Intersectionality of Sexual Orientation With Race and Ethnicity and Associations With E-Cigarette Use Status Among U.S. Youth.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although structural discrimination against sexual and racial/ethnicity minorities is a putative risk factor for youth tobacco use, understanding health disparities in youth E-cigarette use at the intersection of sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity is still lacking. This study aims to examine the differences in E-cigarette use prevalence among U.S. youth at the intersections of sexual orientation with race and ethnicity.

Methods

E-cigarette use status (never, experimental, or current use) was analyzed among 38,510 U.S. youth using a pooled data set from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System 2015-2019. The weighted E-cigarette use status between youth at the intersections of sexual orientation with race and ethnicity was reported, stratified by sex. Mult
