Addressing e-cigarette use in collaboration with rural school districts
is developing a program to address e-cigarette use in rural schools and communities. The center is adapting an existing curriculum with information from a listening tour with rural adolescents and adults. Two distinct tracks of educational programming are being developed:
- A group medical visit (GMV)-style treatment program or workshop for students facing disciplinary action for using nicotine e-cigarette products in school who opt for the program as an alternative
- A flexible, self-paced educational curriculum for providers in rural areas (primary care providers, family medicine physicians, pediatricians, and school nurses) to learn about nicotine replacement therapy and treating nicotine use disorder in youth
Supported by Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) of the US Department of Health & Human Services
