| description | Background
Few studies have compared the psychosocial risk profiles for youth who
begin using tobacco with e-cigarettes only, cigarettes only, or both of these
products.
Methods
More than 40 known psychosocial risk factors for youth tobacco use,
including intra-personal (e.g., sensation seeking), inter-personal (e.g., peer
influence), and environmental (e.g., tobacco marketing) factors were compared
between those who started with e-cigarettes only (n=156, N=14550), cigarettes
only (n=59, N=7325), or both of these products (n=35, N=3510). Psychosocial risk factors were measured at
baseline (2014-15) and tobacco use behaviors at 6, 12, and 18 month follow-ups (2015-16)
in a population-based sample (n) of 3,116 students in 4 large urban areas of Texas
that generalizes back to 353,552 students (N) who were in the 6 th , 8 th ,
and 10 th grades and had never used tobacco at baseline.
Results
Youth who started with cigarettes only or both, compared to youth who started with e-cigarettes only, were more
likely to have a family member that used cigarettes or e-cigarettes (p< 0.01)
and be past 30-day marijuana users (p=0.01) at baseline. Youth who started with e-cigarettes only,
compared with the others, reported a higher positive affect (p=0.01) and lower
negative affect at baseline (p=0.01) and were more likely to have positive
outcome expectations about tobacco use (e.g., it helps me concentrate; p=0.05)
and be past 30-day alcohol users (p=0.05) at baseline. Youth who started with both products, compared
to one exclusively, were more likely to have engaged with tobacco-related
content on digital media (e.g., posted pictures, blogged) (p< 0.05) and less
likely to report seeing displays for cigarettes at retail point-of-sale
(p< 0.01) at baseline. No other
differences in known risk factors (e.g., sensation seeking) were observed.
Conclusions
Psychosocial risk profiles do vary significantly by starter tobacco
products. Implications for intervention will be discussed. |
