E-Cigarette Use Patterns and High-Risk Behaviors in Pregnancy: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2016-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prevalence of e-cigarette use has increased dramatically in the last decade in the U.S. Understanding the prevalence, patterns of use, and risk factor associations of e-cigarette use in pregnant women is particularly important, as this could have potential health implications for the mother and the developing child.

Methods

Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey data from 2016 to 2018, adult women of reproductive age (18-49 years) who reported being pregnant (n=7,434) were studied. Self-reported current e-cigarette use was the main exposure. Other measures included combustible cigarette smoking status and high-risk behaviors (including other tobacco, marijuana, or heavy alcohol use; binge drinking; and others). All analyses were done in 2019
