Mental Health Status by Race, Ethnicity and Socioeconomic Status among Young Adults in Texas during Covid-19
Tobacco retail outlet marketing exposure and growth of e-cigarette and cigarette use over adolescence and early young adulthood
Exposure to TRO marketing increases the odds of tobacco product use for youth ageing into young adulthood. E-cigarette marketing may be particularly influential in early adolescence. TRO marketing restrictions are needed to reduce tobacco use among youth and young adults
Application of inverse weighting analysis to assess the association of youth perceptions with the age of initiation of tobacco products
Introduction: To examine if perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness of hookah and cigarettes impact the age of initiation of hookah and cigarettes, respectively, among US youth. Youth (12-17 years old) users and never users of hookah and cigarettes during their first wave of PATH participation were analyzed by each tobacco product (TP) independently. The effect of perceptions of (i) harmfulness and (ii) addictiveness at the first wave of PAT…
Commentary Regarding “Adult Smokers’ Complete Switching Away from Cigarettes at 6, 9, and 12 Months After Initially Purchasing a Juul e-Cigarette”
We present a commentary on the recent publication by Kim et al. (2024). The study is a secondary analysis of a subsample of the ADJUSST dataset. The ADJUSST study is comprised of N = 55,414 adults
Racial and ethnic disparities in chronic disease risk in adolescence after prenatal polydrug exposure
Racial disparities exist in fetal development which in turn can influence growth and development of chronic disease later in life. The purpose of this study was to explore potential racial and ethnic differences in chronic disease risk factors throughout the pediatric years given prenatal exposure to substance use. Data from the Maternal Lifestyle Study cohort was used for this analysis. Urine toxicology confirmed maternal substance use (y/n) and…
Cannabis vaping use in emerging adulthood
Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety and Subsequent Use of Nicotine and THC in Electronic Cigarettes
BACKGROUND: This study examines whether symptoms of depression, anxiety, or comorbid depression and anxiety are associated with future use of nicotine or THC in e-cigarettes. METHODS: Data were from an online survey of youth and young adults in urban areas of Texas with complete data (n = 2,307) in spring 2019 (baseline) and spring 2020 (12-month follow-up). Multivariable logistic regression models examined associations between self-reported symp…
Association between E-Cigarette Use Behaviors and Anxiety/Depression among Black/African American Adults Based on Sexual Identity
Limited studies have examined disparities in e-cigarette use among Black/African American adults by sexual identity and whether the relationship between symptoms of anxiety/depression and e-cigarette use varies by sexual identity. We examined the association between e-cigarette use behaviors (never, former, and current use) and anxiety/depression among a nationally representative sample of Black/African American adults who identified as a sexual …
The association of perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness on the age of initiation of cigar product use among youth
Background: Perceptions of cigar products' harmfulness and addictiveness in youth are associated with subsequent cigar product initiation, but their association on the age of initiation of cigar product use is unknown. Methods: The association of perceptions of harmfulness and addictiveness at youth's first wave of PATH participation (waves 1 or 2 in years 2013-2015) on the age of initiation of (i) ever. (ii) past 30-day, and (iii) fairly regular…
The Effect of Perceptions of Hookah Harmfulness and Addictiveness on the Age of Initiation of Hookah Use among Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Youth
Despite the negative health consequence of hookah, hookah risk perceptions are misguided among youth. Secondary data analysis of 12-17-year-old never hookah users at their first wave of PATH participation (2013-2019) was performed. The effect of perceptions of hookah harmfulness and addictiveness on the age of initiation ever, past 30-day, and fairly regular hookah use were estimated using interval-censored Cox proportional hazards models. The di…
Positive Affect and Multiple-tobacco Product Use among Youth
Objectives: Multiple-tobacco product (MTP) use is common among adolescent tobacco users. Low positive affect is a risk factor for e-cigarette use and combustible tobacco smoking. In this study, we examine the longitudinal relationship between positive affect and MTP use in a diverse cohort of adolescents in Texas. Methods: We analyzed 6 waves of biennial data (fall 2014-spring 2017) from the Texas Adolescent Tobacco and Marketing Surveillance (TA…
Multiple tobacco product use among cigarette smokers
There was a gradient relationship between menthol cigarette smoking and number of tobacco products used among young adult cigarette smokers. Findings provide for greater regulatory and programmatic efforts to reduce the use of menthol cigarettes
The Recalled Age of Initiation of Multiple Tobacco Products among 26–34 Year Olds
Due to the ever-changing tobacco marketplace, understanding when contemporary adults aged 26-34 years recall initiating TP use is important and will inform prevention researchers
A Simulation of the potential impact of restricting tobacco retail outlets around middle and high schools on tobacco advertisements
Students can be exposed to a great deal of tobacco advertising in TROs around their schools. The implementation of a 1000 ft ban of TROs, or at minimum a ban on tobacco advertising outside and within these outlets, is one way to prevent or reduce the use of tobacco among adolescents
Adolescent Tobacco Uptake and Other Substance Use
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of tobacco uptake and other substance use, from early to late adolescence. Methods: We used weighted latent class analysis, conducted separately for 7 th , 9 th , and 11 th graders, to assess patterns of susceptibility, ever and current use of combustible tobacco and e-cigarettes, and other substance use (ie, current alcohol, binge drinking, and marijuana). Data were from Wave 3 of the…
