Summary
Introduction and review of literatureHookah pipe use is a major public health concern that affects adolescents’ physical and mental health (Currie & Bray, 2019; Kintz et al, 2020). Hookah pipe smoking exposes adolescents to nicotine, which is addictive and dangerous because it causes a rapid release of adrenaline from the cortex of adrenal glands. This release causes concerning symptoms such as shortness of breath as well as increased blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar levels. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design an intervention to reduce adolescent hookah pipe use and satisfy their BPN. Phase 2 was the development of the intervention in collaboration with stakeholders from academia, policy and practice (n = 25). Phase 2 was implemented through a 4-hour workshop with the stakeholders.
