Student Feedback

Inspiro and Eastern Health teams have created a short 3-minute survey to gather feedback on vaping amongst young people within schools in the Yarra Ranges and would greatly appreciate your opinions and thoughts. I have attached a link to the survey below.

We know that vaping is a huge issue for young people and schools are looking for resources and programs to assist with educating their students and families. This survey is aimed at getting a more thorough understanding of the current climate of vaping amongst young people in schools in the Yarra Ranges. It is hoped that the survey outcomes will help identify the scope of school needs relating to vaping prevention and assist with a more targeted plan for program development and delivery.

The survey will close on 13th of June 2023.

If you have any further questions or need further assistance please email Rebeccah.clarke@inspiro.org.au or Meredith.anderson@easternhealth.org.au
