This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco will provide $692,872 to develop and evaluate a scalable social media-based vaping cessation program for adolescents.

The project, titled "Social Media Support Groups for Adolescent Vaping Cessation," will adapt the existing "Quit the Hit" program into a toolkit (QTHT) that can be implemented by youth-serving organizations. The QTHT will be evaluated through a randomized controlled trial to assess its effectiveness in improving vaping cessation among participants. The project will also document the implementation process, including treatment fidelity, organizational capacity, and facilitators/barriers. The study involves collaboration with Stanford University and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center as sub-grantees.
