ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how using social media affects e-cigarette use among young adults. Researchers want to find out if cutting back on social media can help young adults reduce their vaping habits and improve their mental health. Participants will complete surveys and share screenshots of their social media use to help the researchers understand these effects better.
To join the study, you need to be between 18 and 25 years old, use social media daily, own a smartphone, and have vaped at least a few times in the past month. If you meet these criteria and live in the United States, you might be eligible to participate. Throughout the trial, you'll be compared to others who continue using social media as usual, so the researchers can see if less time online really makes a difference in e-cigarette use.
