Practice Briefs

Given the high prevalence of vaping among teenagers and the negative outcomes associated with the habit, it is important for families and educators to be knowledgeable about ways to prevent and address vaping behavior among school-aged youth. This brief seeks to provide educators with a background on vaping among youth, a rationale for using approaches like positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) to address vaping, and an outline of how the PBIS framework, at each tier, can be used to organize and implement supports to prevent and reduce student vaping.
