Vaping/ Peter A. Wyman
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
Rates of adolescent vaping are increasing rapidly. Current high school student use
of electronic vaping products (EVPs) rose from 1.5% in 2011 to 20.8% in 2018 - an
increase from 220,000 to 3.05 million adolescent users. Effective, school-based interventions
are urgently needed to protect adolescents from initiating or continuing use of electronic
vaping products (EVPs). This study leverages a state-supported prevention initiative
to test the effectiveness of a promising intervention that trains 8th-9th grade student
peer leaders to deliver school-wide vaping prevention campaigns with ongoing adult
mentoring. If study hypotheses are supported, the study will provide the first evidence
of a school-based preventive intervention that reduces adolescent vaping behaviors,
as well as insight into how peer communications can be harnessed to prevent vaping.
