Using the smokeSCREEN Intervention to Impact Adolescent Behavior and Reduce Smoking and Vaping

Adolescent tobacco use, particularly e-cigarettes and vaping, poses significant public health risks. Preventing the initiation of tobacco use during adolescence is crucial, as most adult smokers begin using tobacco before the age of 18. This white paper examines findings from several peer-reviewed studies on smokeSCREEN, a videogame-based intervention designed to educate and provide skills to adolescents about the risks of smoking and vaping.
