目的：现有关于青少年电子烟和多物质使用的文献主要集中在大学生身上。这项研究利用一项全国调查的数据，调查了大学生和非大学生群体在电子烟和其他物质使用的流行程度和模式上的差异。参与者：来自2013-2014年烟草与健康人口评估研究的18-24岁成年人（n = 6608）。方法：采用独立样本t检验和卡方检验检验组间差异。结果：非大学年轻人吸烟、吸电子烟和吸食大麻的比例较高；大学生的酒精使用率更高。在当前的电子烟使用者中，大学生使用酒精和大麻的比例更高。大学生更多地将电子烟用于社交目的。结论：大学生和非大学生群体在电子烟和其他物质使用的流行程度和模式上存在差异。未来的干预应该针对大学生活的社会背景，并向工作场所的非大学年轻人伸出援手。
Objective: Existing literature on young adults' e-cigarette and polysubstance use focused on college students. This study examined the differences between college and noncollege groups on prevalence and patterns of e-cigarette and other substance use using data from a national survey. Participants: Adults aged 18-24 from the 2013-2014 Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (n = 6,608). Methods: Independent sample t-tests and Chi-square tests were conducted to examine group differences. Results: Noncollege young adults had higher prevalence of cigarette, e-cigarette, and marijuana use; college students had higher prevalence of alcohol use. Among current e-cigarette users, college students had higher prevalence of polysubstance use of alcohol and marijuana. College students used e-cigarettes for socializing purposes more. Conclusions: Differences in prevalence and patterns of e-cigarette and other substance use between college and noncollege groups exist. Future interventions should target the social context of college life and reach out to noncollege young adults in workplaces.
