Attentional Bias Modification Training for E-cigarette Users

Description

Aims are to (1) evaluate attentional bias to e-cigarette cues between the intervention and control groups at post-intervention as compared to the pre-intervention; and (2) test the feasibility and efficacy of the intervention at post-intervention. To accomplish these aims, a theory-driven parallel, controlled 2-arm randomized clinical trial will be conducted with young adult e-cigarette users (approximately N = 50). Outcomes are attentional bias to e-cigarette cues and abstinence outcomes including nicotine dependence, and arousal/urges for e-cigarette use.

Conditions

E-cigarette Use, Tobacco Use Cessation
