Kick-Nic! Youth Quit Vaping App
Vaping Cessation Among Youth: Evaluating the Kick-Nic! App
Yale University
306 participants
Jan 16, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
High school students who want to quit vaping will be randomized to receive the Kick-Nic! app or a control NCI website to determine the efficacy of the app for vaping cessation. Participants will be screened for eligibility, then go through an 8 week treatment period where they will be given access to use the Kick-Nic! app or referred to the NCI Quit Vaping website. This will be followed by 1, 2, 3, and 6 month follow up visits. Qualitative interviews with participants and school staff will also be conducted to obtain feedback on the app and best ways to implement/disseminate the app. Abstinence rates will be assessed biweekly during treatment including at end of treatment (EOT), and then at 1, 2, 3 and 6 month follow ups (FU). Biochemical verification (salivary cotinine \< 30 ng.ml) of self-reports of abstinence will be conducted at EOT and 6-month FU.
