Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems Prevalence and Potential Treatment Applications Among UND Students

Memorial Union Ballroom 214C

The current study seeks to examine the level of nicotine dependence for college-aged ENDS users, compare demographic characteristics, determine possible motivators for initiating use, history of psychological disorders, and personal education surrounding vaping. A separate protocol will be submitted for the intervention study although participants from this study will be eligible and recruited for the intervention phase. A cross-sectional Qualtrics survey is administered to >300 college students using UND’s SONA’s system (max 400). Several scales will be included that measure constructs such as substance use, anxiety, depression, social support, and life satisfaction, perceived stress, mindfulness, sexual violence history, and physical health. Approximately 10 participants will then be recruited to participate in the intervention study.
