Vaping is a growing public health concern, especially for younger populations. National survey evidence indicates that vaping has increased exponentially in the past 5-10 years among adolescents and young adults.
This webinar brings together a range of speakers to discuss the marketing of vapes on social media, key strategies to reduce vaping among young people, and recent findings from projects aiming to prevent young people from vaping.
Professor Jonine Jancey will discuss how vape content is presented on social media, how this content has been managed and how it will (hopefully) be managed in the future, in the Australian context. Lorena Chapman will provide an overview of Cancer Council WA’s youth vaping prevention and support program, Clear the Air, including an overview of current campaign activities and community-based initiatives that the team is working on to support young people to break free from vaping. Jazlyn East will provide insight into NDRI's Our Futures Vaping Trial, an evidence-based educational initiative designed to address the rising concern of adolescent vaping in Australia.
