Botvin Health Connections™: Addressing the E-cigarette and Vaping Epidemic

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and vaping have become a wide-spread health crisis among youth. According to the latest Monitoring the Future Survey, teens reported a dramatic increase in using vaping devices in just a single year. Among high school seniors, 37.3% reported using a vaping device in the past year, compared to 27.8% in 2017.

It is imperative that we maintain our focus on implementing evidence-based programs that demonstrate the strongest reductions in youth smoking. The Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) program, proven to reduce youth smoking by up to 80%, addresses the risk and protective factors associated with a variety of substances. In response to this crisis, we designed a resource to strategically enhance specific lessons in LST focusing on this health crisis.
