Social Media Support Groups for Adolescent Vaping Cessation
This study is testing a social media program called the "Quit the Hit Toolkit" to help young people stop vaping. The program uses Instagram with up to three posts per day for 30 days. This study wants to see if community coaches can be trained to lead these online vaping cessation groups for 5 weeks. To join a group, you need to be between 13 and 21 years old, use social media most days, and have vaped at least once a week in the past month. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
