| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation explores the use of parental education about the adverse effects of e-cigarettes and nicotine in adolescence to lower the rate of e-cigarette use in Tooele County, Utah. |
| Abstract |
In 2019, 8.0% of sixth graders in Tooele County, Utah, reported ever using e-cigarettes (State of Utah, 2019). Due to the high e-cigarette use among adolescents in Tooele County, and the association of parental attitudes with adolescent e-cigarette use, there is a need for parental education regarding the adverse health effects of e-cigarette and nicotine use in adolescence. The primary goal of this DNP project was to raise parental awareness and concern about the prevalence of e-cigarette use in adolescence, as well as the harmful effects of nicotine on the developing brain, and to encourage open conversation regarding e-cigarette use between parents and their children. |
