Eighteen leaders joined three focus groups; thematic analysis identified seven themes. Key themes included avoiding e-cigarettes, sharing knowledge, tailored communication, youth motivation, social-change roles, and long-term planning. Findings suggest nursing student leaders can transfer health literacy and support positive youth health behaviors.”
