背景资料：青少年使用大麻和烟草之间的正相关性已经得到确认，报告显示，一些青少年正在使用电子蒸汽产品（EVP）来管理大麻。本研究探讨的流行率和相关的青年消费大麻通过EVP和如何比较大麻与雪茄（钝）在一个大的全州范围内的样本youth.Methods：我们使用的数据从佛罗里达青年烟草调查（FYTS），以学校为基础的，纸和纸张问卷给佛罗里达初中和高中学生（N = 12,320）。我们进行了加权描述性分析和Logistic回归检查EVP/大麻和钝use.Results的患病率和相关性：曾经EVP/大麻的使用是中学生（3.4%）比高中生（11.5%）。据报告，6.0%的中学生和24.1%的高中生使用钝性毒品。大约三分之一的青年，谁曾经通过任何一种模式管理大麻报告使用EVP/大麻和钝头。EVP/大麻和钝性使用都与较低的学校表现和使用其他烟草制品有关。EVP/大麻的使用没有不同的种族/民族，但钝使用黑人和西班牙裔青年高于白色，非西班牙裔youth.Discussion：一个相当大的比例在全州范围内的样本青年使用EVP和钝管理大麻，这些使用模式之间的重叠是常见的。EVP/大麻和钝性使用的人口统计学风险特征的差异表明，EVP可能提供一种新的给药途径，用于提供大麻，吸引那些不容易通过钝性使用大麻的群体。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Background: The positive association between youth use of cannabis and tobacco is well-established, and reports show that some youth are using electronic vapor products (EVPs) to administer cannabis. This study examines the prevalence and correlates of youth consumption of cannabis via EVP and how this compares with co-use of cannabis with cigars (blunts) among a large statewide sample of youth.Methods: We used data from the Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS), a school-based, pencil-and-paper questionnaire given to Florida middle and high school students (N = 12,320). We conducted weighted descriptive analyses and logistic regressions examining prevalence and correlates of EVP/cannabis and blunt use.Results: Ever EVP/cannabis use was lower among middle school students (3.4%) than high school students (11.5%). Blunt use was reported by 6.0% of middle school and 24.1% of high school students. Approximately one-third of youth, who had ever administered cannabis via either mode reported using both EVP/cannabis and blunts. EVP/cannabis and blunt use were both associated with lower school performance and use of other tobacco products. EVP/cannabis use did not vary by race/ethnicity, but blunt use was higher among black and Hispanic youth than white, non-Hispanic youth.Discussion: A substantial percentage of youth in a statewide sample are using EVPs and blunts to administer cannabis, and overlap between these use patterns is common. Differences in the demographic risk profile for EVP/cannabis and blunt use suggest that EVPs may provide a novel route of administration for delivering cannabis that appeals to groups not otherwise susceptible to using cannabis via blunts.
