Text Messaging Trial for Vaping Health Messages
This study is testing if different text messages about vaping can help young adults change their vaping habits. Researchers will send either educational messages about e-cigarettes, tailored to whether you vape or not, or messages about sun safety. The goal is to see if these tailored messages can help daily vapers quit or prevent those who are thinking about vaping from starting. You can join if you are 18-24 years old, speak English, use e-cigarettes but no other tobacco products, and have a mobile phone. The study will measure self-reported vaping and use biochemical tests (like urine or saliva tests) to confirm vaping at different times over six months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 120 young adults. Participants will be divided into groups to receive different types of text messages.
- What's involved

- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will be followed for six months, with assessments at one, three, and six months after the study begins.
