You and Me, Together Vape-Free curriculum, which is part of the Stanford Tobacco Prevention Toolkit, is a 4-lesson evidence-based curriculum created by the Stanford REACH Lab as well as by their Youth Action Board, educators, healthcare providers, and scientists across the U.S. The You and Me, Together Vape-Free curriculum includes a middle and high school program that are 4 lessons, approximately 50 minutes each. Every lesson provides activities, and interactive worksheets in addition to presentations, resources, and other materials aimed at addressing key factors associated with youth e-cigarette use, including changing adolescents’ attitudes towards and misperceptions about e-cigarettes, increasing their refusal skills to pulls of flavors, marketing, and social media; reducing stress and depression which have been linked to e-cigarette initiation and use; improving coping; and decreasing intentions and actual use of all e-cigarette products.

The goals of this curriculum are for adolescents to:

• Increase their knowledge about e-cigarettes and the harms they can cause.

• Gain awareness of strategies manufacturers and sellers of e-cigarettes employ to increase use among adolescents, such as deceptive and creative marketing strategies.

• Gain skills to refuse experimentation and use of e-cigarettes.

• Ultimately, to reduce and prevent e-cigarette use of any type, including nicotine, cannabis/THC, and/or non-nicotine products.
