Information Interventions to Reduce Vaping in a Student Population

"The first half of the PMT present video will include narration by Science Insider producer, Benji Jones, including dialogue regarding the risks associated with vaping by Chief Pediatric Pulmonology at the NYU Winthrop Hospital, Dr. Melodi Pirzada, and information on nicotine by the Director of Pediatric Pulmonology at NYU's Langone Hassenfeld Children's Hospital, Dr. Mikhail Kazachkov. The second half of the PMT present video will include personal experiences and narratives by students at the University of Utah with information regarding our current knowledge of vaping health effects through research by Dr. Sean Maddock and Dr. Sean Callahan from the University of Utah to highlight the susceptibility of vaping for a population of young adults in university."

The first half of the PMT absent video will be presented by the Alliance for Aging Research, including an immersive video design, explaining the impact that nutrition may have as the participants age, reviewed by Dr. Steven Austad and Senior Nutritionist Johanna Dwyer. The second half of the PMT absent video will be presented by TED-Ed with narration by Addison Anderson, including a similar immersive video design, explaining how the food the participants eat may affect our brain and overall health. The nutrition and lifestyle information design will be administered as a control because it provides informative lifestyle choices regarding nutrition that can help promote the participants overall health without having an underlying link to vaping behaviour and its subsequent effect on the status of health.
