Webinar: School-Tobacco Strategy Announcement
Date: Aug. 13
Time: 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Schools are seeking the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership’s (SHIP) assistance to address the high rates of e-cigarette use among their students. From 2014 to 2017, self-reports from the Minnesota Student Survey found a 49% increase in the number of high school students that used or tried e-cigarettes or vapes in the past 30 days. With the rapid rise in popularity of e-cigarettes by young people, schools are facing a crisis. SHIP is in a position to help.
Local SHIP staff may now select an optional Schools-Tobacco strategy for grant year 2019-2020. Approved activities include working on model policy and implementing or enhancing tobacco prevention curriculum. Join the webinar for a chance to review the proposed guidance and to ask MDH content staff questions about the changes.
