Why This Matters

Addressing youth e-cigarette use is crucial for public health, as early initiation can lead to long-term addiction and health problems. School nurses play a key role in early intervention and education.

By strengthening their capacity and implementing targeted strategies, school nurses can significantly reduce e-cigarette use among students, contributing to healthier communities.

Public Health Relevance

Empowering school nurses with evidence-based tools can lead to more effective health promotion and disease prevention among adolescents.
