The Breathe Easy All Together (BEAT) peer-leadership program aims to empower students by providing them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage an asthma emergency and resist e-cigarette use.
How It Works:
The BEAT program builds on an evidence-based peer-education model informed by principles of Social Cognitive Theory and Empowerment Education.
Step 1: PERU staff train Year 10 students as BEAT Peer Leaders in a one-day workshop.
Step 2: BEAT Peer Leaders in teams of four will deliver 2 x 60 min lessons to Year 7 students using an interactive online course and activities.

The BEAT program builds on decades of experience and on two evidence based peer education programs: the Adolescent Asthma Action (Triple A) and Students As LifeStyle Activists (SALSA).
Following a successful pilot study to determine program acceptability and feasibility we are undertaking a study to evaluate the BEAT program in 2024-25.
