Article Synopsis
- SGM (sexual and gender minority) youth vape more than other teens in the U.S., and social media could help discourage this, but the messages need to be tailored specifically for them.
- Researchers interviewed 34 SGM youth to learn their thoughts on vaping and what anti-vaping messages they find effective, focusing on representation, facts, empowerment, and trustworthy sources.
- The study showed that SGM youth want messages that include accurate representation of their community, relatable language, and involvement from LGBTQ+ influencers to make the messages more impactful.
