Dr. Damodhar Suresh on the Youth Vaping Epidemic
Approximately 20% of U.S. high school students and 5% of middle school students use e-cigarettes (CDC, 2020). In the 2018 Kentucky Incentives for Prevention (KIP) survey, 58% of 10th graders in Northern Kentucky reported using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. With the upsurge of e-cigarette use among students, schools have been actively searching for ways to address the youth vaping epidemic. In this episode, Dr. Damodhar Suresh, Executive Medical Director of the Heart & Vascular Institute at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, shares how the youth vaping epidemic got out of control so quickly and ways that schools, parents, and other caring adults can intervene to address and prevent youth vaping.
Getting to know the NKY Institute for Strategic Prevention
A recent KIP survey revealed that only 8% of tenth graders had never tried vaping before. In response to alarming statistics like this, the Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services has received grant funds to create the Northern Kentucky Institute for Strategic Prevention. This Institute is working hard to be a hub of information on substance abuse and prevention for our young people. Learn how Kristen Haddad and Ashleigh DuBois are leading this work and tackling this widespread problem in our region.
