目的:我们研究了青少年非使用者,仅使用香烟,仅使用电子烟以及电子烟和香烟双重使用者的特征差异。研究方法:使用加权的代表性数据,进行逻辑回归分析,以检查不同烟草使用组的人口统计学特征和烟草使用行为的差异。进行了多元线性回归分析,以检查烟草使用组对各种烟草产品的危害认知和对电子烟使用的感知。结果:与不使用者相比,双重使用者更可能是白色、男性和高中生。双重使用者目前使用所有产品(水烟除外)的流行率显著高于仅使用电子烟的使用者,目前使用鼻烟和水烟的流行率高于仅使用电子烟的使用者。与仅使用电子烟的用户相比,双重使用者对所有烟草产品的危害感知显着降低,但电子烟和水烟除外。双用户报告较高的同行使用香烟相比,这两个独家用户组。结论:研究结果强调,双重使用者使用大多数其他烟草产品的流行率较高,与仅使用电子烟的用户相比,他们对大多数烟草产品的危害感知较低,与独家使用者相比,他们对香烟的感知更高。
Objectives: We examined differences in the characteristics of youth non-users, cigarette-only, e-cigarette-only, and dual e-cigarette and cigarette users. Methods: Using weighted, representative data, logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine differences in demographic characteristics and tobacco use behaviors across tobacco usage groups. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine differences in harm perceptions of various tobacco products and perceived peer use of e-cigarettes by tobacco usage group. Results: Compared to non-users, dual users were more likely to be white, male, and high school students. Dual users had significantly higher prevalence of current use of all products (except hookah) than e-cigarette-only users, and higher prevalence of current use of snus and hookah than the cigaretteonly group. Dual users had significantly lower harm perceptions for all tobacco products except for e-cigarettes and hookah as compared to e-cigarette-only users. Dual users reported higher peer use of cigarettes as compared to both exclusive user groups. Conclusion: Findings highlight dual users' higher prevalence of use of most other tobacco products, their lower harm perceptions of most tobacco products compared to e-cigarette-only users, and their higher perceived peer use of cigarettes compared to exclusive users.
