EQUIP: E-Cigarette Quitting Project

EQUIP is a fully remote study that adapts evidence-based tobacco cessation content and tailors it to young adults who use ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery system) only, or those who use ENDS alongside other forms of tobacco. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention targeting e-cigarette use on young adults’ tobacco/nicotine use.

Using health communication and telehealth to enhance tobacco treatment

In collaboration with the Clinical Addictions Research Lab, this study aims to improve smoking cessation outcomes for people from lower-income and minoritized backgrounds who are trying to quit smoking. Many of these individuals face barriers to accessing treatment, such as reliable internet or insurance coverage for stop smoking medications. The study will build on the University of Chicago Medicine’s established tobacco treatment program in order to enhance the impact of the hospital’s smoking cessation treatment for those who need it most.

A community-engaged approach to tobacco treatment implementation

In collaboration with Respiratory Health Association, this study uses a deliberate and multi-methods approach to understand barriers to tobacco treatment implementation within community health sites. The goal is to design a flexible, feasible, and evidence-based treatment approach that can be used across settings and modalities to directly address implementation barriers.
