导言：这项研究的目的是调查青少年对电子烟(电子烟)相关危害和好处的认知以及它们与使用电子烟的关联。方法：分析2017年佛罗里达州青年烟草调查的数据。研究对象为14-17岁的高中学生(n=22,884)。结果：不到一半的样本报告电子烟对他们的健康有害，不到三分之二的样本报告个人会对电子烟上瘾。与承诺的从不使用电子烟的人相比，易受影响的从不使用电子烟的人和所有电子烟使用群体报告电子烟对他们的健康有害的可能性较小，人们可能会对电子烟上瘾，而且其他人电子烟的烟雾是有害的。此外，易受影响的从不使用电子烟的用户和所有使用组更有可能报告说，与承诺从不使用电子烟的用户相比，戒烟更容易。易受影响的从不使用电子烟的人和所有使用电子烟的群体也更有可能感受到电子烟使用的好处，包括有更多的朋友，看起来更酷或更适合，在社交场合感觉更舒服，以及与承诺从不使用电子烟的人相比，压力缓解。结论：与承诺从不使用电子烟的人相比，易使用、正在使用或曾经使用电子烟的年轻人报告伤害的可能性较小，更有可能感受到与电子烟使用相关的好处。对于旨在减少青少年使用电子烟的干预措施来说，解决伤害和好处的看法可能很重要。(C)《2018美国预防医学杂志》。爱思唯尔公司出版，版权所有。
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine adolescent perceptions of harms and benefits associated with electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and their associations with use.Methods: Data from the 2016 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey were analyzed in 2017. Participants who were in high school aged 14-17 years were included (n=22,884). Logistic regression analyses were used to compare e-cigarette use groups on perceived harms and benefits of e-cigarettes.Results: Less than one half of the sample reported that e-cigarettes are harmful to their health and less than two thirds reported that individuals can get addicted to e-cigarettes. Compared with committed never users, susceptible never users and all e-cigarette use groups were less likely to report that e-cigarettes were harmful to their health, people can get addicted to e-cigarettes, and that smoke from others' e-cigarettes were harmful. Furthermore, susceptible never users and all use groups were more likely to report that it would be easy to quit using e-cigarettes than committed never users. Susceptible never users and all use groups were also more likely to perceive benefits of e-cigarette use including having more friends, looking cool or fitting in, feeling more comfortable in social situations, and stress relief compared with committed never users.Conclusions: Youth who are susceptible to use, currently use, or have used e-cigarettes are less likely to report harms and more likely to perceive benefits associated with e-cigarette use compared with committed never users. Addressing harm and benefit perceptions may be important for interventions designed to reduce e-cigarette use among adolescents. (C) 2018 American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
