Professional Practice Gaps

Research supports parents attitudes about vaping having an influence on their children’s intention to vape.1
Therefore, healthcare professionals need to be prepared to counsel parents of adolescents about their vaping. Healthcare professionals have moderately low levels of knowledge about e-cigarettes and moderately low comfort discussing e-cigarettes with parents and adolescent patients2. Few healthcare professionals ask patients about these products explicitly. Although the medical professional societies, APA and AAFP, recommend screening for substance use at well-child visits3, including screening for electronic nicotine delivery systems4,5, health care professionals still use ineffective screening approaches6. Only half of PCPs who received identification of a positively screened youth provided an appropriate brief intervention or treatment option7.

A lack of training in how to respond to a positive screen for substance use, in general, is common8. In a survey of 4th-year medical students, more than 2/3 (68.7%) regarded their training on vaping as inadequate 9

Without these skills and practice behaviors, it is unlikely that they are providing meaningful, targeted guidance to their parents. There are treatment guidelines they could be trained to follow. Several medical professional organizations, including the APA and AAFP, have made recommendations that health care professionals can follow for how to address the problem of vaping/e-cigarette use by adolescent and young adult patients4,5,10. These guidelines include recommendations to involve family support to the extent possible while recognizing and respecting the adolescent’s growing need for autonomy.
