AI-Enhanced App for Adolescent E-cigarette Cessation

This study is testing an AI-enhanced smartphone app to help young people aged 14 to 20 quit e-cigarettes. The app is designed to provide personalized support and help manage cravings in real-time. Researchers want to see if the app can help adolescents quit and if getting access to the app right away makes a difference compared to getting it after three months. The main goal is to see how easy the app is to use. You can join if you are 14-20 years old and currently use nicotine-containing e-cigarettes. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 100 participants.

This study is a quasi-experimental design, comparing an immediate-intervention group to a delayed-intervention group. It plans to enroll 100 participants.
What's involved
Participants will set personal goals and track daily progress within the app, and use a real-time 'urge' feature for cravings.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Usability will be measured at a 30-Day Follow-up.

What this trial measures

  • Usability30-Day Follow-up

    The usability of the intervention will be assessed using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire, a 21-item instrument designed for interactive mobile health apps. It measures three domains: ease of use and satisfaction, system information arrangement, and usefulness. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, yielding a total score range of 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating better usability. An open-ended question will also be included at the end of the survey to gather suggestions for app improvement.
