Abstract

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also known as e-cigarettes, are the most commonly used tobacco products among young adults in the United States. Young adults in rural areas have a higher prevalence of ENDS use compared to their urban counterparts, yet there is limited evidence regarding the in-depth understanding of experiences and perspectives directly from young adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore individual experiences and perspectives about use and cessation of ENDS from young adults in rural areas.

Methods: This was a qualitative study using interpretive description for analysis. Young adults (18-24 years) who used ENDS every day but not other tobacco products (cigarettes, smokeless, etc.) in the past month and had an address in a rural county of Wisconsin were eligible; there were nine participants interviewed using Zoom. Interview questions focused on initial use, maintenance of use, experiences of quitting, and social and rural environmental contexts regarding ENDS.

Results: Three themes emerged with eight categories: (a) addiction to ENDS and health, (b) cessation and resources, and (c) rural environment and culture in ENDS addiction.

Discussion: Findings have implications for ENDS cessation interventions targeting young adults in rural areas.

农村社区年轻人停止电子烟的经验和看法。

背景：电子尼古丁输送系统，也称为电子烟，是美国年轻人最常用的烟草产品。与城市年轻人相比，农村地区的年轻人使用ENDS的流行率更高，但关于直接从年轻人那里深入了解经验和观点的证据有限。目的：探讨农村地区年轻人使用和停止电子尼古丁输送系统的个人经验和观点。方法：这是一项使用解释性描述进行分析的定性研究。在过去一个月里，每天使用电子尼古丁输送系统但不使用其他烟草产品（香烟、无烟等），并且地址在威斯康星州农村县的年轻人（18-24岁）符合条件；有九名参与者使用Zoom进行了访谈。访谈问题集中于电子尼古丁输送系统的初始使用、使用的维持、戒烟经历以及社会和农村环境背景。结果：出现了三个主题，分为八类：（1）对电子尼古丁输送系统的成瘾与健康；（2）停止和资源；以及（3）电子尼古丁输送系统成瘾的农村环境和文化。讨论：研究结果对针对农村地区YA的电子尼古丁输送系统戒烟干预措施具有启示意义。
