Expanded School-Based Program Linked to Lower Youth Tobacco Use Rates in California

Using data from more than 160,000 students statewide, the researchers found that students attending schools receiving TUPE funding were about 20% less likely to use tobacco overall and 23% less likely to vape compared with students in schools without TUPE funding, even after accounting for demographic and regional differences.
