Detailed description

The Teen Quit Vaping Study (QVS Teen) is a comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a quit vaping text message program in promoting abstinence from e-cigarettes among young users aged 13-17. This study is a 3-arm randomized controlled trial conducted among young users aged 13-17 recruited through online channels. Participants will be randomized to a quit vaping text message intervention, an assessment-only control condition, or a waitlist control condition. The primary aim is to examine 30-day point prevalence abstinence at 7-months post enrollment (roughly corresponds to 6-months post-treatment).
