新闻媒体可以塑造公众对电子烟的看法，特别是在电子烟或蒸发产品使用相关肺损伤(EVALI)最近爆发的持续不确定性的背景下。这项研究旨在描述2019年发表的有关电子烟的新闻文章的特点，包括EVALI爆发之前和期间。使用24个与电子烟相关的搜索词，我们收集了2019年美国主要纸质和在线新闻来源发布的所有文章，这些文章来自数据库(即Factive，Access World News)和档案网站(即www.Newsppers.com)。我们对电子烟主题和声明进行了内容分析，找出了提到EVALI和没有提到EVALI的文章在主题上的差异。在2019年发布的1643篇电子烟新闻文章中，62%提到了EVALI。电子烟文章的使用频率在9月份达到高峰(n=532)，当时正值EVALI爆发的高峰期。在所有讨论电子烟的文章中，最普遍的主要话题是政策/法规(45%)和对健康的影响(35%)。提到EVALI的文章经常讨论青少年电子烟的使用(40%)和JUUL(33%)。与非EVALI文章相比，EVALI文章更有可能讨论对健康的影响(p<；.001)，但不太可能讨论政策/法规，除了口味禁令(47%的EVALI文章与非EVALI文章的39%，p=.002)。EVALI的文章也不太可能讨论电子烟比香烟风险更低(p=.005)。2019年电子烟新闻报道盛行，频率和内容模式反映了重大事件(即EVALI)。反过来，新闻媒体可以塑造公众对电子烟的看法，甚至是政策，必须继续受到监控。2019年电子烟的新闻覆盖率很高，这在很大程度上是由EVALI疫情的新闻报道推动的。事实上，9月份电子烟新闻文章的高峰期正好与美国EVALI病例的高峰期重合。值得注意的是，提到EVALI的文章经常讨论青年电子烟的使用、JUUL和香料禁令，这可能引发了国家和州一级的政策回应，并可能影响公众对电子烟危害的看法(包括误解)。
News media can shape public perceptions about e-cigarettes, particularly in the context of ongoing uncertainty from the recent outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). This study aimed to characterize news articles published about e-cigarettes in 2019, including before and during the EVALI outbreak. Using 24 e-cigarette-related search terms, we gathered all articles published in leading print and online U.S. news sources in 2019 from databases (i.e., Factiva, Access World News) and archival web sites (i.e., www.newspapers.com). We conducted a content analysis of e-cigarette themes and statements, identifying differences in themes between articles that did and did not mention EVALI. Of the 1643 e-cigarette news articles published in 2019, 62% mentioned EVALI. Frequency of e-cigarette articles peaked in September (n = 532) at the height of the EVALI outbreak. Among all articles discussing e-cigarettes, the most prevalent main topics were policy/regulation (45%) and health effects (35%). Articles that mentioned EVALI frequently discussed youth e-cigarette use (40%) and JUUL (33%). Compared to non-EVALI articles, EVALI articles were more likely to discuss health effects (p < .001) but less likely to discuss policies/regulations, except for flavor bans (47% of EVALI articles vs. 39% of non-EVALI articles, p = .002). EVALI articles were also less likely to discuss e-cigarettes being less risky than cigarettes (p = .005). E-cigarette news coverage was prevalent in 2019, and patterns in frequency and content reflected major events (i.e., EVALI). In turn, news media can shape public perceptions, and even policy, about e-cigarettes and must continue to be monitored. E-cigarette news coverage in 2019 was high, driven in large part by news coverage of the EVALI outbreak. Indeed, the peak in e-cigarette news articles in September directly coincided with the peak in EVALI cases in the United States. Of note, articles that mentioned EVALI frequently discussed youth e-cigarette use, JUUL, and flavor bans, which may have triggered national and state-level policy responses, and likely influenced public perceptions (including misperceptions) regarding the harms of e-cigarettes.
