The current study describes and explains how communication surrounding vaping shapes different aspects of a college student's identity.Participants: Twenty-seven male and female college students at a large Midwestern university were recruited to participate in five focus groups.Methods: Focus group findings were interpreted through the lens of the communication theory of identity.Results: College students' communication of identity was manifest in the personalization of vaping devices, selling vaping devices as a relational activity, the social aspects of vaping addiction, the facetious language surrounding vaping, and perceptions of vaping tricks as \"cringe.\"Conclusions: The findings revealed narrow perceptions of acceptable identities for users of vaping devices. Participants avoided labels of \"being addicted\" and leveraged discursive strategies such as humor, facetious language, othering, and re-framing behavior to fit a desirable identity.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study also examined whether in-person or computer mediated social support (CMSS) is a better predictor of acculturative stress which might influence mental health of international students. Methods: An online survey was conducted among 179 international students across three U.S. universities. Results: Results showed that international students perceive stronger online social ties compared to in-person social ties, t(125)=- 3.57, p < .001. Stronger ties with CMSS significantly negatively influence acculturative stress compared to in-person social support for international students, (b = -0.24, 95% CI [-0.45, -0.03]). This indicates that as CMSS increases, acculturative stress decreases among international students. Conclusions: This study concludes that online social support groups can positively influence mental health of college student populations, particularly those who feel stressed out.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants: Undergraduates (N = 300). Methods: Participants reported their drinking frequency, quantity, and parental alcohol use, and evaluated tipping points by assessing how many drinks over the course of how many days they would perceive as problematic alcohol use in an online survey. Results: Participants, on average, reported lower tipping points indicative of problematic drinking behaviors for themselves, as compared to their peers. Results also revealed that quantity of alcohol consumption as well as parental alcohol use and participant age contributed to determining problematic consumption tipping points. Conclusions: Considerations should be given to how these tipping point judgments may affect drinking behaviors.

Methods: The current quantitative study examined perceptions of food pantry stigma among food insecure college students (n = 93) who have accessed food pantry services. Results: Results reveal moderate levels of food pantry stigma with no statistically significant differences in food pantry stigma scores by level of food security (p = .322) and frequency of food pantry use (p = .263). Few participants indicated perceptions of social stigma, yet mixed results were observed regarding self-stigma.
