Adolescent electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is linked to increased odds of other risk behaviors, including substance use, driving, sexual activity, and violence. Age and sex can influence these associations.
Area of Science:
- Adolescent Health
- Behavioral Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is increasing among adolescents.
- The association between e-cigarette use and other risk behaviors requires further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between adolescent e-cigarette use and other risk behaviors.
- To determine if age and sex moderate these associations.
Main Methods:
- Utilized data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.
- Employed weighted logistic regression analysis to examine relationships among variables.
Main Results:
- Adolescent e-cigarette users exhibited higher odds of substance use compared to nonusers.
- E-cigarette use was associated with increased involvement in driving, sexual activity, and violence-related behaviors.
- Age and sex were found to moderate some of these observed relationships.
Conclusions:
- E-cigarette use among adolescents is significantly associated with a range of other risk behaviors.
- Comprehensive tobacco-free policies and youth substance use prevention programs should address multiple risk behaviors concurrently.
