In collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) Family Support Services, the ACE Project team created an English and Spanish online presentation for The Parent Academy. Dr. Elisa Trucco (ACE Project Co-PI) and Benjelene Sutherland (Post-Bac Research Assistant) presented on the most recent information regarding electronic nicotine delivery system (e.g., e-cigarette) use among teens. In addition, the online presentation was also translated by The Parent Academy into Haitian-Creole. The Parent Academy is a free, parent engagement initiative from M-DCPS that includes providing educational workshops and classes monthly for both parents and children. The Parent Academy aims to inform parents “about the importance of their roles, uniting families and schools, and giving parents a fuller sense of their rights, responsibilities, and the educational opportunities available. ”
