Intention to quit or reduce e-cigarettes, cannabis, and their co-use among a school-based sample of adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Little is known about the prevalence and predictors of adolescents' intention to quit or reduce use of e-cigarettes and/or cannabis.

Methods

Frequencies of intention to change (quit, reduce) e-cigarettes and/or cannabis use were examined among 23,915 surveyed middle and high school students with sole and co-use. Predictors of intention to change were identified via LASSO/multilevel logistic regression.
