Protective Factors Against e‐Cigarette Use Among First Nations People Aged 16–24 in the Next Generation Youth Wellbeing Study
Most First Nations adolescents have never vaped, with potential protective factors being better mental health, no other substance use and fewer experiences of racism and justice system interactions. Comprehensive community adolescent prevention programs are needed to prevent vaping and protect future health, including preventing nicotine addiction and future smoking. SO WHAT?: Policies and programs must address e-cigarettes directly as well as structural factors, promoting broader adolescent wellbeing, centring culture and family in a strengths-based approach.
