In this study, we estimate the prevalence of awareness and use of the JUUL e-ciga- rette among adolescents in the United States (US). We conducted a cross-sectional, self-report online survey between September 21 and October 3, 2018 that assessed awareness and use of JUUL e-cigarettes, other e-cigarettes, and combustible cigarettes in a national prob- ability sample of 1017 US adolescents aged 13-17 years. Approximately 45.5% of adolescents aged 15-17 years and 29.1% of adolescents aged 13-14 years had ever seen or heard of a brand of e-cigarette called 'JUUL'. Among adolescents aged 15-17 years, 7.6% had ever used a JUUL, 4.0% had used a JUUL in the past 30 days, and 0.3% had used a JUUL on 20-30 of the past 30 days. Among adolescents aged 13-14 years, 1.5% had ever used a JUUL, 0.8% had used a JUUL in the past 30 days, and 0.0% had used a JUUL on 20-30 of the past 30 days. In September-October 2018, we estimated that about 39 in 100 US adolescents aged 13-17 years were aware of the JUUL brand of e-cigarette, and about 3 in 100 were estimated to have used a JUUL e-cigarette in the past 30 days. Close to half of all past 30-day e-cigarette use involved use of a JUUL e-cigarette. Present prevalence estimates may be limited to online modes of survey data collection and to the time period in which the data were collected. Findings reinforce the public health importance of acting to reduce youth access to JUUL vaping products, and of rou- tinely monitoring youth awareness and use of specific e-cigarette brands.
在本研究中，我们估算了美国青少年中知晓并使用JUUL电子烟的比例。我们于2018年9月21日至10月3日开展了一项横断面自报告在线调查，在一个包含1017名13 - 17岁美国青少年的全国概率样本中，评估了JUUL电子烟、其他电子烟及可燃香烟的知晓情况和使用情况。15 - 17岁青少年中约45.5%以及13 - 14岁青少年中约29.1%曾见过或听说过一个名为“JUUL”的电子烟品牌。在15 - 17岁青少年中，7.6%曾使用过JUUL，4.0%在过去30天内使用过JUUL，0.3%在过去30天中的20 - 30天使用过JUUL。在13 - 14岁青少年中，1.5%曾使用过JUUL，0.8%在过去30天内使用过JUUL，0.0%在过去30天中的20 - 30天使用过JUUL。2018年9 - 10月，我们估计美国13 - 17岁青少年中约每100人中有39人知晓JUUL电子烟品牌，约每100人中有3人在过去30天内使用过JUUL电子烟。过去30天内所有电子烟使用情况中，近一半涉及使用JUUL电子烟。目前的患病率估计可能仅限于调查数据收集的在线方式以及数据收集的时间段。研究结果强化了采取行动减少青少年接触JUUL电子烟产品以及定期监测青少年对特定电子烟品牌的知晓情况和使用情况的公共卫生重要性。
