Measure
Assessment Only (ASSESS)
Participants in this condition will not receive any intervention materials. They will participate solely in the repeated assessments. Including this comparison condition controls for the effect of repeated assessments and allows for the most meaningful evaluation of the efficacy effect size as well as the cost-effectiveness of the eTARGET intervention. This condition will also be the primary source of data for the secondary surveillance aim regarding naturalistic changes in smoking and e-cigarette use over time.
Generic Self-Help (GENERIC)
This will allow us to evaluate our novel self-help intervention for e-cigarette users (our If you Vape booklets) against a matched non-targeted intervention that has demonstrated efficacy for cigarette smokers in general. Such a comparison controls for the possibility that e-cigarette users are sufficiently primed to quit smoking and that even a generic, non-targeted intervention would be effective. This possibility will be directly tested by comparing this condition against both the ASSESS and eTARGET conditions in terms of clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. GENERIC: The initial Stop Smoking for Good brochure, 10 Stop Smoking for Good booklets and 9 supportive My Story pamphlets delivered over 18 months, as used in our previous cessation study.
Targeted Self-Help (eTARGET)
Participants in this condition will receive the intervention created as the product of Study I. eTARGET: The product of Study I is expected to include the initial If You Vape brochure, a series of 10 If You Vape: Guide to Quitting Smoking booklets, distributed over 18 months, and 9 supportive My Story pamphlets, delivered in the months between booklets.
