Abstract

Objective: To examine the association between peer use and individual use of EC among adolescents and young adults.

Methods: We performed the search strategy on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane. We selected prospective studies reporting adjusted odds ratio (aOR)/relative risk (aRR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and conducted a random-effects meta-analysis.

Result: Eleven prospective studies were included, involving 32,014 participants in the quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis results showed a significant association between EC use by friends and increased odds of individual EC use (aOR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.43 to 2.25; I2 = 88.2% for ever use; aOR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.52 to 3.01; I2 = 88.5% for current use). In the subgroup meta-analysis of outcomes, having friends who used EC significantly increased the odds of ever- and current EC use. Similar findings were found in the subgroup meta-analyses by age group, region, sample size, study methodological quality, and follow-up time.

Conclusion: This study revealed a positive association between individual EC use and friends' use, especially among those under 18 years, suggesting targeting peer networks to curb the EC epidemic.

青少年和年轻人的同伴影响和电子烟的使用:前瞻性研究的荟萃分析。
目的:探讨青少年和青壮年同伴使用电子烟和个人使用电子烟的关系。方法:我们在PubMed, EMBASE和Cochrane上执行搜索策略。我们选择了报告校正优势比(aOR)/相对风险(aRR)为95%置信区间(CI)的前瞻性研究,并进行了随机效应荟萃分析。结果:纳入11项前瞻性研究,涉及32014名受试者进行定量分析。荟萃分析结果显示,朋友使用EC与个人使用EC的几率增加之间存在显著关联(aOR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.43至2.25;I2 = 88.2%永远使用;aOR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.52 ~ 3.01;I2 = 88.5%(当前使用)。在结果的亚组荟萃分析中,有朋友使用EC显着增加了曾经和当前使用EC的几率。在按年龄组、地区、样本量、研究方法学质量和随访时间进行的亚组荟萃分析中也发现了类似的结果。结论:本研究揭示了个人使用电子烟与朋友使用电子烟之间的正相关关系,特别是在18岁以下的人群中,建议针对同伴网络来遏制电子烟的流行。

期刊介绍: Cancer is a very complex disease. While many aspects of carcinoge-nesis and oncogenesis are known, cancer control and prevention at the community level is however still in its infancy. Much more work needs to be done and many more steps need to be taken before effective strategies are developed. The multidisciplinary approaches and efforts to understand and control cancer in an effective and efficient manner, require highly trained scientists in all branches of the cancer sciences, from cellular and molecular aspects to patient care and palliation. The Asia Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP) and its official publication, the Asia Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (APJCP), have served the community of cancer scientists very well and intends to continue to serve in this capacity to the best of its abilities. One of the objectives of the APOCP is to provide all relevant and current scientific information on the whole spectrum of cancer sciences. They aim to do this by providing a forum for communication and propagation of original and innovative research findings that have relevance to understanding the etiology, progression, treatment, and survival of patients, through their journal. The APJCP with its distinguished, diverse, and Asia-wide team of editors, reviewers, and readers, ensure the highest standards of research communication within the cancer sciences community across Asia as well as globally. The APJCP publishes original research results under the following categories: -Epidemiology, detection and screening. -Cellular research and bio-markers. -Identification of bio-targets and agents with novel mechanisms of action. -Optimal clinical use of existing anti-cancer agents, including combination therapies. -Radiation and surgery. -Palliative care. -Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction. -Health economic evaluations.
