Hosted by the Center for Advancement and Dissemination of Intervention Optimization (CADIO)
In this webinar, Dr. Catherine Kimber from London South Bank University will present her work on the methodology and findings of a trial in which the aims were to determine which of five EC-orientated intervention components or combination thereof (delivered online), would be more effective at promoting smoking cessation.
Typically, RCTs include several component approaches (provision of medication/product, support/advice on use, monitoring, counselling, etc.); disentangling the effects of each these individual intervention components or interactions is challenging. Understanding the contribution of specific intervention components before packaging optimized components into an RCT should maximize therapeutic efficacy using robust empirical design. While this approach has been utilized in mainstream smoking cessation, it has not been used to identify promising intervention components in studies using e-cigarettes (EC; vapes) for smoking cessation.
This webinar will outline the methodology and findings of a trial in which the aims were to determine which of five EC-orientated intervention components or combination thereof (delivered online), would be more effective at promoting smoking cessation. A balanced five-factor (2x2x2x2x2=32 intervention combinations) randomized factorial design guided by the Multiphase Optimization STrategy (MOST) was utilized in this trial. At the end of the presentation, time will be set aside for questions and answers.
