Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The use of electronic cigarettes (vaping) has increased among adolescents over the past decade. Vaping raises many health concerns. People who vape inhale toxic chemicals. Vaping is also linked with mental health issues, such as depression and suicide risk. In one survey, 85% of young adults reported that they used both vaping and tobacco products; the primary reason they cited for using these products was stress.
Objective:
This natural history study will survey adolescents and their parents about their attitudes toward vaping.
Eligibility:
People aged 13 to 18, including those who vape; those who once vaped; and those who have never vaped. Parents of people aged 13 to 18 who are known or suspected of vaping are also needed.
Design:
Participants will take a survey. They will use their own smartphone, computer, or tablet to answer questions. The survey will take about 20 minutes. Their answers will be anonymous.
Teenage participants will answer questions on different topics:
Vaping habits, such as when and how they vape.
Drug use, including nicotine, cannabis, and alcohol.
Mood issues, such as depression, anxiety, and stress.
Social influences on vaping, including perceived attitudes of parents and peers.
Other leisure habits, including online gaming and use of social media.
Parents will answer similar questions.
A phone number and links will be given to participants who need help for suicidal thoughts. Other links will be given to those who want help with parenting resources or aids to quit vaping.
Participants may be invited to take part in an 8-week course on mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Participants who finish the survey will receive 10 dollars.
