Brian Primack co-authors study on vaping devices marketed to young children on Instagram

Brian Primack, professor of public health, served as mentor and senior author on a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine examining vaping devices shaped like children's sippy cups that are being actively marketed on Instagram. The research is among the first to document this marketing practice.

The study is also notable for its approach: middle school students were actively involved as co-authors on research directly relevant to their lives, reflecting an innovative model for youth engagement in public health science. Read the full study.
