Winning Posters from the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists 2022 Annual Conference: The Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy

ABSTRACT

Brown discusses his study on the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination amongst respiratory therapists in Canada. Canadian Respiratory Therapist COVID-19 vaccination uptake rates and responses were investigated with a look at the reasons behind any delays or non-vaccinations as well as other demographics, attitudes, or factors that may be shown to play a role. Meanwhile, Floro et al discuss their study on the effectiveness of vaping vs. counseling on smoking cessation. Smoking cigarettes is a global issue that strongly increases risk of diseases, like lung cancer, and is a known risk factor for mortality. It is further complicated by the addictive nature of nicotine.
