Exploration of Digital Interventions for Vaping Cessation: Scoping Review
Abstract
Background: Digital interventions have emerged as a promising approach to support vaping cessation, particularly among youth and young adults. Mobile apps, text messaging programs, telehealth-delivered contingency management, and web-based or social media interventions offer scalable and accessible alternatives to traditional cessation methods. However, there is considerable variation in how these interventions are designed, implemented, and evaluated, with inconsistencies in engagement strategies, theoretical frameworks, and long-term effectiveness.
Objective: This scoping review aimed to map the current landscape of digital interventions for vaping cessation and identify key strategies, effectiveness outcomes, and implementation challenges. The following questions were addressed: (1) What digital interventions have been developed or evaluated for vaping cessation? (2) What evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of these digital interventions in promoting vaping cessation and user engagement? (3) What key barriers and facilitators influence the adoption, adherence, and success of digital vaping cessation interventions? (4) What gaps remain in the literature, and what areas should future research prioritize to enhance the design and effectiveness of digital vaping cessation tools?
Methods: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and adhered to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for…
