Given high rates and known health consequences of adolescent e-cigarette use as well as adolescents' susceptibility to nicotine addiction, school-based efforts to prevent and reduce adolescent e-cigarette use should continue to be developed, implemented, disseminated, and evaluated. This paper elaborates on best practices for developing and implementing prevention programs, including the importance of grounding programs in theories and frameworks that empower adolescents, including normative and interactive education, and having programs that are easily accessible and free of cost. Programs should also address key factors driving adolescent e-cigarette use, including discussing misperceptions, flavors, nicotine content, addiction, and the role that marketing plays in appealing to adolescents. The paper also discusses the gap areas of currently available prevention programs and highlights the need for evidence-based approaches and the importance of rigorous evaluation of programs.
鉴于青少年电子烟使用率高且已知对健康有不良影响,以及青少年易受尼古丁成瘾的影响,应继续制定、实施、推广和评估以学校为基础的预防和减少青少年电子烟使用的措施。本文详细阐述了制定和实施预防计划的最佳做法,包括将计划建立在赋予青少年权力的理论和框架基础上的重要性,包括规范和互动教育,以及确保计划易于获得且免费。计划还应解决推动青少年电子烟使用的关键因素,包括讨论误解、口味、尼古丁含量、成瘾以及营销在吸引青少年方面所起的作用。本文还讨论了当前预防计划的空白领域,并强调了需要采用基于证据的方法和对计划进行严格评估的重要性。
