Filter by:This project will assess the ways in which e-cigarette product diversity impacts the user experience to inform potential regulations by identifying product characteristics that may: (1) put young adults at risk for tobacco product use; and (2) facilitate adult smokers switching to e-cigarettes. There are three primary objectives to the study: (1) Determine which dimensions of e-cigarette product diversity differentially affect product appeal in the overall population of tobacco product users as well as affect product appeal across young adult e-cigarette users and middle-age/older adult smokers; (2) Determine which dimensions of e-cigarette product diversity differentially affect product appeal in the overall population of tobacco product users as well as affect abuse liability in young adult e-cigarette users and the ability to resist smoking in adult smokers; (3) Determine the affect of product characteristics on e-cigarette nicotine delivery profile. For this substudy, adult smokers (N=200) will attend two laboratory session in which they will self-administer e-cigarette products varied according to within-subject e-cigarette factors (e.g., flavor, nicotine formulation) and smoke their own cigarettes.
The purpose of this study is to realize the first evaluation of the psychometric characteristics of the Chinese version of the the Penn State University Electronic Cigarette Dependence Index Scale.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how limiting the nicotine content in regular cigarettes affects choices for regular cigarette and e-cigarette products. Eligible participants will be of legal age to purchase tobacco products and regularly use both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes.
This placebo-controlled Phase 2 study is being conducted at sites within the United States to evaluate the safety profile of 3 mg cytisinicline administered TID for 12 weeks.
This research project will explore the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based media literacy tobacco prevention program. The project will be conducted with 9th graders in two schools in the Pittsburgh area.
The Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department (CoSTED) is an National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) funded randomised controlled trial (RCT). The research question is "in people attending the Emergency Department who smoke, does a brief intervention (including the provision of an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) and referral to stop smoking services) increase smoking cessation in comparison with usual care and is it cost effective?" The trial includes an internal pilot, health economic evaluation and process evaluation. The primary outcome is smoking cessation, self-reported as continuous smoking abstinence, biochemically validated by carbon monoxide monitoring with cut off of ≥8ppm. The sample size is 972 (486 in intervention and control) across 6 sites.
While conventional cigarette use continues to decline among youth and young adults, e-cigarette (EC) use is on the rise. The use of ECs during young adulthood, particularly 18 years of age, is especially alarming because it is not only a critical period in development but also a time when tobacco use is established. Additionally, the tobacco industry targets individuals of this age with the hope that they will one day progress to using combustible cigarettes. Advertising may be one of the reasons leading young people to use ECs, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now has the authority to regulate EC advertisement features. The goal of the study is to determine which EC ad features most strongly influence young adults' attitudes, susceptibility, and intentions to use ECs. Fifteen ads from the most popular EC brands that employ a brand, product descriptions, and modeling features were selected. Young adults who are susceptible to EC use will come into the lab and view these ads. During exposure, they will be assessed for real-time visual attention using eye-tracking, orienting responses using heart rate, and arousal using skin conductance as well as pre- and post-ad self-report measures of attitudes, susceptibility, and behavioral intentions. These factors will help determine the most high impact features, which will be associated with the greatest visual attention, orienting responses, and arousal levels and changes in attitudes. Findings from this study will provide public health officials important and urgently needed information as to what advertising features are contributing to the sharp rise in the use of ECs among young adults.
This study assesses the acute effects of a standardized 20-minute vaping episode compared to a non-vaping control condition on ad libitum food intake during a 30-minute buffet meal, occurring approximately 45 minutes after the vaping episode
To assess smoking, vaping, and alcohol consumption behaviors via online surveys in the population. Further, the objective is to administer additional surveys to assess which methods (e.g., pen-and-paper records, a smartphone app) for monitoring smoking, vaping, alcohol intake, and food intake are preferred by the study population.
The use of the Invite Only VR, with the aim to prevent the initiation of e-cigarette use in teens by increasing their knowledge, decreasing their intentions to use e-cigarettes, influencing their harm perceptions and attitudes associated with e-cigarettes, and increasing self-efficacy associated with refusing peers involving e-cigarettes.
