Summary

This study tests a virtual reality (VR) program for 8th graders to prevent them from starting to use e-cigarettes. About 1,250 students from schools in Connecticut and Massachusetts will play a VR game that teaches skills to handle emotions and resist vaping. The goal is to see if the program reduces the number of teens who try e-cigarettes and increases their knowledge about the risks.
