Description
Suzanna Powell and colleagues surveyed Montana school administrators in 2026 about student use of vaping devices. Schools sit on the front line for preventing, catching, and helping students quit nicotine vaping. The team wanted to know which prevention, discipline, and quitting strategies administrators actually use and judge effective.
Forty-two administrators answered the survey and eleven sat for interviews during 2025. Just over half had seen students vaping on school grounds that year. Education sessions, patrols, and telling parents about a first offence were rated most effective, while quitting support options were patchier and administrators wanted more of them. Interviews stressed teamwork with peers, parents, and school resource officers. Education sessions, signs, and posters, the cheapest measures, were also the most widely used.
