Evaluation of the Be Vape Free Curriculum of the Tobacco Prevention Toolkit

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The Stanford Tobacco Prevention Toolkit is a free online curriculum developed for use by educators and health professionals in providing tobacco-specific prevention education to middle and high school students. A set of lessons focused on e-cigarette/vaping prevention education specifically is called the Be Vape Free curriculum. The aims of this study are to determine: (1) whether the Be Vape Free curriculum is effective in increasing middle and high school students' resistance to using tobacco and in decreasing positive attitudes towards and intentions to use e-cigarettes; (2) whether the Curriculum is effective in changing middle and high school students' actual use of tobacco; and (3) Examine heterogenous treatment effects identifying groups that benefit the most and those who do not benefit at all from the intervention.
