   HOW YVAPE WORKS   

YVAPE is available to California public schools with students 12 years and older that have students found with or under the influence of nicotine or marijuana at school.

See below for details on eligibility and how the student can complete YVAPE.

School Personnel
For a student to be eligible...
+
Step 1: Eligibility
For a student to be eligible, the answer should be yes to all of these questions.
  1. Was the student found with nicotine or marijuana at school?
  2. Is the student at least 12 years old?
  3. Does the student have an email address and access to a phone?

Step 2: Consent
Explain the YVAPE program to the student and parent or guardian. Obtain the signatures of the student and parent or guardian on the appropriate consent form.
  • If you choose to obtain consent via DocuSign, please provide a personal email address for the student rather than a school issued email address and ensure that the student and parent or guardian (of students 12-17 years old) sign the forms that were emailed to them.
  • If you choose to obtain consent via pdf, obtain the signatures of the student and parent or guardian (of students 12-17 years old) on the consent form. Email the signed forms to YVAPE at yvape-support@health.ucsd.edu
    • If needed, downloadable forms are available here.
Step 3: Enrollment
Enter the student into the program's web enrollment portal at www.yvape.org
Enrollment will require contact information for a school contact, the student, and a parent or guardian.
You will receive an enrollment confirmation email upon submission.

Step 4: Completion
You will receive an email to inform you whether the student has completed the program or not.
If the student does not complete the program, you can request that the student is reactivated (i.e., YVAPE will restart call attempts) by emailing yvape-support@health.ucsd.edu
Parent
Sign a permission form if your child is younger than 18...

Step 1: Consent
Sign a permission form if your child is younger than 18. If your child’s school chooses DocuSign consent, you will receive the form in your email after your child signs. If the school chooses pdf consent, give the signed form to your child's school (usually a principal or vice principal).

Downloadable forms are available here.

Step 2: Videos & Discussion
We encourage you to watch the videos and discuss the questions with your child. You can find the videos and discussion questions by clicking on the link provided in your videos email from YVAPE or by going to www.yvape.org/videos.

Step 3: Completion
You will receive an email to inform you whether your child has completed the program or not. Your child's school will receive a similar email.
Student
Sign a form giving your consent to participate...

Step 1: Consent
Sign a form giving your consent to participate. If your school chooses DocuSign consent, you will receive the form in your email. If your school chooses pdf consent, give the signed form to your school (usually a principal or vice principal).

Downloadable forms are available here.

Step 2: Initial Call
Answer the call from your YVAPE coach (1-888-525-0122). You will talk to them for around 15-20 minutes about yourself and your substance use and set up a time for a follow-up call.

Step 3: Videos & Discussion
Pick 3 or more YVAPE videos to watch. We encourage you to watch with your parent or guardian and discuss the questions with them. You can find the videos and discussion questions by clicking on the link provided in your videos email from YVAPE or by going to www.yvape.org/videos.
  • Each video is around 2-4 minutes.
  • Video topics include marketing manipulation by the vaping industry, health effects of vaping, vaping marijuana, vaping marijuana: your brain & lungs, dealing with stress, understanding motivation, and personal responsibility.

Step 4: Follow-up Call
Answer the call from your YVAPE coach (1-888-525-0122). You will talk with your coach for around 15 minutes about the videos, your discussion with your parent or guardian, and your substance use. You can also ask any questions you may have.

Step 5: Completion
You will receive a certificate of completion in your program completion email from YVAPE and your school will be notified of your completion.
*While YVAPE is not a cessation program, students who want help quitting tobacco can be enrolled in Kick It California's tobacco cessation services here.
What are students saying?
Most students who completed YVAPE said that talking to the coaches was helpful and they learned something from the videos.
Our students have given us positive feedback re: your program. In some cases, students who have not been caught vaping have actually asked us if they could participate in the program because they have heard good things about it, and they are very aware that they need some help!

These videos were created just for YVAPE. The topics are based on research and input from students like you.
