Association between observing peers vaping on campus and E-cigarette use and susceptibility in middle and high school students.

Background

This study examines the association between exposure to e-cigarette use on school campus and e-cigarette use behaviors among adolescents in the United States.

Methods

Data were obtained from the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey. First, two multivariate logistic regression models examined the association between in-school exposure to e-cigarette use and ever and past 30-day (i.e., current) e-cigarette use. Next, a multivariate logistic regression model to examine the relationship between in-school exposure to e-cigarette use and susceptibility to use was conducted among a subsample (n = 11,958) of never e-cigarette users. Covariates included grade, race/ethnicity, marketing exposure, and ever use of other tobacco products.
