTeenQuitVaping app. The study involves teens aged 13-17 who vape regularly and want to quit. QuitQuest uses acceptance and commitment therapy to build psychological flexibility and promote behavior change, potentially offering a more effective way to help teens quit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Smartphone app-based behavioral intervention using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (QuitQuest app)
What this could lead to
If effective, this app could provide a widely accessible, evidence-based tool to help teens quit vaping, reducing nicotine addiction and related health harms.
What could go wrong
The trial is early-stage and relies on self-reported abstinence, which may not always be accurate. The app may not work better than the existing standard program, and results may not generalize to all teens.
