目标:该研究描述了使用蒸发器的最常见原因(如电子烟)在美国青少年中的使用情况,并调查了使用原因如何因年级、终身吸烟、汽化器使用频率、性别、种族/民族和父母教育而不同。方法:作为监测未来研究的一部分,2015年从8年级、10年级和12年级的4066名学生中收集了数据,一项具有代表性的美国横断面调查。结果:曾经使用过蒸发器的受访者报告的蒸发器使用的常见原因是实验(53.0%)、品味(37.2%)、无聊(23.5%)、玩得开心(22.4%)和放松(21.6%)。不同年级或父母教育程度的原因差异不大;原因因终身使用普通香烟,vaping频率,性别和种族/ethnication.Conclusions而异:总体而言,结果表明,vape的决定是基于好奇心,品味和乐趣,而不是出于戒烟或取代常规吸烟等原因。(C)2016爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Objective: The study describes the most common reasons for using vaporizers (such as e-cigarettes) among US adolescents and investigates how reasons for use differ by grade, lifetime cigarette use, frequency of vaporizer use, gender, race/ethnicity, and parent education.Method: Data were collected from 4066 students in the 8th, 10th, and 12th grades in 2015 as part of the Monitoring the Future study, a cross-sectional and nationally representative US survey.Results: Common reasons for vaporizer use reported by respondents who had ever used a vaporizer were experimentation (53.0%), taste (37.2%), boredom (23.5%), having a good time (22.4%), and relaxation (21.6%). Reasons differed little across grades or parent education; reasons differed by lifetime use of regular cigarettes, frequency of vaping, gender, and race/ethnicity.Conclusions: Overall, results suggest that decisions to vape are based on curiosity, taste, and pleasure, rather than for reasons such as quitting regular cigarettes or substituting for regular cigarette smoking.
