About Louisa Bruce
Hey! I am a second-year psychology student at the University of Leeds, and a 2026 Laidlaw Scholar. I have a strong interest in health psychology and psychological research, and am keen to pursue a career in research.
This summer, my project will be a systematic review of the motivations, influences and perceptions of vaping among adolescents.
Outside of academics, I love getting involved with university societies to try new hobbies. I am currently the secretary of Leeds Caledonian Society, a testament to my love for ceilidh dancing and Scottish heritage. I also love other forms of dance, cooking, baking and playing chess (but not well). Happy to connect!

Research Poster: Why Do Adolescents Vape?
This poster presents the current findings of my ongoing review about why adolescents initiate e-cigarette use. Whilst we are currently continuing screening, I am excited to share the state of our project after the design and initial searches, as well as our expectations for the continuation.
