Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The following are some key research questions:
1. How did participants use the Guide? (Eg: daily; read once; 'a la carte')
2. How did using the Guide increase fidelity to tolerance break (starting, continuing, completing a break)?
3. Did using the Guide yield any benefits beyond tolerance break fidelity? (Eg: insight into patterns of use)

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants were young adults aged 18-29 recruited through posters and tabling events at the University of Vermont (UVM), a post on a UVM webpage, emails on listservs of seven other universities, and a post on a subreddit focusing on responsible cannabis use. The posters and online announcements directed participants to the online baseline survey, which contained consent information before allowing participants to complete.
After completing the baseline survey, participants received a link to an online version of the T-Break Guide through email. After 30 days, participants received another email prompting them to complete the follow-up survey. The UVM Institutional Review Board reviewed and approved all study procedures (STUDY00001489).

T-Break Guide
The T-Break Guide was designed to help people complete a 21-day break from cannabis. For each day of the break, the Guide offers inspiration in the form of a quote, reflections based on likely experiences occurring at that point during the break, advice on ways to overcome challenges, alternative activities in which to engage, and encouragement.
* The first week focuses on physical symptoms of cannabis withdrawal (e.g., sleep, appetite).
* The second week focuses on the emotional experience (e.g., anxiety, boredom).
* The third week focuses on behavioral aspects (e.g., examining patterns, connections).
The T-Break Guide follows the Motivational Interviewing principles of affirmation and autonomy.
