Overview

Randomized trial evaluates e-cigarette cessation intervention in hospitalised youth, suggesting room for improvement in efficacy.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to assess the efficacy and implementation outcomes of an e-cigarette cessation intervention for hospitalised youths.
  • Conducted a pilot randomised controlled trial at a paediatric hospital with 3-month follow-up.
  • Eligible participants were hospitalised youth aged 14-21 reporting past 30-day e-cigarette use.
  • Intervention included health education, quit planning, motivational interviewing, nicotine replacement therapy, and phone booster sessions.
  • At 3 months, no significant difference was found in e-cigarette abstinence between intervention (43%) and control (42%) groups (p=0.91).
  • In intention-to-treat analysis, odds ratio of abstinence was 0.77 (95% CI 0.27 to 2.19, p=0.62) for the intervention group.
  • Mean fidelity score for the intervention was 43 out of 50, with 89% of participants satisfied.
