This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) will fund a randomized controlled trial to examine the efficacy of a smartphone app called "Kick-Nic!" for e-cigarette cessation among 306 high school adolescents. The app provides an engaging, multimedia-rich, and interactive cognitive-behavioral therapy platform to help adolescents develop coping skills for e-cigarette-specific triggers and support their cessation efforts. The trial will also evaluate the impact of incorporating text message reminders and weekly virtual check-ins to enhance engagement. The total award amount is $1,003,164.00, with a project period from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2029. The project will be carried out by Yale University, a private research university in New Haven, Connecticut.
