چکیده انگلیسی


- We examine cigarette and smokeless tobacco use from youth into young adulthood.
- There was a substantial amount of tobacco product transitioning in the cohort.
- Dual use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco was prevalent and persistent.
- The probability of dual users continuing dual use over any given year was 81%.
- Considering multiple forms of tobacco in research and interventions is important.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to evaluate and describe transitions in cigarette and smokeless tobacco (ST) use, including dual use, prospectively from adolescence into young adulthood.MethodsThe current study utilizes four waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to examine patterns of cigarette and ST use (within 30 days of survey) over time among a cohort in the United States beginning in 7th-12th grade (1995) into young adulthood (2008-2009). Transition probabilities were estimated using Markov modeling.ResultsAmong the cohort (N = 20,774), 48.7% reported using cigarettes, 12.8% reported using ST, and 7.2% reported dual use (cigarettes and ST in the same wave) in at least one wave. In general, the risk for transitioning between cigarettes and ST was higher for males and those who were older. Dual users exhibited a high probability (81%) of continuing dual use over time.ConclusionsFindings suggest that adolescents who use multiple tobacco products are likely to continue such use as they move into young adulthood. When addressing tobacco use among adolescents and young adults, multiple forms of tobacco use should be considered.
