Vaping study for teenagers by teenagers

Researchers from Western University, Canada and the University of Nottingham, UK, are leading a new study into teenage vaping in Canada, where high schoolers will be appointed as co-researchers to the project, Scienmag reported.

The study will take a revolutionary ‘by-youth-for-youth’ approach to understanding teenagers’ motivations for, and experiences with vaping, by involving teens in the project, which will culminate in developing the concept for a youth-informed education campaign, the report said.
The researchers hope to understand how factors such as gender, race, socio-economic circumstances and place – as well as physical distancing as a result of COVID-19 – influence teenagers’ engagement with vaping. According to the report, experts will gain unique insights into the roles of school, home, online, and retail environments in influencing vape use in teens, before, during the pandemic, and as we emerge from it. Based on these insights, the researchers will work with teen collaborators to develop a creative communications campaign, such as a short film or comic strip, to deliver the study’s findings to teenagers.
“Prevalence of vape use among Canadian youth has doubled in the past couple years, with nearly 1 in 12 secondary school students now vaping daily or almost daily. Creative solutions are urgently needed to produce the kind of evidence required to help combat what is rapidly becoming a public health crisis in Canada and many other nations,” Dr Gilliland, Professor at Western University, was quoted as saying.
