The Interior Health Tobacco & Vapour Reduction team is developing a Teen Advisory Group to secure a teen perspective on tobacco and vaping. A teen advisory group will provide teen voices and ‘lived experience’ to Interior Health’s Tobacco & Vapour Reduction initiatives. The value of having access to teenagers lived experience is fundamental in targeting teen commercial tobacco & vapour use. By understanding teen tobacco and vapour perspectives, Reduction Coordinators can tailor teen specific prevention and cessation treatment initiatives based on the Teen Advisory Council’s recommendations and feedback. Each Teen Advisory member will be compensated with an honorarium of $25.00/hr for their participation.
We are looking for TEENS who:
• Are between the ages of 13-19 years of age
• Are smokers/vapers or non-smokers/non-vapers (being a smoker is not a prerequisite)
• Live anywhere in the Interior Health region
• Have access to a device, email address and a stable internet connection to attend meetings via Zoom
