Unmet Healthcare Needs as a Mechanism of Rural–Urban Medical Cannabis Use Disparities Among Sexual Minority Young Adults
Rural–urban movement and stability in relation to minority stress‐related factors, tobacco norms, and tobacco use among a sample of US sexual minority‐identifying young adults
PURPOSE: Sexual minority young adults (SMYAs) residing in rural (vs. urban) areas report higher tobacco use rates. Less work has assessed associations of rural-urban residential movement/stability with SMYAs' tobacco use and factors driving these associations. METHODS: We analyzed 2023 survey data from 1082 US SMYAs (aged 18-34). Multivariable regressions controlling for sociodemographics examined associations of: (1) rural-urban movement/stabili…

The Sexual Double Standard and Condom Use: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior
The sexual double standard (SDS) is the phenomenon whereby women are derogated, and men are rewarded, for identical sexual behaviors. SDS endorsement may affect behaviors related to sexual health. The current study examined the relationship between SDS endorsement and intentions to use condoms, utilizing the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a framework. Five hundred and six heterosexual undergraduate students (77.9% female; Age M = 20.47, SD =…
Mitigating fraud in a fully decentralized clinical trial of a digital health intervention
BACKGROUND: Decentralized clinical trials (DCT), digital survey methodologies, and health monitoring technologies create the potential to reduce study participant burden as well as enhance sample diversity and enrollment pace. However, fraudulent participant activity poses a significant threat to study validity and data integrity. PURPOSE: This study quantifies fraudulent attempts at participation in a DCT of a mobile mental health intervention f…
Unmet Healthcare Needs and Medical Cannabis Use Among Sexual and Gender Minoritized Adults in a High-Stigma Environment
Sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) individuals in high-stigma areas may use cannabis to cope with unmet healthcare needs and elevated stress. Adults in Oklahoma (Mage = 43.9[SD = 16.8], 54.5% female, 71.4% non-Hispanic White) completed a cross-sectional survey (August-September 2022). Logistic regression examined the association of SGM identity (SGM or non-SGM) with past-year unmet healthcare need (yes/no). Logistic and linear regressions also e…
Do Smartphone Apps Impact Long-Term Smoking Cessation for Sexual and Gender Minority Adults? Exploratory Results from a 2-Arm Randomized Trial Comparing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Standard…
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults face unique challenges in accessing smoking cessation care due to stigma tied to their identities and smoking. While cessation apps show promise in the general population, their efficacy for SGM adults is unclear. This study utilized data from a randomized trial to compare two cessation apps, iCanQuit (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based) and QuitGuide (US Clinical Practice Guidelines-based) among 403 S…
Adolescents’ perceptions of nicotine vaping-related social media content
“Do all bisexuals have this power?”: An exploratory study of “crippling nicotine addiction,” identity, and other emergent themes in vaping messages on QueerTok
Nicotine and tobacco use disproportionally affect sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations in the US. Social media narratives may contribute to these disparities. This qualitative study delineated perceptions and experiences depicted in SGM-related messaging about nicotine vaping on TikTok. Young adult researchers engaged in every step of the research process, adding an insider perspective. Using four TikTok accounts, we used vaping and SGM-r…
Effects of exposure to snus marketing with versus without modified risk tobacco product claims on snus use intention and perceived harm among young adults
Although some young adults who vape or smoke may have snus use intentions, snus MRTP claims might not affect young adults' snus use intentions, regardless of whether they vape/smoke. MRTP claims might modestly increase the accuracy of perceived harms of snus relative to cigarettes while also slightly causing unsubstantiated perceptions of lower harm than e-cigarettes
US adolescents’ response to nicotine warning labels in influencer e-cigarette marketing social media posts: A survey-based randomised between-subject experiment
Alterations of the required nicotine warning labels can make them less effective in deterring e-cigarette use behaviour. Tobacco control authorities could increase enforcement of the FDA-required nicotine warning labels and harness influencers for antitobacco messaging
Differences by Emotion Regulation in the Association Between Discrimination and Tobacco Use Among Sexual Minority Young Adults
