FAYETTEVILLE -- A pair of researchers from the University of Arkansas are set to collaborate with Arisa Health to broaden their efforts in educating Central Arkansas youth about the dangers of vaping. This initiative comes in response to increasing concerns regarding the rising popularity of vaping among adolescents and its associated health risks.

The grant acquired for this project will enable the researchers to develop comprehensive educational materials and programs aimed at raising awareness about the harmful effects of vaping. The partnership seeks to engage local schools and community organizations to ensure that the message reaches a wide audience.

By focusing on prevention and education, the researchers hope to equip young people with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions regarding vaping. The initiative aims not only to inform but also to foster a supportive environment for youth to discuss these issues openly. Through this collaboration, the goal is to create a healthier future for the youth of Central Arkansas.
