Role of Mental Health in the Association Between E-Cigarettes and Cannabis Use.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

E-cigarette use may be associated prospectively with subsequent cannabis use among U.S. adolescents. However, it remains unclear whether this association differs by individual mental health status. This longitudinal study examines effect modifications by mental health status.

Methods

The first 4 waves (2013-2017) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study were analyzed in 2020. Adolescents (aged 12-17 years) who reported never using cannabis at baseline waves were included. Waves 1-3 were each considered as baseline for their 12-month follow-up waves. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate the effect modification of internalizing mental health and externalizing mental health problems on the associations between baseline past 30-day
