Evaluation of the Vaping ECHO for Education Pilot Initiative in Kansas

In the third year of Vaping ECHO for Education, a pilot program which addresses vaping among Kansas youth, about one-third (38.5 percent) of school teams implemented a new vaping policy and more than three-fourths (84.7 percent) of school teams reported starting development or completing development of community partnerships to address vaping. The Vaping ECHO for Education Initiative was developed in collaboration with the Vaping Task Force convened by the Kansas State Board of Education from June 2019 through December 2021. The Kansas Health Institute provides coordination, facilitation and evaluation services to schools across Kansas for the pilot, which uses the Project ECHO® model to disseminate evidence-based strategies for e-cigarette prevention and cessation among youth.
