PROJECT SUMMARY There is a growing marketplace for e-cigarettes and legal cannabis vaping products that appeal to adolescents. Adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping is prevalent, co-use of nicotine and cannabis vaping is common, and many youth purchase vaping products from physical retailers (e.g., vape shops and dispensaries). Greater density of tobacco and cannabis retailers around adolescents’ homes and schools may influence youth vaping initiation and dependence via increased access and exposure to marketing. Nicotine and cannabis vaping are intertwined, and the tobacco retail environment may influence youth cannabis vaping, and vice-versa. However, few studies have examined the effect of retailer density on youth nicotine and cannabis vaping, including whether tobacco retail density influences cannabis vaping, and whether cannabis dispensary density influences nicotine vaping. Data are also lacking on whether the impact of retailer density on youth cannabis and nicotine vaping is disproportionately higher among those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, leading to disparities in cannabis and tobacco use. The goal of this Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award is to investigate the impact of the tobacco and cannabis retail environment and neighborhood disadvantage on adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping, and to provide new training to prepare me for a career as an independent investigator with a focus on tobacco and cannabis regulatory science, and the ability to secure R01-level funding. I will use four years of data from an ongoing prospective cohort study of high school students in Southern CA (N~4,000), alongside data on licensed and unlicensed tobacco retailers and cannabis dispensaries, and census-block measures of neighborhood disadvantage to evaluate the project aims: (Aim 1) to examine the association of tobacco retailer and cannabis dispensary density with adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping; (Aim 2) to assess the moderating role of individual- and neighborhood-disadvantage on the association of tobacco retailer and cannabis dispensary density with adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping; and (Aim 3) to collect new data through in-depth store observations in a geographic subsample to identify specific store characteristics (e.g., marketing, minimum-age verification, product availability) that contribute to adolescent nicotine and cannabis vaping. Findings will provide critically needed information to policymakers considering new regulations that protect the public health of youth. This work will also inform future research on additional dimensions of tobacco and cannabis policies (e.g., home deliveries, pricing) and their impact on youth tobacco and cannabis use on a national level. This K01 leverages my existing expertise and addresses critical gaps in my training by providing new training in: 1) cannabis regulatory science; 2) socioecological determinants of youth tobacco and cannabis use; and 3) spatial analysis. I have worked closely with my mentors (selected based on their expertise in each training area) to develop an ambitious but feasible training plan that incorporates expert mentoring, coursework and seminars, scientific meetings, and continued development of grant writing and research dissemination skills.

项目摘要 在青少年看来，电子烟和合法的大麻蒸发产品的市场不断增长。 青春期尼古丁和大麻蒸发很普遍，尼古丁和大麻蒸发的共同使用是常见的，并且 许多青年从实体零售商（例如vape商店和药房）购买vap烟产品。更大 青少年家园和学校周围的烟草和大麻零售商的密度可能影响青年 启动和依赖性通过增加访问和对营销的影响。尼古丁和大麻蒸发是 交织在一起，烟草零售环境可能会影响青少年大麻烟，反之亦然。然而， 很少有研究检查零售商密度对青年尼古丁和大麻烟的影响，包括是否是否是否涉及 烟草零售密度会影响大麻蒸气，以及大麻药房密度是否影响尼古丁 烟。还缺乏数据，即零售商密度对青少年大麻和尼古丁烟的影响是否 在处于不利地位的社区中，不成比例的高度，导致大麻差异 和烟草使用。这个受过指导的研究科学家职业发展奖的目标是调查 烟草和大麻零售环境和邻里灾难对青春期尼古丁的影响 和大麻蒸发，并提供新的培训，使我为我的职业做好准备 专注于烟草和大麻监管科学，以及获得R01级资金的能力。我将使用四个 来自正在进行的前瞻性队列研究的多年数据是对南方南部的高中学生（N〜4,000）的数据 除了获得许可和无牌烟草零售商和大麻药房的数据以及人口普查区域 邻里灾难的措施评估该项目的目的：（目标1）检查 烟草零售商和大麻药房密度，青春期尼古丁和大麻蒸发； （目标2） 评估个体和社区理由在烟草零售商关联中的调节作用 和大麻药房密度，青春期尼古丁和大麻蒸发； （目标3）收集新数据 通过地理子样本中的深入存储观测值，以识别特定的商店特征（例如， 营销，最低年龄验证，产品可用性），有助于青少年尼古丁和大麻 烟。调查结果将为考虑新法规的政策制定者提供迫切需要的信息 保护青年的公共卫生。这项工作还将为未来的烟草的其他维度提供信息 和大麻政策（例如，送货，定价）及其对青年烟草和大麻使用的影响 国家一级。此K01利用了我现有的专业知识，并通过提供培训中的关键差距 新培训：1）大麻监管科学； 2）青年烟草和大麻的社会生态决定者 使用; 3）空间分析。我已经与导师紧密合作（根据他们的专业知识选择 培训区）制定雄心勃勃但可行的培训计划，该计划包括专家心理，课程 以及半手，科学会议以及赠款写作和研究传播技巧的持续发展。
