Pilot Study on Communication to Help Quit Cigarettes and E-cigarettes

This study is testing different ads designed to help people quit using both regular cigarettes and e-cigarettes. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes daily or some days, and can read and answer questions in English. The researchers want to see if these ads make you more interested in quitting. This is a small, early-stage study with 90 participants, and the current status of recruitment is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional pilot study with 90 participants. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups, each receiving different ads over 5 weeks.
What's involved
You would view ads daily and complete brief daily surveys over 5 weeks. You would also complete weekly surveys and two post-surveys.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your intention to quit will be measured at the start, weekly for two weeks, and then at 3 and 5 weeks after the study begins.
