The Great Lakes PTTC offers this training for prevention practitioners and behavioral health professionals in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI. This training is offered in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.
The good news is that during 2019-2020, among middle and high school students, current use of any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco decreased. Two-thirds of young people report that they have either cut down or quit during lockdown, while others found new ways to obtain e-cigarettes online. While these declines offer some relief, the number of young people using e-cigarettes remain high. This webinar will provide an update on vaping and evidence-based prevention practices. We will also share discuss promising approaches that we have emerged in the last year from surveys and research.
