Wisconsin Youth Vaping Study

What is this research study?

The goal of this study is to learn what Wisconsin teens ages 13-18 think about vaping and nicotine. The study is taking place in May or June 2024 online. If they choose to participate, youth will join a one-hour virtual Zoom meeting with a researcher from KW2, a third-party research firm working on this project, and 4-7 other youth participants. Participants who complete a virtual focus group will receive a $100 gift card as payment for their time. This program is funded by the Wisconsin Commercial Tobacco Prevention and Treatment Program, Division of Public Health, Wisconsin Department of Health Services.


Who can participate?

Teens ages 13-18 residing in Wisconsin. We are looking for both people who have and people who have not used vapes or other nicotine products. Being interested in or signing up for a focus group does not mean the participant is using or has used vapes or other products.


What information will be collected?

We are not asking for any personal health information such as diagnoses or treatments as part of this research project. To sign up, participants will need to provide an email address and first name for contact and payment purposes only. Participants can choose to remove their information and their research participation at any time by contacting [email protected].


How will the data collected be used or shared? 

All participant answers will remain confidential. The virtual discussions will be recorded for notetaking purposes and only anonymous transcripts will be retained. Information from this project will not be shared with or used by anyone outside of the project.
