Impact of Vaping Prevention Advertisements

NCT04836455 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether exposure to vaping prevention advertisements (ads) reduce susceptibility to vaping among adolescents. Previous studies have been informative, but they have tended to be one-time experimental studies that do not replicate the repeated exposures to ads that people have in the real world. This study addresses this issue by repeatedly exposing participants to vaping prevention ads over time. Participants will be adolescents aged 13-17 who currently vape or who are susceptible to vaping. Participants will be randomly assigned to ad stimuli. They will be assigned to one of two The Real Cost trial arms-health harms or addiction-or to a control trial arm (probability of assignment is 1/3 for all trial arms). Participants in the study will take 4 online surveys over a 3-week period, once per week (At week 0, 1, 2, and 3). All participants will view randomized ad stimuli based on their trial arm and answer surveys items at each session.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04836455

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04836455 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,565 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, which has 374 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Vaping appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which The FDA's The REal Cost vaping prevention ads - Health harms theme is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04836455 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
