We examined trends in hookah use among New York City middle and high school students. We calculated prevalences, linear trends, and odds ratios of ever and current hookah use, by selected demographic variables, using 2008 through 2014 data from the New York State Youth Tobacco Survey. The prevalence of ever hookah use increased overall from 2008 through 2014 (8.9% to 13.0%, P = .01); current use was stable during this period but increased across many demographic characteristics. Our results indicate a need for efforts to educate populations with increasing prevalence of hookah use as well as policies that regulate use to reduce and denormalize hookah smoking.
我们研究了纽约市中学生中使用水烟的趋势。我们利用 2008 年至 2014 年纽约州青年烟草调查的数据，根据选定的人口统计学变量，计算了曾经和当前使用水烟的流行率、线性趋势和优势比。总体而言，曾经使用过水烟的流行率从 2008 年到 2014 年有所上升（从 8.9%到 13.0%，P =.01）；在此期间，当前使用率保持稳定，但在许多人口统计学特征方面有所增加。我们的研究结果表明，需要努力教育使用水烟的人群，同时制定规范使用的政策，以减少和消除水烟吸烟的正常化。
