Evaluation of REVIVE: Rural Vaping Free Intervention for Young Adults via Text Messaging - Project Summary & Abstract There is a critical public health need for electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use cessation in young adults (YAs) in rural areas. Our preliminary work confirmed strong needs of targeted ENDS cessation given unique cultural and environmental aspects of ENDS use among YAs in rural areas. We developed the culturally relevant text-messaging ENDS cessation intervention for YAs in rural areas (Rural Vaping Free Intervention for Young Adults via Text Messaging [REVIVE]) based on our findings. We pilot-tested REVIVE and found preliminary feasibility of the intervention. The specific aims for this proposed study are to (Aim 1) Test the efficacy of the REVIVE intervention compared to Standard Care Control (SCC) on the change in cessation from baseline to 1, 3, and 6 months; (Aim 2) Evaluate the impacts of sociodemographic factors on cessation, examining both direct effects and indirect pathways mediated by psychosocial components; and (Aim 3) Determine the associations between intervention process components and cessation at 1, 3, and 6 months. The proposed project will pilot test the randomized controlled trial (RCT). We will recruit YAs (N=500) in rural counties using our established recruitment strategies throughout 12 Midwest states. We will randomize (1:1) participants to either the intervention or control arm and measure efficacy outcomes, psychosocial process components, and intervention process components at baseline, 1-, 3-, and 6-month post-intervention. This proposed study is innovative because it is the first targeted ENDS cessation intervention for YAs in rural areas that is informed by this population. Further, this project will have a significant impact on public health, tobacco cessation science, and tobacco control policy by providing evidence for ENDS cessation among YAs in rural areas. This intervention can serve as a model for addressing other addictions or modifying health-risk behaviors in similar settings, and could be disseminated nationally by health departments and tobacco control organizations.
