Attentional Bias Modification Training for E-cigarette Users

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 29 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Aims are to (1) evaluate attentional bias to e-cigarette cues between the intervention and control groups at post-intervention as compared to the pre-intervention; and (2) test the feasibility and efficacy of the intervention at post-intervention. To accomplish these aims, a theory-driven parallel, controlled 2-arm randomized clinical trial will be conducted with young adult e-cigarette users (approximately N = 50). Outcomes are attentional bias to e-cigarette cues and abstinence outcomes including nicotine dependence, and arousal/urges for e-cigarette use.

Conditions

• E-cigarette Use
• Tobacco Use Cessation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Computerized attentional bias modification training	In intervention is designed to train participants to disengage attention from potent e-cigarette cues and is based on the well-established attention retraining paradigm for other psychopathologies.
BEHAVIORAL	Placebo attention control training	This control training is very similar to the intervention's overall task structure and stimuli. The only difference is that the this control program is designed to exert no systematic manipulation on the attention deployment pattern between the two stimulus categories, thereby yielding no significant impact on the level of attentional bas toward ENDS-related cues
