Sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics of e-cigarette ever-use: U.S. HINTS 6 Survey
Our findings suggest that sub-populations may be at varying risks of engaging in e-cigarette ever-use and current-use behaviors. Experiencing severe depressive symptoms was associated with e-cigarette ever-use, but not current-use. Future research is needed to continue to explore the relationship (e.g., bidirectional) between experiencing depressive symptoms and e-cigarette behaviors and the potential role of marital support in helping to prevent e-cigarette uptake.
