NCT ID NCT07162155
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a school-based program that combines classroom lessons with online modules to reduce the risk of vaping and prescription drug misuse in upper elementary students (ages 7-11). About 3,000 students from 30 schools will either receive the program or continue with standard health education. Researchers will compare changes in behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge about vaping and prescription drugs over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- School-based hybrid intervention (classroom sessions and e-learning modules)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could provide an effective way to prevent vaping and prescription drug misuse in upper elementary students.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial measuring attitudes and behaviors, not actual drug use. Results may not generalize to all schools or lead to long-term prevention.
