Pilot Study of the YES-CAN! Program to Prevent Youth Nicotine Vaping

This study is testing a program called YES-CAN! (Youth Engaged Strategies to Change Adolescent Norms) to see if it can help prevent young people from vaping nicotine. The program involves students creating videos to share health messages and encourage their peers to avoid vaping. We want to see if this approach is practical for a larger study in the future. You might be able to join if you are in middle school (grades 6-8) or high school (grades 9-12), or an adult involved in the school system. To be eligible, you must be able to read and write in English or Spanish. The study will measure how many students have ever vaped at the beginning, at 9 months, and at 12 months to see if the program is successful. The current status of the study is unclear.

Study design
This is a pilot study that will implement the YES-CAN! program in two school communities. It aims to enroll 1166 participants.
What's involved
If you are a student, you would participate in a credit-earning class where you learn about vaping and video production, and create videos. Data collection will involve online surveys at the start of the study, immediately after the program, and one year later.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after the start of the study.
