Introduction:
This study examined potential longitudinal and bidirectional relationships between family conflict and adolescent e-cigarette use, and whether gender moderated these associations.
Methods:
Adolescents (NT1 = 1334; Mage = 13.11, SD = 0.82; 52% female; 50% White) from the United States completed surveys in the spring of 2016 and again in the fall of 2017.
Results:
Logistic regression analyses indicated that after controlling for previous e-cigarette use, family conflict was positively associated with a greater likelihood of e-cigarette use 6 months later. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that after controlling for previous family conflict, e-cigarette use was associated with increases in later family conflict, particularly for girls.
Conclusions:
Study findings highlight reducing family conflict and supporting family functioning as a possible intervention target for adolescent e-cigarette use, a major public health problem.
