目的:检查Juul使用模式,社会人口和个人因素与Juul使用,以及Juul启动和当前使用的原因,在大学生中。参与者:东南部一所大型大学的371名本科生的便利样本;于2018年4月招募。方法:横断面设计,采用在线调查。Logistic回归确定了当前使用的个人风险因素。结果:超过80%的参与者认识Juul; 36%的人报告曾经使用过,21%的人报告过去30天使用。当前使用Juul的显著风险因素为:男性、白色/非西班牙裔、低年级大学生和当前吸烟者。目前的Juul用户选择易用性和没有难闻的气味作为使用的理由。曾经的Juul用户最常认可的好奇心和朋友的使用作为尝试Juul的理由。结论:鉴于青少年和年轻人的尼古丁成瘾倾向,Juul的使用率令人震惊,需要立即干预。
Objective: Examine Juul use patterns, sociodemographic and personal factors associated with Juul use, and reasons for Juul initiation and current use, among college students. Participants: Convenience sample of 371 undergraduates at a large university in the southeast; recruited April 2018. Methods: Cross-sectional design using an online survey. Logistic regression identified the personal risk factors for current use. Results: Over 80% of participants recognized Juul; 36% reported ever use and 21% past 30-day use. Significant risk factors for current Juul use were: male, White/non-Hispanic, lower undergraduate, and current cigarette smoker. Current Juul users chose ease of use and lack of a bad smell as reasons for use. Ever Juul users most commonly endorsed curiosity and use by friends as reasons for trying Juul. Conclusions: Given the propensity for nicotine addiction among youth and young adults, rates of Juul use are alarming and warrant immediate intervention.
