Worldwide, youth electronic cigarette use (vaping) has risen significantly over the past decade. This public health concern has spurred many high-quality studies characterizing country-specific prevalence, risk factors, physical and behavioral health complications, and optimal methods of assessment and counseling for youth vaping. Clinicians remain underexposed to this recent work, limiting translation of evidence into higher quality patient care. This review aims to provide pediatricians and other clinicians working with youth a clinically focused survey of key research findings and considerations based on recent evidence. This narrative review surveys emerging trends in EC use across different countries, reasons for youth vaping, characteristics of vaping materials that promote youth use, associations with combustible cigarette use, relation with cannabis and other illicit substances, physical and behavioral health risks associated with vaping, and methods of assessment, counseling, and intervention for problematic vaping in youth. Since vaping remains a relatively new phenomenon, long-term health consequences remain unknown.Conclusion: Youth vaping is an increasingly well-studied phenomenon with both physical and behavioral health risks. Pediatricians and other youth-focused clinicians can apply the lessons of recent research in work with youth and their families. What is Known: • Youth vaping is an increasingly prevalent public health concern. • Recent research demonstrates physical and behavioral health risks associated with vaping as well as methods for assessment, counseling, and intervention. What is New: • The current review summarizes the latest evidence in a clinically focused framework to facilitate translation of emerging knowledge to practice.
在过去的十年中,全球范围内青少年使用电子烟(蒸气烟)的现象显著增加。这一公共卫生问题促使许多高质量的研究对特定国家的流行率、风险因素、身体和行为健康并发症以及青少年蒸气烟评估和咨询的最佳方法进行了描述。临床医生对这些最新研究仍然知之甚少,限制了证据转化为更高质量的患者护理。本综述旨在为儿科医生和其他与青少年合作的临床医生提供一个以临床为重点的调查,根据最近的证据了解关键研究结果和考虑因素。这篇叙述性综述调查了不同国家 EC 使用的新兴趋势、青少年蒸气烟的原因、促进青少年使用的蒸气烟材料的特点、与可燃香烟使用的关联、与大麻和其他非法物质的关系、与蒸气烟相关的身体和行为健康风险,以及青少年蒸气烟问题的评估、咨询和干预方法。由于蒸气烟仍然是一个相对较新的现象,长期健康后果仍然未知。结论:青少年蒸气烟是一种越来越受到研究关注的现象,具有身体和行为健康风险。儿科医生和其他以青少年为重点的临床医生可以在与青少年及其家人的工作中应用最近研究的经验教训。已知的: • 青少年蒸气烟是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题。 • 最近的研究表明,蒸气烟与身体和行为健康风险以及评估、咨询和干预方法有关。新的: • 目前的综述以临床为重点的框架总结了最新的证据,以促进新知识向实践的转化。
