For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Smoking Cessation Text Messaging | 6-week smoking cessation program delivered via daily text messages. Stop My Smoking (SMS) USA is a text messaging-based smoking cessation program tailored to the experiences of young adult smokers. Content was tailored based on participant's stage of quitting (i.e. pre-quit, quit day, early-quit, late-quit, relapse). Based on the typical trajectory, content paths were created for participants based on whether or not they were smoking 2 days after quit day; and again at 7 days after quit day. The intervention group had access to Text Buddy (another person in the program that a participant was assigned to so they could text one another for support anonymously and Text Crave (immediate, on demand messages aimed at helping the participant through a craving). | None | None | 0 | 101 | 0 | 101 | View |
| Attention-Matched Control Group | Control group participants received a text-messaging program that was similar to the intervention program on the number of text messages received per day across the 6 weeks. Message content was aimed at improving one's sleep and exercise habits within the context of how it would help the participant quit smoking. Messages were not tailored based on quitting stage (e.g., Pre-Quit vs. Early Quit) nor were Text Buddy and Text Crave components available to this group. | None | None | 0 | 63 | 0 | 63 | View |
