| Abstract: | Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are relatively new and ENDS use data from community engagement programs may help us understand usage patterns and facilitate targeted longitudinal studies. Community members in Florida, USA, were asked about ENDS use, tobacco use, and health history/concerns by Community Health Workers. Among 7253 members recruited during 2014 to 2021 into our HealthStreet program, 1177 had ever used ENDS; the proportion increased from 12 to 27% from 2014 to 2021 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.5; 95% CI 1.7–3.5; Ever versus never used ENDS). Ever tobacco use was strongly associated with ENDS use; 69% of ever users were current tobacco users. Demographic determinants (sex, age, race) and food insecurity were strongest predictors of ENDS use. Most who had ever used ENDS were aged 18–25 (aOR 5.9; 95% CI 4.6–7.6; vs. aged 60 + years), White (aOR 3.7; 95% CI 3.2–4.3; vs. Black/African American), male (aOR 1.5; 95% CI 1.3–1.7; vs. female), and recently food insecure (aOR 1.8; 95% CI 1.5–2.0; vs. not recently food insecure). Those with respiratory issues were more likely to have used ENDS compared to those without (aOR 2.0; 95% CI 1.6–2.6; aOR 1.3; 95% CI 1.1–1.5). Members concerned about hypertension were less likely to have used ENDS (aOR 0.7; 95% CI 0.5–0.9). In this relatively rural, micropolitan sample, tobacco use, socio-economic determinants, and certain health history/concerns were strongly associated with ENDS use. Community outreach approaches are needed to further understand these factors and implement interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
