Youth Vaping Awareness
Days Program
Our Youth Vaping Awareness Days program began in the fall of 2021 as a way to deliver vaping education to Junior High schools across Prince Edward Island. Data from our PEI 2020-21 Youth and Young Adult Vaping Survey Project found that the average age of vaping onset on PEI was 15.74 years old. Therefore, grade 7 classes on PEI were chosen as the target audience in order to focus on vaping prevention. Since 2021, we've reached over 3000 Island students at over 50 schools across PEI. Youth Vaping Awareness Days is now starting to be facilitated in Nova Scotia Intermediate schools.
​
This program is delivered in PEI in collaboration with the UPEI Faculty of Nursing, providing the opportunity for nursing students to facilitate this program and complete their community placements.
​
Our program goals include:
-
To increase the knowledge of the evidence-informed health and social harms associated with vaping among Island youth aged 11-15.
-
To increase knowledge of the evidence-informed health and social harms associated with vaping among Island Educators.
-
To increase students' ability to make informed decisions about using vaping products.
