“…Given the popularity of vaping among youth and growing concerns about nicotine addiction, such programs are clearly needed. Other data indicate that few teachers in California reported the use of education, alternative-to-suspension, or cessation programs for students caught vaping in class [19].…”

There is a lack of evidence for the impact of school-based e-cigarette interventions among current e-cigarette users. This natural experimental evaluation study evaluated the one-year impact of various school-based e-cigarette prevention/cessation programs among a sample of current youth e-cigarette users. The COMPASS study sample included n = 3586 current e-cigarette users from n = 90 schools with data collected between 2017 and 2019. Student e-cigarette use patterns were categorized as “escalated”, “maintained”, and “reduced” based on the change in past 30-day e-cigarette use between baseline and follow-up. Intervention schools added e-cigarette use “prevention”, “cessation”, or “protection” programs, while control schools did not make any changes. Logistic regression models identified how each category of added programs was associated with e-cigarette use patterns. About one quarter of schools added an e-cigarette use prevention/cessation program over one year. Student e-cigarette use patterns between control and intervention groups differed in proportion ranging from a decrease of 3.35% to an increase of 5.80%. Regression models did not identify any significant differences in the odds of escalating or reducing e-cigarette use in intervention relative to control schools. While many schools implemented new e-cigarette programs over one year, none of the interventions led to significant changes in e-cigarette escalation or reduction among current youth e-cigarette users. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the impact of e-cigarette interventions among current e-cigarette users.

Objectives Youth vaping is a concern in Canada. While school-level policies influence student behaviours, few studies have investigated the association between school vaping policies and student vaping. This study reviewed and scored the comprehensiveness of school vaping policies and investigated the association between school vaping policy scores and student vaping. Methods Online policy documents from n = 39 schools in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia, Canada, participating in the 2021–2022 wave of the COMPASS study were collected, reviewed, and scored for comprehensiveness (/39) using the School Tobacco Policy Index (STPI) rating form. The mean and range of scores for each domain of the STPI were calculated. School policy scores were linked to student vaping data from the COMPASS study. Multilevel logistic regression analyses identified the association between school vaping policy score and student lifetime and current (past 30-day) vaping. Results The mean total policy score was 10.2/39 (range 0‒24), and 28% of schools scored 0/39. The majority of school policies did not identify enforcement approaches or available preventive or cessation resources. Increasing STPI score was not associated with the odds of student lifetime or current vaping in multilevel logistic regression analyses. Conclusion The STPI quickly identified components of school vaping policies that were missing. The overall score of most school vaping policies in our sample was low and most school vaping policies lacked many important components. Future studies should explore factors associated with adolescent vaping and identify effective prevention measures.
