Filter by: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.
This study assess the ways in which e-cigarette product characteristics, such as flavors and nicotine salts, impact user experience to inform potential regulations.

Background: Many people who smoke use vaping products to help them quit. Levels of toxicants in urine samples are substantially lower in those who exclusively vape compared to those who smoke, suggesting that vaping poses only a fraction of the harms as smoking. However, vaping is still not risk free, with some studies finding higher levels of some toxicants among vapers compared to those who do not smoke or vape. People with mental health conditions have different smoking patterns compared with the wider general population. It is not known if people with mental health conditions have different vaping pattens, therefore researchers do not know if they are exposed to different levels of vaping related toxicants. Also, smoking exposes people to high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can reduce the effectiveness of some psychotropic medication and management of symptoms. Vaping exposes people to lower levels of PAHs than smoking, however it is unknown if the levels of PAHs from vaping affect the metabolization of psychotropic medicines. The goal of this observational study is to learn about levels of tobacco toxicants among people with mental health conditions who vape, smoke, dual use or do neither. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: What are the levels of biomarkers of toxicant exposure among those who use community mental health services who exclusively vape, exclusively smoke, dual use or do neither, and how do they change over time? What is the difference in clozapine excretion levels and metabolism among those who use community mental health services who exclusively vape, exclusively smoke or dual use or do neither? Participants will self report smoking and vaping characteristics and provide blood and urine samples at baseline and six months later. Urine will be analysed for tobacco toxicants. Blood will be analysed for levels of clozapine and other prescribed anti psychotic medication. Researchers will compare levels of toxicants between people who vape, smoke, dual use, or do neither to see if these is a difference.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an evidence-based intervention to assist adolescents and young adults with current vaping to quit vaping and smoking.
Prospective observational study evaluating the incidence, and qualifying the types, of perioperative pulmonary complications in patients that vape.
Almost one in ten young adults report current e-cigarette use, putting them at risk of developing nicotine addiction and long-term health effects of exposure to inhaled toxicants. Despite the need for effective treatments to help these young users quit, very few treatments targeting any type of tobacco use among young adults have been evaluated, particularly for young adults who vape and have unique treatment needs. To address these needs, this trial will evaluate a digital program for young adult e-cigarette users at all stages of readiness to quit called ACT on Vaping.
Smoking Prevention Program is a pilot exploratory study with a standardized curriculum based on the Tobacco Prevention Toolkit from Stanford University and translated into Polish by the members of Students Scientific Association of Oncology at Wroclaw Medical University. The program will assess the effectiveness of a school-based smoking prevention curricula keeping children as never smokers and test the feasibility of engaging medical students and teachers in implementing and evaluating a validated program on smoking prevention within the Polish School System. The research protocols, methods and data collection instruments of a standardized classroom based valid tobacco prevention program from Stanford University will be used for the study. The smoking prevention program is centred on drug resistance, personal self-management and increasing social skills. The program increases knowledge and uses coaching and practice to provide students with the skills to resist social pressures around cigarette use. The secondary outcome of this study is to determine the change in attitudes by Polish Medical Student regarding Cancer Prevention Research. During Smoking Prevention Program workshops, the 5-Session Curriculum for primary schools will be translated, applied and evaluated for polish students. This community-based pilot will engage medical students, the local school district and the local health authority. The Educational program meets the requirements set by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction. Following parental consent, the program will be implemented with all 7th and 8th grade students (children age 12-15 years) from the Elementary School in Tyniec Mały. This project is supported by the Head of Lower Silesian Oncology Center, the Head of Department of Oncology of Wroclaw Medical University, the Health and Social Affairs Department of City of Wroclaw and under the patronage of the Lower Silesia Governor's Office, the Polish Society of Oncology, the Polish Society of Public Health, the Lower Silesian Department of Polish Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cancer Education (EACE). Smoking Prevention Program is funded by the READS Grant Program from the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE).
To demonstrate the reduction of Biomarkers of Exposure (BoExp) to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHC) in smokers switching from cigarette (CIG) to P4M3, an Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), compared to continuing cigarette smoking for 5 days.
The purpose of this study is to determine how vaping affects blood vessels, in particular if early damage occurs in the lung vessels.
