Vaping Policy Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Compliance Among Students, Faculty, and Staff at Penn State Harrisburg

Margaret Scicchitano

This cross-sectional study (n=402) examined vaping policy awareness, attitudes, beliefs, and compliance among students, faculty, and staff at Penn State Harrisburg. Over 55% were unaware vaping is included in the policy. Support for a vaping ban (aOR=0.229, p=0.04) and discomfort witnessing vaping (aOR=0.167, p=0.04) correlated with lower vaping rates. Findings highlight the need for clearer policies and targeted education to improve awareness and compliance.
