Developing a media literacy-based e-cigarette education program via medical record systems.

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
introductionThis is a prospective, interventional pilot study that seeks to evaluate the impact of MediaSense, a media-literacy-based vaping prevention program, in adolescents including an oversample of those with asthma.
methodsDuring July and December 2022, participants in Nebraska were recruited via electronic health record (EHR)-based messaging, and MediaSense was self-administrated by interactive e-learning with REDCap surveys before and after the intervention. Regression analysis evaluated changes in vaping media literacy, vaping expectancy, and harm perception pre- and post-intervention. Factor analysis was conducted on 22 items on usability, to determine which latent factors were most related to interactive e-learning modules.
resultsAdolescents aged 12-17 years participated in the MediaSense intervention (n=67; 59.7% with asthma). The pre- and post-intervention surveys showed a 148% increase in vaping media literacy (ranging 0-6; 2.9 vs 4.5, p<0.0001). Vaping expectancy (ranging1-5) decreased from 3.6 to 1.2 (p<0.0001), and the perception of vaping as harmful rose from 40.3% to 86.0% (p<0.0001). Participants rated the intervention highly on usability, technical assistance, design, content clarity, navigation, flow, multimedia, interactivity, and learning outcomes. Two distinct factors were identified in the factor analysis: motivating and engaging content (Factor 1) and user-friendly module design (Factor 2). Participants with higher usability ratings of the e-modules (Factor 1: B=0.6; 95% CI: 0.3-0.9, p=0.0004; Factor 2: B=0.7; 95% CI: 0.4-1.0, p=0.0001), and those with asthma (vs no asthma: B=0.5; 95% CI: 0.1-0.9, p=0.01) had significantly higher vaping refusal and media literacy.
conclusionsThe MediaSense program demonstrated acceptability and feasibility in recruiting and preventing adolescent vaping through EHR and digital interventions. Media literacy helps adolescents to critically evaluate vaping-related marketing messages, resist persuasive marketing, and make informed decisions.
