Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vaping Intervention

The vaping intervention will be implemented on Instagram. Participants in the treatment condition will be assigned to groups on Instagram, where they will receive up to 3 posts per day for 30 days. Groups are facilitated by a trained Guide, working with the Principal Investigator, Co-Investigators and a Pediatrician on demand if additional expertise or clinical advice is needed. Participants will be educated about signs of nicotine dependence and if they express interest in pharmacotherapy will be encouraged to access this through their personal healthcare providers. The Instagram groups will provide educational and social support, troubleshooting and advice about nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or other forms of treatment.
