The Vaping Epidemic: Troubling Trends and Their Implications for Youth Cannabis Use Prevention and Policy – A Call to Action! – Webinar
Thursday, January 31, 2020 2:00 p.m. EST
The first part of this webinar will present the latest data on national and regional trends in adolescent and young adult cannabis use and vaping, as well as emerging research on unique risks from cross-fading (i.e., simultaneous use of cannabis and alcohol). Research on perceived risk of cannabis use, trends in drugged-driving, and the negative cognitive, academic, and mental health consequences of cannabis use will also be discussed – including a specific focus on how prevention specialists can use this research to inform their work. The second part will review the characteristics of the evolving cannabis market such as increasing potency, flavors, and product diversification, and marketing practices driving the vaping epidemic, and discuss policy approaches to address these risks. Finally, it will discuss the role that participants can play in mobilizing community stakeholders to affect cannabis regulatory practices and protect public health, and how a clearer understanding of what is driving the youth vaping epidemic could inform these approaches.