Little research has examined factors, such as emotion regulation strategies, that amplify or mitigate associations between discrimination and tobacco use among sexual minority young adults (SMYAs). SM-identifying YA (ages 18-34) women (N = 450; Mage = 24.11; 31.1% racial or ethnic minority) and men (N = 254; Mage = 24.68; 28.0% racial or ethnic minority) residing in 6 US metropolitan areas were surveyed. Bivariate analyses examined associations o…
Dose–response effects of two nicotine salt formulations on electronic cigarette appeal and sensory attributes

Effects of flavour and modified risk claims on nicotine pouch perceptions and use intentions among young adults who use inhalable nicotine and tobacco products: A randomised controlled trial
Flavoured (vs smooth) pouches were more appealing to YAs. MRTP claims reduced perceived harm of pouches compared with cigarettes; however, intentions to switch were low. To protect YAs' health, regulatory restrictions could target flavours and MRTP claims
Physical activity and stress management during Covid-19: A longitudinal survey study
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) during COVID-19 shelter-in-place (SIP) may offset stress. This study examined associations between PA, stress and stress management strategies during SIP. DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: = 990) from a cohort of Northern California adults completed surveys during early SIP (3/23/20-4/2/20) and mid-SIP (4/24/20-5/8/20). Participants self-reported past-month PA (meeting vs. not meeting guidelines), changes in stre…
Differences in Young Adults’ Perceptions of and Willingness to Use Nicotine Pouches by Tobacco Use Status
Oral nicotine pouches may appeal to young adult current nicotine/tobacco users interested in alternative forms of nicotine that lack pulmonary exposure, but may also appeal to young adult non-users of nicotine/tobacco products. We used data from a 2020 remote digital survey of an ongoing cohort study of young adults from Southern California (aged 19-23) to examine differences in pouch perceptions and use willingness across nicotine/tobacco use st…
Effects of Social Media on Adolescents’ Willingness and Intention to Use E-Cigarettes: An Experimental Investigation
INTRODUCTION: This study examined the effects of experimentally manipulated social media exposure on adolescents' willingness and intention to use e-cigarettes. AIMS AND METHODS: Participants were 135 adolescents of age 13-18 (52.6% female, mean age = 15.3) in California. Participants viewed six social media posts online in a 2 (post source: peer or advertisement) × 2 (e-cigarette content exposure: heavy or light) between-subjects design. Analyse…
Perceived Susceptibility to and Seriousness of Covid-19: Associations of Risk Perceptions with Changes in Smoking Behavior
During the COVID-19 pandemic, studies have documented increased and decreased cigarette smoking among adults. Individual differences in the perceived susceptibility and seriousness of the virus, for people who smoke in general and for oneself personally, may relate to changes in smoking. Using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a theoretical framework, we examined associations with self-reported increasing and decreasing smoking a lot during the CO…
Occupying multiple stigmatized identities: Smoking and unemployment stigmas among the unemployed
Stigma - which involves stereotyping, discrimination, and status loss - is a central driver of morbidity and mortality. Given the de-normalization of smoking and the status loss of unemployment, unemployed individuals who smoke may occupy multiple stigmatized identities. As such, this study examined aspects and correlates of smoking and unemployment stigmas among unemployed job-seekers who smoke. Adult job-seekers who smoke tobacco (N = 360) were…
Comparing comparisons: Assimilation and contrast processes and outcomes following social and temporal comparison
The present research examines similarities and differences between social and temporal comparison processes in a health-related context. In two studies, participants were randomly assigned to write about an upward or downward, social or temporal comparison target. Participants then reported their perceived similarity to the target and evaluated their own fitness. Consistent with hypotheses, participants who perceived themselves as similar (dissim…
Measuring e-cigarette addiction among adolescents
Adolescents' reports of frequency of e-cigarette use and degree of addiction correlated significantly with cotinine as a biomarker of nicotine exposure. We recommend the EASI and days per month as brief general measures. SPM and the ECDI are more extensive measures that may yield a more nuanced understanding of use
Comparative Optimism and Event Skewness
Comparative judgment biases—wherein a majority of people report being above‐ or below‐average in their abilities, traits, or future events—are a robust phenomenon in psychology. A recent explanation for these biases has focused on people's awareness that many comparative judgment domains form skewed distributions, and, hence, a majority of people can feasibly be above or below average. Indeed, this prior research found that comparative biases for…
