Dr Lauren Gardner’s research aims to enhance adolescent health and wellbeing by developing digital interventions with high school students, teachers and multidisciplinary experts, evaluating intervention efficacy and effectiveness, and rapidly disseminating the programs to the public. Most recently, this includes leading the OurFutures Vaping Study. This is the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a school-based vaping prevention program in Australia, including 40 schools and >5,000 students across NSW, QLD and WA. Lauren is also leading research to develop and evaluate an implementation model to take the suite of effective OurFutures health and wellbeing programs to scale, both nationally and internationally. Another one of which is ‘Health4Life’ – the first school-based digital intervention to simultaneously target the “Big 6” lifestyle risk behaviours for chronic disease (physical inactivity, poor diet, screen time, poor sleep, alcohol use and smoking) – which was evaluated in Australia’s largest RCT of a preventive intervention (71 schools, >6,600 student), coordinated by Lauren.
