This is a two-arm, cluster randomized trial designed to to evaluate the effectiveness of an e-cigarette curriculum \[called the CATCH My Breath (CMB) program\] in delaying the onset of e-cigarette use in middle schoolers. Schools will be assigned to either the CMB program or usual care, which is Texas Education Agency (TEA) required tobacco prevention program. 10 schools will be assigned to each arm arm, and each school will include 70 students in the study, for a total of 700 students per arm and 1400 total students in the study. Both programs will be administered to participating students over 3 years.
