ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a smartphone app called ACT on Vaping, designed to help young adults quit using e-cigarettes. The app uses a type of therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support users in recognizing what triggers their vaping habits and teaches them how to manage these triggers effectively. It aims to provide a convenient and modern way for young adults, who often prefer digital solutions, to find help in quitting nicotine and tobacco products.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 30 years old, have been using e-cigarettes regularly for at least the past month, and have a smartphone that meets certain requirements. You’ll need to be comfortable using apps and have access to the internet or mobile data. Participants will download the ACT on Vaping app and engage with its sessions to help them quit. This trial is not currently recruiting but will soon be looking for individuals who meet these criteria to take part in this important research.
