Fighting Big Tobacco
Anti-Vaping Champions is a collaboration between the UCLA Health Division of Medicine-Pediatrics and Preventive Medicine and the California Tobacco Prevention Program dedicated to decreasing vaping and other harmful forms of nicotine and tobacco use through policy education, clinical quality improvement, and curricular development.
Our Approach
Policy Research & Education
We believe in the power of community. Our Task Force brings together health care providers, policymakers, community leaders, educators, and parents to develop and advocate for policies that reduce vaping prevalence.
Screening & Referral Support
Testing improved vaping screening and referral procedures in pediatric and primary care clinics.
Curriculum Design
At the training level, Anti Vaping Champions aims to address vaping and nicotine addiction through the development and incorporation of a redesigned nicotine addiction treatment curriculum into professional health care training programs. By introducing specific training for nicotine and tobacco dependence, along with a history of the tobacco epidemic and the industry's role in creating it, we prepare future practitioners to make direct change in their communities through health care delivery.
