Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	change in percent of participants who are not susceptible to future vaping	Participants will be asked three questions. (1) Are you curious about using e-cigarettes (vaping)?; (2) Do you think that you will use e-cigarettes (vaping) in the next 12 months?; and (3) If one of your best friends were to offer you an e-cigarette, would you use it? Responses include 1= definitely not, 2= probably not, 3= probably yes, 4= definitely yes. Participants who answer "Definitely not" to all three questions will be categorized as not susceptible.	baseline to post intervention, approximately 1 day
