Treatments for adolescent nicotine dependence


Case Study: Jaden Holloway Jaden Holloway (he/him), a 16-year-old White boy, comes to your outpatient clinic with his aunt, Antonia, who is his legal guardian. Antonia reports, "Jaden's been acting different lately-more secretive, irritable, staying up late. I cleaned his room last week and found these little bottles of liquid and two disposable vape devices in his desk drawer. He told me they were his friend's, but later admitted he's been using them. He said it's 'just for fun' and not a big deal. I'm worried because one of the bottles clearly says it's got nicotine." Jaden rolls his eyes and says, "I don't get why she's freaking out. I started in ninth grade, and she never noticed before. My friend's cousin buys them for us. I mostly vape on weekends, but sometimes I do it between classes or after school. It helps me chill when I'm stressed. It's not like I'm smoking cigarettes. I can stop anytime I want." Antonia interrupts, "His grades have dropped this year, and I think he's more anxious than he admits. I'd like to know if there's anything to help him quit. Like patches or gum? But I don't want him on anything unsafe for his age." Questions What treatment approaches are evidence-based for adolescent nicotine dependence? Which would be safest and most effective for Jaden, considering his age, access to products, and psychosocial context? Need Assignment Help?
