United States830 participantsStarted 2020-02-04

Plain-language summary

This is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial to test the effects of hookah tobacco public education messages among young adults who are susceptible non-users of hookah tobacco and those who are current hookah tobacco users. The primary outcomes are hookah tobacco use behavior (initiation among baseline susceptible non-users, frequency of use and cessation among baseline current users) at 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes are curiosity to use hookah tobacco (susceptible non-users) and motivation to quit using hookah tobacco (current hookah users) measured at 6-month follow-up. These outcomes will also be measured at 2- and 4-month follow-up time points.
