Waterpipe tobacco smoking is increasing in the United States among college students. Through a web-based survey, we explored associations among factual and perceived knowledge, perceived risks and worry about harm and addiction, and desire to quit among 316 college waterpipe tobacco smoking users. Overall, factual knowledge of the harm of waterpipe tobacco smoking was poor, factual and perceived knowledge was weakly correlated, both forms of knowledge were related inconsistently to perceived risks and worry, and neither form of knowledge was associated with the desire to quit. Findings provide preliminary insights as to why knowledge gaps may not predict cessation among waterpipe users.
在美国，吸食水烟在大学生中呈上升趋势。通过一项基于网络的调查，我们探讨了316名吸食水烟的大学生在事实性知识与认知性知识、感知风险与对危害及成瘾的担忧以及戒烟意愿之间的关联。总体而言，对水烟吸食危害的事实性知识掌握较差，事实性知识与认知性知识相关性较弱，两种知识形式与感知风险和担忧的关联并不一致，且两种知识形式均与戒烟意愿无关。研究结果为知识差距可能无法预测水烟使用者戒烟的原因提供了初步见解。
