Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if teens living with congenital heart disease like and will use Heart2Heart and if it affects how they think and feel about e-cigarettes. Heart2Heart is a website that provides health information for teens with congenital heart disease. The main questions this trial aims to answer are:

  • Will teens enroll in the trial and complete the trial activities?
  • Do teens use and like Heart2Heart?
  • Does using Heart2Heart affect how teens think and feel about e-cigarettes?

Researchers will compare the Heart2Heart group to a group that does not use Heart2Heart to see if it affects teens' thoughts and feelings about e-cigarettes.

Participants will:

  • Complete online surveys
  • If assigned, explore the Heart2Heart website
  • If invited, share their opinions about Heart2Heart in an online discussion

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of participants completing trial activities (Feasibility)

    The following aspects of feasibility will be evaluated: recruitment rate (number enrolled/number invited), retention rate (number completing trial activities/number randomized to a group), and assessment completion rate (percent of participants completing the trial surveys).

    Time frame: Feasibility will be evaluated throughout the recruitment, enrollment, and data collection process, lasting a period of three months.

  2. Percent of participants with favorable satisfaction and usability ratings (Acceptability)

    To evaluate acceptability, the percentage of teens with favorable (the highest two ratings on the scale) usability and satisfaction ratings will be calculated.

    Time frame: Acceptability will be measured at the post-intervention survey, two weeks after participants are assigned to a study group.

Other outcomes

  1. Risk Behavior Diagnostics Scale for E-cigarettes (E-cigarette Efficacy)

    Six statements assessing self-efficacy (e.g., "I am confident I can avoid using vaping devices") and response efficacy (e.g., "The health effects of using vaping devices are serious"). Items are rated on a 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) scale.

    Time frame: Two weeks after participants are assigned to a study group

  2. CATCH My Breath E-cigarette Attitude Survey (Perceived Positive Outcomes of E-cigarettes)

    Four items measuring perceived positive outcomes of vaping (e.g., "Using e-cigarettes would help me to deal with problems or stress") rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 3 (strongly agree).

    Time frame: Two weeks after participants are assigned to a study group.

  3. CATCH My Breath E-cigarette Knowledge Survey (E-cigarette Knowledge)

    Six questions or statements related to knowledge and beliefs of e-cigarettes (e.g., "E-cigarette vapor contains mostly water"). Respondents select "yes," "no," or "I don't know", or select the correct response from a list of choices.

    Time frame: Two weeks after participants are assigned to a study group.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2028, 23 months after the start.

Of 205 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Heart Defects, Congenital, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 53. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 223 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 57.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 19, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
