Abstract

Objective: The objective of the review is to systematically examine the emerging literature related to public health interventions aimed at preventing adolescent vaping.

Introduction: The prevalence of vaping among adolescents is a rising concern worldwide. A thorough investigation of existing public health interventions to prevent vaping among adolescents is imperative to reduce serious and avoidable vaping-related health risks for this cohort. Many vaping-prevention interventions have been described in the literature, but their key components and outcomes have not been summarized.

Inclusion criteria: All English literature related to public health interventions preventing adolescent (aged 10 to 18 years) vaping from all countries will be included.

Methods: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. A comprehensive search of academic and gray literature using MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Embase (Ovid), PubMed, PsycINFO (Ovid), ProQuest (Health and Medicine and Sociology Collections), and Web of Science Core Collection will be performed. Articles will be screened for inclusion by 2 independent reviewers. Results will be extracted using customized tools and summarized in a final report using narrative synthesis and presented in table format.
