Summary

This trial will adapt and evaluate a universal group-based Youth Brief Tobacco Intervention (Y-BTI) plus mobile phone automated text messaging (ATM) for 9th grade students in hopes of reducing tobacco use.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for 9th grade students enrolled in selected physical education or health classes. It aims to help them quit smoking, including traditional tobacco use and vaping. There are no specific exclusion criteria, so all students in these classes can participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a Youth Brief Tobacco Intervention (Y-BTI) combined with automated text messaging (ATM) against Y-BTI alone, ATM alone, and no treatment. The goal is to see which method helps students stop using tobacco most effectively after six months.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve behavioral support through discussions and text messages rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety while trying to quit.
