RECRUITING

The Effect of Electronic Cigarette Use on Smoking Behaviors Among Smokers Receiving Outpatient Psychiatric Treatment

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study aims to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a project designed to investigate the impact of electronic cigarette use on combustible cigarette smoking and smoking-related factors among smokers with psychiatric disorders, a high-risk population, who are not yet ready to quit smoking. All participants will be instructed to switch completely from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes for the next 8 weeks. They will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
