About the tool

This tool was developed with input from local experts and community members from in and around the Eastern Virginia region. With this resource, medical and education professionals, along with parents, can assess teens' levels of risk for vaping use and addiction and get connected to evidence-based resources for teen vaping prevention and intervention based on the level of risk.
