VapeChat is a research study at the Center for Behavioral Science Research at Boston University. The study aims to develop and test a vaping prevention and cessation program for high school age students through a virtual reality (VR) game. This program was created by psychologists, physicians, and other behavioral scientists using the latest science on how to prevent and treat addiction. Overall, we aim to create an immersive vaping cessation and prevention program that will be fun and engaging for teens.

This study is funded by the American Heart Association to Belinda Borrelli, Ph.D., a Professor at Boston University with over 25 years developing and testing interventions for health promotion and for smoking cessation.
