Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Adolescent e-cigarette use presents unique challenges compared to traditional smoking.
  • Perceptions of reduced harm and sensation-seeking behaviors drive youth uptake.
  • Traditional prevention programs may be ineffective for e-cigarette use, necessitating new interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Meta Nodam program, a metaverse-based educational initiative.
  • To assess its potential in enhancing adolescents' resistance to e-cigarette use.
  • To increase adolescent engagement in e-cigarette prevention education.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 120 adolescents over two 45-minute metaverse sessions on Roblox.
  • Pre- and post-intervention surveys measured changes in intentions, attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy.
  • Focus group interviews with 10 participants explored their experiences.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant increase in e-cigarette-related self-efficacy was observed.
    • No significant changes in intentions or attitudes towards e-cigarette use were found.
    • Qualitative data indicated immersive experiences made risks tangible and encouraged reflection.

    Conclusions:

    • The metaverse program enhanced self-efficacy but did not alter attitudes or intentions due to its short duration.
    • The study demonstrated the metaverse's applicability, usefulness, and attractiveness for health education.
    • Future research requires larger samples and robust designs to confirm intervention potential.
