Summary

This study asks over 3,000 teens and young adults (ages 13–20) who vape or are open to vaping to watch and rate five short anti-vaping ads. Participants answer questions about how effective the ads seem and whether the ads change their urge to vape. A smaller group takes a follow-up survey two weeks later to see if they remember the ads. The goal is to identify which ad features are most memorable and persuasive, helping public health campaigns better reach young people.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help create more effective public health ads that discourage vaping among young people.
What could go wrong
This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. Results may not translate to real-world behavior change.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 13-20 years old * Current vaper (defined as using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days) or susceptible to vaping. Participants will be considered 'susceptible to vaping' if they answer anything other than "definitely not" to 3 screening items assessing their susceptibility to vaping. An example item is, "If one of your best friends were to offer you a vape, would you use it?" (Definitely not, probably not, probably yes, definitely yes). * Live in the United States Exclusion Criteria: • Live outside of the United States
