Abstract in brief

  • This study aims to synthesize evidence on effective interventions for changing perceptions of vaping harm among young people and adults, and how these perceptions influence vaping and smoking behaviors.
  • A systematic review of 85 articles revealed that most studies focused on U.S. populations, with young people frequently encountering educational programs that emphasize the harms of vaping, while adults often received information suggesting vaping is less harmful than smoking.
  • The findings indicate a generally effective change in harm perceptions post-intervention, particularly for young individuals, although the high risk of bias in the study methodologies necessitates cautious interpretation of the results.
