Abstract:
The use of electronic cigarettes (ECs) is a major problem globally. Susceptibility and curiosity are important factors that develop prior to the onset of substance use, such as ECs, and are therefore considered as predictors. Both factors are used to obtain an extended index of susceptibility (ESIe-c), which allows the identification of adolescents who are at risk of starting to use these devices. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EC consumption and to assess the association of possible predictors with susceptibility to use and experimentation with ECs among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 377 adolescents (53.0% female). Participants were compared according to their experimentation with ECs. A total of 45.9% had already used electronic cigarettes, and 20.8% were current users. Among those who had not tried electronic cigarettes, 43.3% had a medium-high susceptibility to EC initiation. Consumption among close friends, receiving offers of consumption and alcohol consumption were associated with initiation. There was an inverse association between a medium susceptibility index electronic cigarette score and the consumption of cigarettes and positive affect; on the other hand, the lack of premeditation was associated with a higher susceptibility index score. Intrapersonal factors and social factors seem to influence the ESIe-c and onset of EC use, respectively. The main conclusion in this study is that susceptibility is influenced by intrapersonal factors such as affectivity and impulsivity through the lack of premeditation, and by social factors such as EC consumption by best friends.
摘要:
电子烟(EC)的使用是全球的主要问题。易感性和好奇心是在开始使用物质之前发展的重要因素,例如EC,因此被视为预测因子。这两个因素都用于获得扩展的敏感性指数(ESIE-c),这可以识别有开始使用这些设备风险的青少年。这项研究的目的是确定EC消费的患病率,并评估可能的预测因素与青少年使用和实验EC的易感性之间的关系。对377名青少年(53.0%为女性)进行了横断面研究。根据参与者与EC的实验进行比较。共有45.9%的人已经使用过电子烟,20.8%是当前用户。在那些没有尝试过电子烟的人中,43.3%对EC起始有中高敏感性。亲密朋友之间的消费,接受消费和饮酒的提议与开始相关.中等敏感性指数电子烟评分与卷烟消费量和积极影响之间呈负相关;另一方面,缺乏预谋与较高的易感性指数评分相关.个人内部因素和社会因素似乎会影响ESIE-c和EC使用的开始,分别。这项研究的主要结论是,易感性受到内在性因素的影响,如情感和冲动性通过缺乏预谋,以及社会因素,例如最好的朋友的EC消费。
