电子设备的扩散，如电子烟笔，为大麻的使用提供了替代手段。研究发现，蒸发大麻(即使用电子烟笔)与较低的感知风险和较高的大麻使用量有关。了解这些产品可能会增加后续使用的可能性。随着大麻政策的转变，同龄人和家庭认可这种物质使用(禁令规范)的信念增加，年轻人(18-35岁)使用电子笔的人数有所增加；然而，其相关性仍不清楚。年轻人经常与大麻和酒精进行交叉物质使用，使酒精成为大麻蒸发笔使用和知识的潜在相关性。因此，我们在大学生样本中调查了酒精使用以及其他与使用电子笔和知识相关的潜在因素。这项二次数据分析利用了对美国多所大学的调查(n=270)。酒精使用、社交焦虑、对大麻的期望、禁止性和描述性规范以及冲动的各方面被检验为使用电子笔和知识的相关因素，使用双变量相关和Logistic回归。酒精使用与大麻、蒸汽笔的使用和知识相关。大麻使用频率、同伴禁令规范和积极预期与使用电子笔的可能性增加相关。缺乏预谋是冲动的一个方面，与大麻蒸发笔知识有关。鉴于大麻蒸发笔的性质和后果尚不清楚，目前的研究结果为这一行为的相关因素提供了宝贵的信息。此外，有关电子烟笔知识的关联可能指向需要进行教育和临床干预以防止大量使用大麻电子笔的领域。使用大麻越多，使用大麻蒸发笔的几率越高。使用蒸汽笔吸食大麻与饮酒有关。每天每喝一杯与使用大麻蒸气笔的可能性增加12倍有关。更高的大麻禁令规范和预期预示着大麻蒸发笔的使用。对大麻蒸发笔的了解与缺乏预谋有关。
The proliferation of electronic devices, such as vape-pens, has provided alternative means for cannabis use. Research has found cannabis-vaping (i.e., vape-pen use) is associated with lower perceived risks and higher cannabis use. Knowledge of these products may increase likelihood of subsequent use. As policies for cannabis shift, beliefs that peers and family approve of this substance use (injunctive norms) increase and there has been an increase in vape-pen use among young adults (18–35 year olds); however, correlates thereof remain unknown. Young adults often engage in cross-substance use with cannabis and alcohol, making alcohol a potential correlate of cannabis vape-pen use and knowledge. Therefore, we examined alcohol use and other potential correlates of vape-pen use and knowledge among a sample of university students. This secondary data analysis utilized surveys at multiple colleges in the U.S. (N = 270). Alcohol use, social anxiety, cannabis expectancies, injunctive and descriptive norms and facets of impulsivity were examined as correlates of vape-pen use and knowledge using bivariate correlations and logistic regressions. Alcohol use was correlated with cannabis vape-pen use and knowledge. Frequency of cannabis use, peer injunctive norms, and positive expectancies were associated with increased likelihood of vape-pen use. Lack of premeditation, a facet of impulsivity, was associated with cannabis vape-pen knowledge. Given the unknown nature and consequences of cannabis vape-pens, the present findings offer valuable information on correlates of this behavior. Further, correlates of knowledge of vape-pens may point to areas for education and clinical intervention to prevent heavy cannabis vape-pen use. More cannabis use was related to higher odds of cannabis vape-pen use. Vape-pen use for cannabis was related to alcohol use. Each drink per drinking day related to 12 times greater likelihood of cannabis vape-pen use. Higher cannabis injunctive norms and expectancies predicted cannabis vape-pen use. Knowledge of cannabis vape-pens was associated with lack of premeditation.
