Summary

This study aims to create and test a prevention program for e-cigarette use among 6th-8th graders in rural Hawaii. The program includes classroom lessons, social media content, and a print campaign, all designed with Hawaiian culture in mind. Researchers will work with 500 students across multiple schools to see if the program reduces vaping and other substance use.
