Internalizing and externalizing problems on the age of e-cigarette initiation in youth: Findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH), 2013-2017.

ABSTRACT: Previous research has established an association between internalizing and externalizing problems with e-cigarette use in youth. Secondary analysis of Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health youth waves 1-4(2013-2017). Age of initiation of ever e-cigarette use and age of first report of past 30-day e-cigarette use were prospectively estimated among never e-cigarette users(waves 1-3). Weighted interval-censoring multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were fit to assess differences in each e-cigarette outcome among youth with internalizing and externalizing problems, as well as the interaction between internalizing and externalizing problems, while adjusting for covariates. Weighted interval-censoring survival analyses estimated the age of initiation of ever and age of first report
