Trial Title: Implementing an Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) mHealth Vaping Cessation Program Into Oncology Clinics

NCT ID: NCT05967585

Vaping Cessation

Study phase: N/A

Overall status: Recruiting

Allocation: N/A

Intervention model: Single Group Assignment

Primary purpose: Other

Masking: None (Open Label)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Device
Intervention name: Behavioral: Quitting Program (TIQ)
Description: Implementation processes developed in Phase 1 to develop assessment of vaping behaviors and referral to an evidence-based program for vaping cessation (TIQ) will be tested in Phase 2. TIQ program is a mHealth, text messaging based intervention. Users who enroll in this program will receive 1 to 2 messages per day with 3 messages sent on their quit date. Messages are tailored to users' age, enrollment date or quit date, and the vape product they use. Those not ready to quit receive 4 weeks of messages focused on building skills and confidence. Users who set a quit date receive messages for up to 6 weeks preceding the date and up to 8 weeks after that include encouragement, support, skill- and efficacy- building exercises, coping strategies, etc. Keywords such as COPE, STRESS, SLIP, and MORE can be used to request on-demand support.
Arm group label: Phase I and Phase II

Summary: The purpose of this study is to understand e-cigarette use and interest in quitting by exploring e vaping behaviors among a cohort of AYA survivors (N=500). The investigators will also examine demographic, medical, and psychosocial factors associated with vaping behaviors. Primary Objectives: Phase 1. - Objective 1. Identify characteristics of adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors (AYA CCS) nicotine vaping behaviors (e.g., e-cigarette use, interest in quitting, and quit attempts) and associations with demographic (e.g., sex, race, socioeconomic status, LGBTQ+ identification), cancer-specific (e.g., diagnosis, treatment factors), and psychosocial and behavioral factors. - Objective 2. Develop strategies to improve implementation of an evidence-based, mHealth vaping cessation program within an AYA oncology clinic. - Objective 2a: Use qualitative interviews to explore patient preferences regarding program implementation (e.g., timing of assessment of vaping behavior, confidentiality, referral approach) and identify barriers to uptake. - Objective 2b: Interview and/or ask healthcare providers (e.g., practitioners, advanced practice providers, social workers practicing in AYA oncology settings) to complete open- ended questionnaires related to current processes (e.g., workflow), needs, and barriers for assessing e-cigarette use and vaping cessation referral processes. Evaluate healthcare providers' information needs, preferences, and tools needed for integrating e- cigarette assessment and cessation program referrals into current practice. Phase 2. - Objective 3. Develop and test vaping assessment and referral implementation processes (developed from Objectives 1 & 2)., and uptake of an established mHealth vaping cessation program - Objective 3a: Using qualitative and quantitative measures, we will assess the reach (% of eligible AYA CCS that enrolled in mHealth program), adoption (% providers making referrals), strategy potential (provider/patient perceptions of referral process; appropriateness of program for patients), and maintenance (barriers/facilitators to implementation) of the program.

Detailed description: Phase 1. To understand the needs and interest of the targeted population, this mixed-method project will first examine e-cigarette use and interest in quitting among a cohort of AYA survivors who range in age from 13-24 on the day of consent and are at least 3 months post treatment completion. Research participants will complete study assessments via REDCap, a HIPAA-compliant, password-protected, data collection and storage platform. AYA survivors who endorse current vaping and desire to quit (N=25) and healthcare providers engaged in AYA oncology care (N=15), will be asked to complete questionnaires related to attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge about e-cigarette use. Phase 2. Using data gathered from Phase 1, study investigators will develop implementation strategies by leveraging Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change1 to test implementation processes including systematically assessing vaping behaviors and referring patients to an evidenced based vaping cessation program. Qualitative and quantitative measures will be completed by patients who complete the vaping cessation program and healthcare providers who are engaged in assessment/referral process. These assessments will inform the reach, adoption, and implementation of the program.
