    In March 2026, the Washington State Department of Health conducted a brief survey of 104 Washington youth ages 13–17 about nicotine pouches. The survey explored youth knowledge, awareness, and perceptions of nicotine pouches, as well as the factors that motivate or discourage their use.


    During this webinar, we will share the key findings from the survey and discuss how the Department of Health is using these insights to inform communication and marketing strategies for its youth prevention campaigns, YouCan and ChooseYou.

    Presented by: Antonio Gomez BSN, RN and Sally Riggs DrPH

    Webinar

    The goal of this interactive training is to help substance use disorder prevention practitioners make ethical choices in their field and practice. We will discuss the Six Principles in the Prevention Code of Ethics in large and small groups, walk through the decision-making process similar to using the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) to use when faced with ethical challenges, and discuss the implications of ethics for our field.
