What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the characteristics of adolescents who vape and their parents' views on adolescent vaping. It will involve surveying adolescents aged 13 to 17, including those who currently vape, previously vaped, and those who have never vaped, as well as their parents. Participants will complete an anonymous survey using their own devices, which will take approximately 20 minutes. The study focuses on understanding vaping patterns, mental health symptoms, and parental attitudes towards vaping among adolescents in the Baltimore area.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adolescents aged 13-17 who currently vape, have previously vaped, or have never vaped, along with their parents who are aware of or suspect their child is vaping.
Not a fit: Patients who do not speak English or cannot complete the survey may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into adolescent vaping behaviors and parental perceptions, potentially informing interventions and policies.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on adolescent vaping, this specific approach focusing on both adolescents and parental attitudes is relatively novel.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
* INCLUSION CRITERIA: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must: Be an adolescent age 13-17, OR an adult who identifies as parenting an adolescent aged 13-17 whom they know/suspect is vaping. While we are including adolescents who do not vape in addition to those who do vape, we are only including parents of adolescents who do (or are suspected to) vape because it is this population that is most directly relevant to the upcoming MBSR study, and it is the attitudes of these parents that have most direct practical significance on adolescent vaping. All participants must be willing to complete the survey to the end. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Non-English speakers cannot participate in this study. Justification: The questionnaires from which the survey is constructed are not all validated in languages other than English. We do not have the resources to translate the consent and surveys. Those who cannot demonstrate understanding of the purpose of the survey by answering questions after a brief explanation will be excluded. Justification: The ability to understand the purpose of the survey is required in order to provide informed consent to participate and to be able to provide meaningful answers to the survey questions.
