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.

项目总结 吸引青少年的电子烟和合法大麻蒸发产品的市场不断增长。 青少年尼古丁和大麻挥发很普遍，尼古丁和大麻的共同使用挥发很常见，以及 许多年轻人从实体零售商(如电子烟商店和药房)购买电子烟产品。更大 青少年家庭和学校周围烟草和大麻零售商的密度可能会影响青少年的蒸发 通过更多地接触和接触市场来启动和依赖。尼古丁和大麻的蒸发是 这种情况相互交织，烟草零售环境可能会影响青少年的大麻蒸发，反之亦然。然而， 很少有研究研究零售商密度对青少年尼古丁和大麻挥发的影响，包括 烟草零售密度影响大麻蒸发，以及大麻药房密度是否影响尼古丁 蒸发。零售商密度对青少年大麻和尼古丁挥发的影响是否也缺乏数据 生活在贫困社区的人比例过高，导致大麻的差异 和烟草的使用。这个导师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社区劣势对青少年尼古丁的影响 和大麻蒸发，并提供新的培训，为我作为一名独立调查员的职业生涯做准备 注重烟草和大麻监管科学，以及获得R01级资金的能力。我要用四个 对南加州(N~4,000)高中生正在进行的前瞻性队列研究的多年数据， 以及有执照和无执照的烟草零售商和大麻药房以及人口普查区的数据 邻里劣势措施评价项目目标：(目标1)考察邻里劣势的关联性 烟草零售商和大麻药房密度与青少年尼古丁和大麻蒸发；(目标2)至 评估个人和邻里劣势对烟草零售商协会的调节作用 以及青少年尼古丁和大麻蒸发的大麻药房密度；以及(目标3)收集新的数据 通过在地理子样本中进行深入的店铺观察以识别特定的店铺特征(例如， 营销、最低年龄验证、产品可用性)导致青少年尼古丁和大麻 蒸发。调查结果将为考虑制定新法规的政策制定者提供急需的信息 保护青年的公共健康。这项工作还将为未来对烟草其他方面的研究提供信息 和大麻政策(如送货上门、定价)及其对青少年烟草和大麻使用的影响 国家级。这款K01利用了我现有的专业知识，并通过提供 新的培训：1)大麻管制科学；2)青少年烟草和大麻的社会生态决定因素 使用；3)空间分析。我与我的导师密切合作(根据他们在每个领域的专业知识进行选择 培训领域)制定一项雄心勃勃但可行的培训计划，其中包括专家指导、课程工作 和研讨会、科学会议，以及继续发展赠款撰写和研究传播技能。
