Proven Prevention: CATCH My Breath Webinar | Nov. 20

The Evidence Is In. Prevention Works.

After five years of NIH-funded research, the results are clear:

Students who participated in CATCH My Breath were nearly four times less likely to try vaping by 8th grade than those who didn’t.

Now, for the first time, the findings from this landmark randomized controlled trial (RCT) are being publicly unveiled, alongside new studies showing major reductions in youth vaping across Tennessee, Appalachia, and Canada.

Join us for this special session with CATCH Global Foundation and UTHealth Houston School of Public Health to learn how evidence-based prevention is transforming youth health.
