Dissemination of CATCH My Breath, a middle school E-Cigarette prevention program.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesIn 2016, the US Surgeon General issued a Call to Action to address adolescent e-cigarette use and school-based prevention interventions are an effective component of comprehensive tobacco control. This study describes the development and dissemination of CATCH My Breath, an e-cigarette prevention program for middle and high school students.
methodsStarting in 2014, a university and nonprofit collaboration designed, formatively evaluated, pilot tested, and disseminated the CATCH My Breath Program (CMB). The team used Social Cognitive Theory to develop the program and Diffusion of Innovations Theory to disseminate the program. Dissemination strategies were applied beginning in 2016. This paper describes the application of both theories and the resulting reach of CMB.
resultsSince dissemination began, CMB has been rapidly adopted, following the typical diffusion normal curve. As of June 2020, approximately 4,000 schools in the United States have adopted the program, 70,000 teachers have taught the program, and 1,400,000 students have been exposed to program materials.
conclusionThe application of Social Cognitive Theory and Diffusion of Innovation Theory resulted in effective prevention results and rapid, widespread adoption of the CMB. This level of adoption and implementation represents 25% of the school marketplace. CMB should be considered as the school component of the recommended combustible and e-cigarette prevention and control toolkit, alongside mass media, marketing restrictions, retail access, taxation, flavor ban, and FDA premarket approval. Other public health interventions seeking rapid adoption should consider applying principles of Diffusion of Innovation as a guide for development and dissemination.
