Brief Summary:
This study will examine E-Invite Only VR, a novel school-based universal e-cigarette prevention intervention that uses virtual reality (VR) to deliver prevention and emotion regulation skills-building content to middle school students in real-world classrooms. In Phase 1, investigators will conduct focus groups with adolescents and interviews with school staff to inform the development and implementation of the intervention.
Detailed Description:
Investigators will conduct focus groups with adolescents. 4 focus groups will focus on collecting adolescents' perceptions about e-cigarettes and students' mental health needs in general, and how they perceive the link between the 2 constructs. Participants will also play E-Invite Only VR and then convene to share their thoughts and experiences. Participants will also fill out surveys including the System Usability Scale and the Gameplay Experience Questionnaire.
Staff will review and discuss the E-Invite Only VR implementation plan and respond to the Feasibility of Implementation Plan assessment during the interviews. Investigators will work with two populations: 1) Adolescents attending 8th grade in one of our partner schools, and 2) School staff employed by a partner school.
The target user for the E-Invite Only VR intervention is 8th grade students because the game is focused on prevention. Early adolescence is known to be a critical period for the risk of nicotine dependence and the transition between middle school and high school is a period when youth might be particularly likely to experiment with substances such as e-cigarettes.
Investigators will work with school staff to ensure the E-Invite Only VR intervention is feasible to implement in schools.
