The association between home language, self-identified Hispanic origin, and current e-cigarette use among Hispanic youth in the United States - National Youth Tobacco Survey, 2022-2023.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cigarette smoking differs within the Hispanic population, with adults from Puerto Rico and Cuba (PRC) reporting higher percentages than those from Mexico and Central or South America. Limited research examines if there are similar patterns for e-cigarette use among Hispanic youth. This study examined associations between home language, self-identified Hispanic origin, and e-cigarette use among Hispanic youth.

Methods

The 2022-2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey included 13,724 Hispanic middle and high school students in the United States. Logistic regression, with multiple imputation for missing data, analyzed associations between home language, self-identified Hispanic origin, and their interaction with e-cigarette use, adjusting for demographics.
