Abstract

Objective. This study examines whether adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping types (i.e., nicotine-only, cannabis-only, and dual use) differ across sociodemographic and school characteristics (e.g., age, gender, sexual identity, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status [SES], school setting/type), and associations of vaping types with psychosocial factors. Methods. From 2021 to 2022, 9th and 10th grade adolescents (N = 2,476) in Colorado and Ohio participated in a survey measuring vaping behaviors and psychosocial factors including substance use attitudes, alcohol use, mental health, aggression, and family and school risk and protective factors. Results. Past month vaping prevalence was 89.7 % for non-use, 5.9 % for nicotine-only, 1.0 % for cannabis-only, and 3.4 % for dual use. Chi-square tests of independence showed several significant sociodemographic differences for past month vaping: higher nicotine-only vaping prevalence for females (vs. males) (p < 0.001), higher nicotine-only and dual vaping prevalence for LGB+ (vs. heterosexual) youth (ps < 0.01), higher dual vaping prevalence for Hispanic and multiethnic (vs. White) adolescents (p < 0.001), and higher nicotine-only, cannabis-only, and dual vaping prevalence for lower (vs. higher) mother education (ps < 0.001). Regression models examining associations between vaping types (vs. non-use) and psychosocial factors indicated a robust pattern of worse levels of substance use attitudes, alcohol use, mental health, aggression, and family and school factors for nicotine-only and dual users. Results followed a similar pattern but to a lesser degree for cannabis-only users. Conclusions. Findings identify characteristics of adolescents who may be particularly vulnerable to higher vaping risk (females, LGB+, Hispanic, multiethnic, low SES) and suggest needs for preventive interventions aimed to reduce all types of vaping for better adolescent behavioral health.

高中早期青少年吸食尼古丁和大麻：不同社会人口特征的使用差异及其与社会心理因素的关联

目标。本研究考察了青少年尼古丁和大麻电子烟类型（即纯尼古丁、纯大麻和双重用途）是否因社会人口统计学和学校特征（如年龄、性别、性别认同、种族/民族、社会经济地位[SES]、学校环境/类型）以及电子烟类型与社会心理因素的关联而有所不同。方法。从2021年到2022年，科罗拉多州和俄亥俄州的9年级和10年级青少年（N = 2476）参加了一项调查，测量了电子烟行为和心理社会因素，包括物质使用态度、酒精使用、心理健康、攻击、家庭和学校的风险和保护因素。结果。上个月，不使用电子烟的患病率为89.7%，仅使用尼古丁的患病率为5.9%，仅使用大麻的患病率为1.0%，双重使用的患病率为3.4%。卡方独立性检验显示了过去一个月吸电子烟的几个显著的社会人口统计学差异：女性吸尼古丁电子烟的比例（与男性相比）更高（p p p p）。研究结果确定了青少年可能特别容易受到更高电子烟风险的特征（女性、LGB+、西班牙裔、多种族、低社会地位），并建议需要采取预防性干预措施，旨在减少所有类型的电子烟，以改善青少年的行为健康。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors. The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research. The emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. We are particularly interested in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research. Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged. We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
