Evaluating the One-Year Impact of School e-Cigarette Use Interventions among Current Youth e-Cigarette Users in the COMPASS Study, 2017/18-2018/19.

ABSTRACT: 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 model
