PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Youth are using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) at a rapidly increasing rate [1, 2]. Unfortunately, there is a lack of scientific knowledge regarding why e-cigarettes are appealing to youth, the effects of e- cigarette use, and how e-cigarette marketing is influencing adolescents' beliefs, intentions, and willingness to use these novel tobacco products. Since e-cigarettes are unregulated, a generation of adolescents who have never seen cigarettes being widely promoted are currently being exposed to e-cigarette marketing across a wide variety of mediums. As the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moves to regulate e-cigarettes, critical gaps in the research literature regarding the impact of e-cigarette marketing, access to products, and initiation and use are hindering policy makers. Study aims are to: (1) Examine prevalence of lifetime use and patterns of current use of e-cigarettes among middle school students (ages 11-14) across a school year; (2) Assess concurrent and prospective factors related to initiation and use of e-cigarettes among middle school students, including perceptions of risk, social images of users, motives for using, intentions and willingness to use, access to products, and exposure to marketing; and (3) Explore associations between e-cigarette initiation and co-use or willingness and intentions to use other tobacco products as well as symptoms of dependence on nicotine as a result of using e-cigarettes. Additional factors shown to be related to adolescent tobacco use, such as race/ethnicity and level of acculturation, will also be considered in order to provide a comparison between e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco products. To accomplish our aims, we will conduct two longitudinal school-based surveys across a school year (Fall and Spring) in two middle schools (N = 1,150; half Hispanic). Based on information obtained in the school surveys, we will select a subsample of e-cigarette users (N = 60) for in-depth interviews, to gather additional information on the contexts surrounding e-cigarette use, to obtain sequential details of co-use with other tobacco products, and to delve more deeply into the appeal and motivations to use e-cigarettes in this population. This project will directly contribute to the currently sparse body of research on e-cigarettes and youth, guide future e-cigarette regulation by the FDA, and provide information that can assist in the development of counter-marketing strategies targeting youth as well as strategies to limit minors' access to e-cigarettes. It will also contribute to models of adolescent risk taking and novel tobacco use.

项目总结/摘要 年轻人使用电子烟（电子烟）的速度迅速增加[1，2]。不幸的是， 关于为什么电子烟对年轻人有吸引力，电子烟的影响， 香烟使用，以及电子烟营销如何影响青少年的信念，意图和意愿， 使用这些新型烟草产品。由于电子烟是不受管制的，一代青少年谁拥有 从未见过的香烟正在广泛推广，目前正在广泛接触电子烟营销 各种媒介。随着美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）采取行动规范电子烟， 在关于电子烟营销的影响，获得产品，和启动和 这阻碍了政策制定者。 研究目的是：（1）检查电子烟的终身使用率和当前使用模式 在一个学年的中学生（11-14岁）中;（2）评估并发和前瞻性因素 与中学生开始和使用电子烟有关，包括对风险，社会 用户的形象，使用的动机，意图和意愿，使用产品，接触 营销;（3）探索电子烟启动和共同使用或意愿和意图之间的关联 使用其他烟草产品以及使用电子烟导致的尼古丁依赖症状。 与青少年吸烟有关的其他因素，如种族/民族和吸烟水平， 文化适应，也将被考虑，以提供电子烟和传统香烟之间的比较， 烟草制品. 为达致上述目的，我们会在一个学年内进行两次校本纵向调查 (Fall和春天）在两所中学（N = 1,150;一半西班牙裔）。根据在学校获得的信息， 调查中，我们将选择电子烟使用者的子样本（N = 60）进行深入访谈，以收集更多信息。 关于电子烟使用的背景信息，以获得与其他人共同使用的顺序细节。 烟草产品，并更深入地研究在这一领域使用电子烟的吸引力和动机， 人口 该项目将直接促进目前关于电子烟和青年的研究， 指导FDA未来的电子烟法规，并提供有助于发展的信息。 针对青少年的反营销战略以及限制未成年人接触电子烟的战略。它将 还有助于青少年冒险和新烟草使用的模式。
