Bullying has been associated with several adverse health outcomes, including substance use. However, little is known about the association between bullying and e-cigarette use. This study examined the association between bully victimization and the frequency of e-cigarette use.
Data from the 2016-2017 Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey were used (N = 49,543). The target population consists of Canadian students enrolled in grades 7-12. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between bullying victimization status and e-cigarette use.
Among the students included in the study, 14.1% were bullied less than once a week. Bullying victimization was statistically significantly associated with higher odds of any e-cigarette use in the last 30 days. Likewise, those bullied daily or almost daily were more likely to use e-cigarettes more frequently compared to students not bullied. We found a statistically significant difference in analysis stratified by sex, with female bullying victims having higher odds of all measures of e-cigarette use.
Bullying victims were significantly more likely to use an e-cigarette, and findings appeared to vary by sex. Female bullying victims had a higher likelihood of e-cigarette use.
欺凌与多种健康不良后果有关，包括物质使用。然而，人们对欺凌与电子烟使用之间的关联知之甚少。本研究调查了受欺凌与电子烟使用频率之间的关系。
使用了 2016-2017 年加拿大学生烟草、酒精和毒品调查的数据（N=49543）。目标人群是加拿大 7-12 年级的学生。使用多变量逻辑回归模型来检验欺凌受害状况与电子烟使用之间的关系。
在所研究的学生中，14.1%的学生每周受欺凌不到一次。欺凌受害与 30 天内使用电子烟的可能性更高呈统计学显著相关。同样，与未受欺凌的学生相比，每天或几乎每天受欺凌的学生更有可能更频繁地使用电子烟。我们发现按性别分层的分析存在统计学显著差异，女性欺凌受害者使用电子烟的所有指标的可能性更高。
受欺凌的受害者更有可能使用电子烟，而且发现似乎因性别而异。女性欺凌受害者更有可能使用电子烟。
