Emerging use of oral nicotine pouches among Canadian adolescents
Do sociodemographic risk profiles for adolescents engaging in weekly e-cigarette, cigarette, and dual product use differ
This study used a novel modelling approach (CART) to identify combinations of sociodemographic characteristics that profile high-risk groups for exclusive e-cigarette and dual-product use. Unique risk profiles were identified, suggesting that e-cigarettes are attracting new demographics of adolescents who have not previously been considered as high-risk for traditional cigarette use
Stronger together
This study demonstrates the importance of social support and connections with both friends and family, as well as keeping and maintaining a routine, over the pandemic. Interventions supporting positive relationships and engagement in these coping behaviours may be protective for adolescent mental health during disruptive events
Mental health and cannabis use among Canadian youth
Patterns of Cannabis Use among Canadian Youth over Time; Examining Changes in Mode and Frequency Using Latent Transition Analysis
These findings may highlight a key leverage point for harm-reduction strategies which aim to prevent cannabis related harms associated with high frequency use
Using Decision Trees to Examine Environmental and Behavioural Factors Associated with Youth Anxiety, Depression, and Flourishing
Modifiable environmental and behavioural factors influence youth mental health; however, past studies have primarily used regression models that quantify population average effects. Decision trees are an analytic technique that examine complex relationships between factors and identify high-risk subgroups to whom intervention measures can be targeted. This study used decision trees to examine associations of various risk factors with youth anxiet…
The association between public health engagement in school-based substance use prevention programs and student alcohol, cannabis, e-cigarette and cigarette use
This study highlights the need to develop better partnerships and collaborations between public health and schools, and the importance of ensuring that school-based substance use prevention programs are evidence-based and tailored to the specific needs of schools and students
High School Intramural Participation and Substance Use
Background There is an association between sports participation and substance use. However, there is some evidence that intramural sports in high school may not have the same effect. Therefore, the objective of this research was to examine the longitudinal associations between intramural participation in high school and substance use. Methods: This study used a three-year linked sample (2016-2018) of grade 9 and 10 (ages 13-17) Canadian high scho…
Modes of cannabis use among Canadian youth in the Compass study; using LCA to examine patterns of smoking, vaping, and eating/drinking cannabis
Research has indicated that cannabis consumption through alternative modes of use such as eating/drinking or vaping may be increasing in areas where cannabis has been legalized. However, there is little research that examines these different modes of cannabis use in a Canadian youth context. The purpose of this study was to identify pre-legalization modes of cannabis use (smoking, eating/drinking, vaping) among a sample of 45,677 secondary school…
Examining Engagement With Public Health in the Implementation of School‐Based Health Initiatives
BACKGROUND: Adolescence coincides with the adoption of health behaviors that schools are not necessarily equipped to properly address. Collaboration between schools and external health services such as public health could fill gaps in addressing student health. METHODS: The current study uses student- and school-level survey data from 59 nonprivate secondary schools in Ontario, Canada in year 6 (2017-2018) of the COMPASS study to examine barriers…
The Impact of Changes in Physical Education Class Enrollment on Moderate‐to‐Vigorous Physical Activity Among a Large Sample of Canadian Youth
BACKGROUND: Few youth engage in sufficient daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and the likelihood of meeting guidelines declines through secondary school. Physical education (PE) can afford youth with opportunities for MVPA. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of changes in PE enrollment on MVPA and MVPA guideline adherence in Ontario and Alberta secondary students. METHODS: Linked survey data was u…
A School-Level Examination of the Association between Programs and Policies and Physical Activity Outcomes among Females from the Compass Study
(1) The majority of Canadian youth are not meeting physical activity guidelines, and more female than male youth are falling short of these recommendations. School programs and policies are a viable strategy to improve youth physical activity. However, they may differentially affect female and male activity. This study aimed to examine school-level differences in physical activity outcomes among male and female students and to explore how school …
A comparison of repeat cross-sectional and longitudinal results from the Compass study
Selection of appropriate study design and analytical methods is critical for producing robust research, as the design and analytical approach used can ultimately shape results and their interpretation. The objective of this research was to examine how findings from a large repeat cross-sectional data system compare to those from a sample of longitudinal data nested within the same data system, using milk and milk alternative consumption as a case…
Are School Substance Use Policy Violation Disciplinary Consequences Associated with Student Engagement in Cannabis
Schools are increasingly concerned about student cannabis use with the recent legalization in Canada; however, little is known about how to effectively intervene when students violate school substance use policies. The purpose of this study is to assess the disciplinary approaches present in secondary schools prior to cannabis legalization and examine associations with youth cannabis use. This study used Year 6 (2017/2018) data from the COMPASS (…
Environmental Factors of Youth Milk and Milk Alternative Consumption
Objective: The objective of this research was to determine the school and community characteristics associated with milk and milk alternative (MMA) consumption by Canadian youth. Methods: We analyzed self-reported data from 50,058 Canadian students participating in the 2017-2018 wave of the COMPASS survey. We used logistic and linear regression analyses to identify school- and community-level factors associated with students meeting the MMA guide…
Trends in youth e-cigarette and cigarette use between 2013 and 2019
Consistent with data from the United States, the prevalence of e-cigarette use among our large sample of Canadian youth has increased substantially in a short period of time. Surveillance systems should continue to monitor the prevalence of tobacco use among youth. Additional interventions may be necessary to curb e-cigarette use among Canadian youth
