Article Abstract
Objective: To assess text messaging interactivity with a vaping cessation intervention among Latino young adults.
Methods: As part of a single-arm pilot study, 40 Latino young adults (ages 18-25) received , a vaping cessation text messaging intervention. , available in English and Spanish, was developed in partnership with a Community Advisory Board of Latino young adults and consisted of 212 text messages delivered throughout a 3-month period. Participants' text messaging interactions with were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed.
Results: Quantitative: During the 3-month period, participants sent a total of 713 text messages (mean = 17.8, = 27.6, range = 0-127). Text messaging interactivity varied among participants: Two participants (5%) did not interact with the program, 22 (55%) had a low interaction with the program (1-9 text messages), 12 (30%) had a medium interaction (10-49 text messages), 3 (7.5%) had a high interaction (50-99 text messages), and 1 (2.5%) had a very high interaction (≥100 text messages). Qualitative: Several themes were identified: (1) Reasons to quit, (2) strategies to quit, (3) benefits of quitting, (4) self-efficacy, (5) barriers to quitting, (6) extra-treatment social support, and (7) intra-treatment social support.
Conclusion: The intervention generated different levels of text messaging interactivity among Latino young adults. Participants' text messaging interactivity provides important insights into their experiences using such intervention. These insights offer practical operational strategies to address vaping cessation among Latino young adults.

Background: Remote services (in which the patient and staff member are not physically colocated) and digital services (in which a patient encounter is digitally mediated in some way) were introduced extensively when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. We undertook a longitudinal qualitative study of the introduction, embedding, evolution and abandonment of remote and digital innovations in United Kingdom general practice. This synoptic paper summarises study design, methods, key findings, outputs and impacts to date.

Trauma-informed communication has shown promise in healthcare settings for supporting individuals affected by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), yet its application in public health messaging remains underexplored. Given the strong link between ACEs and intimate partner violence victimization (IPVV), this study designed and tested a trauma-informed, text-based message aimed at promoting trauma understanding and positive behavioral intentions among women experiencing IPVV with self-reported ACEs. The message incorporated two core trauma-informed components-psychoeducation and empowerment-and was evaluated against a conventional IPVV message in a randomized controlled trial ( = 289).

Background: Online text-based counseling services are becoming increasingly popular. However, their text-based nature and anonymity pose challenges in tracking and understanding shifts in help-seekers' emotional experience within a session. These characteristics make it difficult for service providers to tailor interventions to individual needs, potentially diminishing service effectiveness and user satisfaction.

Background: Emerging adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) need targeted support to equip them with the knowledge and motivation required for self-management, particularly as they transition from pediatric to adult care. While multicomponent digital health interventions have shown promise in addressing their multifaceted needs, traditional effectiveness studies provide little, if any, insights into which components work effectively, how they function, and for whom.
Objective: This study aims to explore the implementation of a multicomponent, text message-based digital intervention (Keeping in Touch; KiT) to provide early insights into which components may shape participants' transition experiences and how.
