目的：该研究的目的是描述年轻人对不同品牌的豆荚电子烟（电子烟）的使用和看法，并与早期类型的非豆荚电子烟（例如mods和tanks）进行比较。方法：数据收集于2019年1月至3月，来自2013-2014年招募的一项队列研究的最后一波，使用来自加州10所种族/民族和社会经济多样化人口的大型高中的方便样本。共有445名参与者完成了在线调查（平均年龄为20.1岁[SD = 1.66]， 64.8%为女性[n = 278]， 38.8%为白人[n = 161]， 23.9%为亚洲人和“不止一个种族”[n = 99]， 13.5%为其他种族[n = 56]， 36.9%为西班牙裔[n = 160]）。主要结果是使用豆荚的描述和原因、感知到的尼古丁含量和使用模式。结果：虽然25%的人报告使用过JUUL。同样，50%的JUUL用户也这样做了。大多数人（58%）同意使用吊舱的原因是它们“容易隐藏”。大约一半的电子烟使用者“不知道”他们是否把不同品牌的电子烟和电子烟混合在一起，也不知道电子烟中尼古丁的浓度，也不知道吸完一盒烟的时间。在50%的共享pod的参与者中，23人（15%）“有时”，20人（13%）“总是”，16人（各占11%）“大约一半时间”或“经常”。对于如何称呼不同品牌的豆荚，没有达成共识。结论：我们的研究结果表明，年轻人对以豆荚为基础的电子烟存在困惑，包括尼古丁含量、使用模式和标签，而豆荚的使用很大程度上是因为他们可以轻松地“隐形”吸电子烟。研究结果表明，需要对这些产品进行监管和教育。(C) 2020青少年健康和医学学会。版权所有。
Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe young adult use and perceptions of different brands of pod-based electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and compare with earlier types of non-pod-based e-cigarettes (e.g., mods and tanks).Methods: Data were collected from January to March 2019 and derive from the final wave of a cohort study recruited in 2013-2014 using a convenience sample from 10 large California high schools with racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse populations. A total of 445 participants completed an online survey (mean age = 20.1 years [SD = 1.66], 64.8% female [n = 278], 38.8% white [n = 161], 23.9% each for Asian and "more than one race" [n = 99], 13.5% other [n = 56], and 36.9% Hispanic [n = 160]). The main outcomes were description of and reasons to use pods, perceived nicotine content, and use patterns.Results: Although 25% reported ever use of JUUL. Similarly, 50% of JUUL ever users did. The most agreed upon reason (58%) for using pods was because they are "easy to hide." About half of pod users "do not know" if they mix brands of e-juice and pods, the nicotine concentration in their e-juice cartridges, nor time to finish a cartridge. Of the 50% of participants who shared their pod, 23 (15%) did "sometimes," 20 (13%) "always," and 16 (11% each) "about half the time" or "often." There was no consensus about how to refer to different brands of pods.Conclusions: Our findings indicate young adults harbor confusion about pod-based e-cigarettes, including nicotine content, usage patterns, and labeling, and that pod use is largely because of the ease with which they can "stealth" vape. The findings suggest needed regulation and education about these products. (C) 2020 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. All rights reserved.
